We received news from Echo 1 USA Airsoft that the M14 RIS has now arrived in the USA. US-based airsoft players can now check with their favourite retailers if their pre-orders are ready to ship. "The M14 rifle design is based off the very successful M1 Garand which was used in WWII. Even with the success of the M1 Garand, it had it's flaws, thus the M14 was born. Using the 7.62 (.308) round, and the ability of automatic fire, the M14 was a champion design. Used primarily in the Vietnam war. Although the M14 was phased out as the standard-issue rifle in the sixties by the M16, the M14 has fought back in many modern military units. The M14 is now a popular platform for snipers.

The new R.I.S. design allowed for a more modern look and feel without losing the original firepower and range. The new R.I.S. design allows for a fully adjustable stock and cheek piece. Having the R.I.S. system is another plus, allowing for easy attachments, such as bipods and long range scopes. This M14 R.I.S. is an ever popular for any sniper or designated marksman."
