I'm looking to kitbash a marksman in the 101st Aribourne Division. Is it possible for a guy to use a M14 SOCOM?

Since I'm don't know much military specs can I pm someone questions regarding insignia?

Thanks

Nai

I am not sure if the 101 has any of the Mk14 EBR. I know they have regular M14s and some have been fitted with stocks by Sage, Troy and Vltor. But they all had the full 22 inch barrel and were used in a SDM sort of role. If it were me I would go with the full length barrel model with the intermediate scope, since you can find pictures of conventional troops using that set up. I know HT made a version and I see them at MD and Cotswold every so often. It looks more like the M39 the Marines came up with.

Fill free to ask about the insignia or you can pm me if you'd like.
