Current Marine Use of M14's? East coast/West coast?

Can any one tell me what the status of marine issued M14's is?

My cousin is currently deployed and tells me that the marines do not use m14's. He probably just doesn't have any issued in this unit but is it an East coast/West coast thing?

I know on different's photo page there are plenty of 2005 pics of marines using m14's and dmr's.

I seem to have read that east is issuing M14's in the DMR role and the west as went with the SAM-R configutation of M16's.

Any info?

Thanks Guys.

DMR's are the only M14s in use except for the M14NMs for Match use. DMR's are used only by certain units like Recon and others.

The SAM-Rs are a short time limited issue thing. They only built 100 of them and once they are turned in for repair they will be scrapped. So if you have them you can use them, but once it breaks..it's gone.
