M14 mag pouches would be in short supply, if available at all, by the Twilight War timeframe. Troops would probably have to make do with standard "universal" M16 mag pouches and work around. (Smarter guys/units might barter some canvas pouches or bandoliers from local tailors by the 2000 time frame, though).

Edit to add: Some experimental data (with FAL mags, but same-same really for M14 mags) I just checked from my box of unused TA-50. An M16 3x30 ALICE mag pouch will hold two 20 round 7.62mm mags without drama. People using them for that might want to stuff a spare field dressing or cravat or two in the bottom of the pouch to make the mags ride higher and easier to access. An ALICE canteen pouch can hold four of them with some decent retention from the snaps. I don't have a claymore bag handy, but you can probably carry more M14 mags than are comfortable to have hanging from one strap on your shoulder in one.

Also -- on the weapons list, I'd drop the 1903A3, Garand and M1 Carbine from the list entirely. Ammo to support any of those was, if I'm not mistaken, no longer in the inventory except in tiny/remnant quantities (7th SFG in that time frame could get 30 Carbine for fam fire with M1 Carbines, but I think most of the inventory had been divested as part of foreign aid or just aged out of serviceability. 30-06 was given to CMP and that was about it.) Same problem for the BARs and 1919 machineguns (though some USN Mk 21 7.62 conversions might be in a warehouse somewhere circa 1997).

I'd recommend substituting the M16EZ on the list personal weapon list, and make the exotics include stuff that might have been inherited from other governmental agencies or legacy small arms still in the active inventory. The M3 grease guns were still on limited issue in that time frame to guys like M88 crews, so I'd take that off the secondary list and make it a possible personal weapon. The Mini-14 is good, I think -- not USGI for the .mil, but it was in service with the Federal corrections/prisons guys and some local law enforcement. MP5 and Uzis, which were in service with various local law enforcement and federal agencies could be on the list also, just that basic "whatever can be scrounged" stuff.

I'd make shotguns a possible primary gun, also -- not ideal at all, but a smart PC might trade up for something better soon as possible.
