There were 4 producers for the US Military- Springfield Armory, H&R, Olin Mathieson (Winchester) and TRW. The civilian rifles (clones) are not the same as the true M14, and are made by several companies.
The M14 was designed as the T44 experimental rifle, an evolutionary step above the M1 Garand used during World War II, in 1954. It entered production in 1959. Production was halted in 1964 when the M14 was replaced on the frontlines by the M16 assault rifle.
The M21 is just an M14 but was the U.S. army's official Sniper Rifle from 1969-1988 (which was then replaced by the modern M24 SWS), and the M21 has a Leatherwood 3-9 Adjustable Ranging Telescope (ART) telescopic Sight, and furnished match grade ammunition to improve its accuracy over the M14.
The M14 was up to about 1965. After that, the M16
Yes, It is a more accurate version of the M14. Its range is about 1000 meters.
Yes, the M14 service rifle was standard issue to the US Army & US Marine Corps riflemen; and both the Army & Marines landed in South Vietnam armed with M14 rifles. The M16 Assault Rifle was "considered" to be a "jungle rifle" for use only in Vietnam during the mid 1960's (reference US Government wall posters at Fort Ord CA).

Springfield Armory still produces M14 clone rifles. They are in semi (full auto is inacurate anyways) and are called M1A1's.

The M14, an American-made 7.62x51mm battle rifle, was originally manufactured by four companies. Springfield Armory, the Winchester Repeating Arms Company, and Harrington & Richardson were initially awarded contracts by the United States to produce the M14 in 1959. Thompson-Ramo-WooldridgeInc. (TRW) was also contracted to build the M14 later on. From 1959 to 1964, when the M14 was withdrawn from standard issue service, 1,376,031 M14s were built by these four companies.
M14 was standard issue military rifle before m16.
Yes, the M14 is capable of fully automatic fire.
Yes, an M14 Airsoft Sniper is good. My cousin has almost all of the airsoft guns their are and he loves the M14. I would recommend it.
The typical airsoft m14 weighs around 5lbs but the socom m14's are slightly lighter and the m14 ebr's weigh in at close to 15 lbs.
The M14 was never factory made as a semi-auto.
