The M24 was supposed to replace the M14/M21. The M110 is supposed to replace the M24 but the Army is still upgrading M24s ( http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2008/10/02/us-army-to-upgrade-m24-rifles/ ). With all the urgent expenses the military is facing, I think both the M24 and M14 will be around for some time. I think it will be around for a while. The M24 was supposed to replace the M14/M21.

Once M110s are fielded on a widespread basis the M14 days will be drastically shortened. I wouldn't be surprised to see some Spec Ops guys with them still but nothing like they are used today.

It is more or less a stop gap. It will be out of service once there are enough M110 in the field. The M14 days are over in the US military. It is more or less a stop gap.
