So, due to a LARGE cock up on my part, I managed to fry all the electrics in my M14 Veteran, long story short,being lazy, charged battery in the stock, it got hot, melted all insulating materials between the batteries and the MOSFET, shorting everything out and with a healthy dose of 240 volts to make sure everything fryed to a black fizzing pulp

It now requires re-wiring and to a degree re-building. But if I'm going to do it I have a dilemma that I need to sort first.
Now, theres a large part of me that loves the EBR and when I made my G&G box fit the stock it sort of had a wow factor, as no one but those that owned the KART or converted it to the TM version could even dream of owning one, but now it looks like G&G are now going to make one, this no longer holds true :-/
But there is still an amount of a wow factor that is given when you pull out a gun from your gun bag that is bigger than your average SAW, that is still only a single shot sniper system. You just don't get that when you pull out a walnut stocked M14
The funny thing is most M14 owners, Ive talked to or read on forums about the M14, don't like the long version EBR for some strange reason, so it makes them an oddity over here.
Non of this has anything to do with the fact that the EBR is probably a better and more rigid chassis for an airsoft sniper rifle, which is another reason I'm drawn to it.
So I put it to you, as I cant seem to make up my mind, I've tryed to weigh the pros and cons of stupidly heavy against more ergonomic and adjustable, against how light the M14 is, but not totally suited to its sniping roll (stock wise), and I've even asked team mates, but they are just full auto grunts who don't understand what I do, so I'm asking like minded individuals.....
Please help an indecisive old man ???
