M1A Loaded

[mighty2]

Thinking of getting an M1A loaded with rail system.

What to know what kind of groups and range you are getting from your.

Thanks in advance!!

Yeah that Socom II looks mighty nice!

 

[alfahornet]

Are you looking at full-size rifle or carbine?

With my M1A rifle I have gotten around 2MOA with Wolf or surplus ammo and I am pretty sure a better shooter could improve on that. But that's what I was capable of.

So where can one handle an M1A before they buy it in the Fort Wayne area and what can you expect to spend. Thanks

If you don't mind driving 60+ miles, Midwest Guns in Mishawaka has/had them last time I was there. Several different configurations and set-ups.

The urban camo Socom II is on my top 5 to get list. Too bad my to get list may take years to acquire.

Out of the box M1A/M14 should do 2.5 MOA average with optics.

Thanks for the info, I will just be sticking with the Savage 10fp, but will be looking to add the box mag to it.

midwest has piles of m1a's. i almost got one but got a dpms lr-308 and glad i did. love the m1a's but this thing shoots sweet.

Great guns. You should pay around $1,600 for a loaded model.

Just got my SOCOM II today!!! Can't wait to shoot. I will post some pics on how it shoots.

Thats strange, it looks like a 16", but I dont see the foreward rail of a Socom 16 or the 4 rail frontend of the Socom II. Is this how you bought it? is it new?
It looks like a Socom II with the 4-rail removed and a GI handguard installed.

Myself I'd rather have the rifle pictured above. The rail biz doesn't do much for me.

Not new. GI handguard is on it now. I have the Socom 16 mount ordered. There is really no need for the 4-rail system. Too clunky, but it is a SocomII.

Lately, I've been really tempted by a Scout Squad. I don't want any of those rails(maybe a scope eventually), but the rifle has appeal.

Honestly, I'm sold on the slogan: Bring Enough Gun. I just bought a shirt with that on it, along with a picture of the rifle.

It was this one!:

I think I'm going to go put it on.

Sweet shirt! I too was also tempted by the Scout Squad. It was 16 1/4" vs 18". I found the better deal on the SocomII. Looking at replacing the fiberglass stock for a wood one. Yeah I don't need all those rails. Too much clunk.

 

[Greenmonsta79]

I had been looking at one myself and I like it without the rails on the front looks much cleaner.

I have a Socom II, and want to replace the stock with GI walnut myself.

I would like a full length top rail though. but the S.A. is just an extended version of the clunky 4 rail system.

I suppose I'll just settle for one of the rails that use the stripper clip guide and bolts to the side of the receiver...I plan on mounting a red dot sight of some kind because my 45+ year old eyes just cant see well enough to use the irons anymore.

If you are going to use a Red Dot, then instead of getting a clunky rail just get the scout mount that comes on the Socom 16. I just bought one for my SocomII on Gunbroker.
