USCG HITRON Unit/Sage EBRM14 T
By nlmindcontroller
Watch closely as you will see the USCG Sage M14T EBR. While many might not have realized that the U.S. Coast Guard followed suit after The U.S. Navy Seals. Then the USMC, U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Army had their own versions of the Sage EBR Platform as well.

"The M14 EBR was evaluated in 2004 to become the U.S. Coast Guard M14 Tactical rifle. The U. S. Coast Guard requirement for the M14 EBR differs from the Navy version in that the direct connect flash hider is replaced with a Smith Enterprise, Inc.muzzle brake. The U.S. Coast Guard is more concerned with minimizing muzzle rise from use on a rolling deck than eliminating muzzle flash.The muzzle brake manufactured for the M14 Tactical rifle is marked U.S.C.G. SMITH ENT. By 2005, the U.S. Coast Guard had procured 500 M14Tactical rifles. The U. S. Coast Guard type classified this model as the M14T. Its intended role was to arm Coast Guard helicopter crews to fulfill its new counter terrorism role. The M14T was expected to see service with the U. S. Coast Guard until 2015."
