  Scott Duff's book on the M14 combines the aspects of both field and technical manuals. Sections include an overview / history of the M14 from it's early conception phase, ( the T44, around the mid 1940's) to the XM25, an M14 sniper rifle utilized by U.S. Army Special Forces and U.S.N. Seal teams in Grenada and Desert Storm. Also Chapters on Assembly / Disassembly, Maintainence, Zeroing the weapon, and an excellent section on match conditioning the weapon. The book is well written, with a light, easily read-able style. It covers many more aspects of this rifle than any other single text in print. The only potential drawbacks are that the tips given on subjects ranging from cleaning to handloads don't go into very much detail. They go into enough detail to get the point across, but often not enough to fully explain the reasoning behind the suggestion. The other fault is that some of the other explainations left my head spinning; lack of familiarity with many of the part names the guilty culprit. The best aspect of this book is the match conditioning instructions. The section is a veritable recipie for an awesome rifle
