The M14 was very much a big gov ordnance department dinosaur, not horrible, not great, the TRW rifles were the best of the lot due to using modern manufacturing techniques to produce an archaic design. The biggest scandal of the whole program and the main reason for it's early demise was the insistence on sticking with a full caliber round, if they had gone with something like the British .280 the M16 would have had a much harder time gaining traction.
