I used the M21 and M24 back in the day. My son uses the 300 Win Mag M2010 today.
 

Thanks for your service...and the service you did with your camera for the troops.

They look like great weapons.  I never got the opportunity to shoot them, just pass them back and forth when I rode with them on a mission.  

Thank you and your son for your service and having out backs!

Do you know which weapon this is? The barrel, gas system, and flash suppressor look like those of the M-14. fine image; MikeZ.

It's a Mk.14 Mod.0 Enhanced Battle Rifle. A rough $3,200 buys you one from Fulton Armory .
