The best book on them is Peter Senich’s ‘The Long-Range War’ (1996). It’s the full Vietnam era history of them as ordered via Project ENSURE 240. Here’s my XM21 replica on top, and mid-80s M21 replica on bottom. The www.m14forum.com has a bunch of detailed links on the XM21.

Love my XM21s. I have all 3 gens. M84 in a G&H mount (scored one that x’ed out the M1 serial # and stamped the M14 serial # on it.

Here's my three replicas of the early M14-based sniper rifles. The prototype 'hinged' optic-setup on the bottom took a few years to restore...
