What kind of role do you plan on playing with this gun? If you're going to be moving a lot, I would not suggest the m14, as they're better suited for a DMR role. Have you considered a support gun model? RPKs have a long barrel, take AK mags, and run a solid v3 mechbox.

This role will be an aggressive marksman, as sometimes I need to take an aggressive stance at games, but it really doesn't work out with a bolt action and an inaccurate M11.
I don't plan on doing as much running around as I do running my sniper.
I'm willing to sacrifice weight for any functionality that enables the gun to work better.
I want to end up having good accuracy and consistency.
I don't really want a support gun, they are too inconvenient for transport, and I don't want to be running through 3 bags off bb's/round
The m14 sounds just what I'm looking for...
I'll definitely add the regular M14 to my list of considerations, along with the M16. I want to get as much info as I can before making a decision.
