Army found itself on the market for a quality sniper rifle. Such qualities were inherent in the M14 rifle and it soon lent itself well to special modification under the weaponsmiths of the Rock Island Arsenal. M14 rifles were converted to this new form, offering the same high-caliber hitting power of the M14 while delivering on accuracy through some subtle additions - namely in the form of a ranging telescopic sight. The new system was christened the XM21 and about 1,435 rifles were modified in this fashion for the United States Army.
