Anyone own an M15?

I found a 1958 copy of American Rifleman at a used book store with an article about the then new M14,in the article it tells about and shows pictures of a shorter and lighter version called the M15.

Just wondering if anyone has one or has seen one and if they are sought after collectors items.

I don't think this rifle was ever actually used after testing or in civilian hands. There was a later variant of the standard M14 that took the place of this rifle noted as the M14E2.

Good Summary on the M14 is located here:

it sure would be cool to at least see a reproduction done on a m1a they make the fake select fire option and the heavy barrel could be easily added

thanks for the link i will check it out.

With the first m16 prototypes showing up at almost the same time I would think the m15 would have been doomed from the start.
