Yes, but we were talking "Battle Rifle" not "Assault rifles".
depends how large the strippers are
Correct, all "M-14" rifles are considered machine guns, as they were built with a selector switch.
My USMC issued "U.S. Military Springfield M-14" was Ser# 183260, and built in 1959. But the fun switch had been removed.
The more I contemplate the question, the more I feel that this would be my choice.

Polytech M14 (and have a GOOD gunsmith do the bolt conversion/fix)……………………….
Hogwash. I owned one for decades and had zero problems. That crap was trumped up back in the day by Fulton Armory because the Chicom rifles cost half the price but were better made.
Ok.
I trust your word.
I don’t trust FA, or their work.
I'm with ya' on that. Years ago I had Charlie Maloney "massage" my M1A. Dude's a magician with an M1A.
