Harrington & Richardson was the largest M14 producer, with approximately 537,000 rifles manufactured. This example bears the correct heel marking "U.S. RIFLE 7.62 MM M14 H.&R. ARMS CO." on its steel receiver, aligning with its U.S. origin and the 1959-1963 production era.
The rifle uses a gas-operated, piston-driven action with a rotating bolt and is chambered for 7.62x51 NATO. It features a 22 inch barrel and a detachable box magazine system with a 20+1 capacity; one 20-round magazine is included.
Sighting equipment is classic M14: a protected front post and an aperture rear adjustable for windage and elevation. The receiver bridge does not have a stripper-clip guide installed.
Furniture consists of a wood stock with a metal buttplate and sling swivels, matched to a fiberglass upper handguard with transverse ribs. Length of pull is 13.0 inches, offering a traditional shoulder fit and handling consistent with the platform's service configuration.
