I pulled this link from a post on LI Firearms Forums:

Anybody want to stop the .gov from spending our tax dollars to have someone cut M14's into chunks? Sign it!

Typical Washington BS. Those are great rifles, and they'd sell every one. But a government that's burning $200 million per day on a junket to India doesn't care about saving a few hundred million by selling surplus rifles, and besides, it's against policy. They and especially Eric Holder are the most anti-gun administration in history. They won't even allow the re-import of M1's from Korea. Maybe the Repubs in the new Congress can change the policy, but don't hold your breath.

This has been floating around for a few years now, and even if the ATF did change it's "once a machine gun... always a machine gun", it will never happen; even less likely since the military has been pressing the M-14 back into service.

Not really...

Many CMP gun clubs held M-14's in their stores for decades. Many, if not all were recalled to be pressed into service in the middle east... The chopping has stopped for the moment after a lot of paperweights were made. Unless there's a shift in policy, M-14's will never see the CMP for civilian sale - petition or no petition. I long lost and have been unable to find a photograph I had many years ago of a pile of M-14's, M2 Carbines and Thompsons, piled high by a front-end loader to make room for Humvees in a .mil warehouse... The horror, the horror...
