m1a

Hi guys, I've been considering glass bedding my M1A that is currently sitting in a standard walnut stock from Springfield. I decided to let a gunsmith do it for me so I call one up and ask him for a quote on glass bedding. He asked if my stock had a metal liner in it. I was not sure what that...

Hi, New to the platform and new to the forum here. I was wondering whether anyone here with has 6.5 has run a shorter barrel than the standard 22". I prefer shorter barrels for maneuverability--both in terms of weight and getting through brush, etc., so I'm considering cutting my M1A in 6.5...

Anyone else tried this IMI stuff specifically? Stocking up for NJ. I don’t want to run dry and have to deal with the ammo purchasing while there. Got a decent deal on these, nothing 2021 crazy. Still reloading but it’s nice to have a few neat boxes for a rainy day. I’ve been pleased with IMI...

Hello All, I bought a Springfield Scout Squad and was looking at putting a sage chassis on it in the future, at the certified dealers it asks medium or heavy barrel and have searched around and can't find a definite answer to which it would be, I assume it would be a medium barrel and that heavy...

Good morning, I split my time at work between a feed truck and a saddle. For years I’ve had Winchesters, both 94 and 70, in circulation until seven years ago when my “girlfriend’s dad,” now my father-in-law, gifted me a Ruger Guide in ‘06. These made splendid truck guns, which I’ve come to...

Evening guys, At the range, a wicked breeze picked up and basically stirred up a sandstorm throughout the range. My M1A unfortunately got hit with the full brunt of it and was covered in sand/dust. The optic was easy enough to clean, and the stock/barrel was easily wiped down. But the action...

Hi, I originally wanted to buy an AR15 or a bullpup, but CA's AWB came out and I needed a rifle, so I bought a standard M1A for a very good deal for about $1,400. After a few years, I decided to work on the M1A and build it up with the Blackfeather RS chassis along with the LSP. I had a lot of...

I could go with a receiver mount but wanted to try the front rail system too. I have a picatinny extension in, and a cantilever mount for my crossfire II 2x7 scout scope. it feels sturdy enough, and my sight picture with my cheek riser is perfect. Want to hear other recommendations / advice

All, Background: I have recently inherited an M1A SOCOM 16 from my grandfather who recently passed away. I am looking at using this rifle for hog (this summer and fall) and deer hunting this season as well. I have plenty of experience with the M16/M4A1 platform and regular bolt action rifles...

Hi guys, I wanted to try out a range of different ammo for my M1A (LRB NM, medium weight, 1:10 twist, chrome moly, parkerized barrel). I was looking at some Federal Premium 125gr TRU, Fiocchi 150gr FMJ, and Federal Premium 175gr BTHP rounds. Can anyone tell me what results I should expect with...

So before we get into the Why anyone would want to use the M1D style scope mount on an M1A, I want to get into the How can it mounted or is it possible? I’ve looked up everything I can about both the mount and the rifle and was easily able to find a repro mount and scope. The trouble I’m running...

So I’m nuts, I understand collections grow, I didn't need another M1A, but..... a 1987 Super Match popped up for sale with a really nice “buy now” price. The seller seemed knowledgeable in the post and had several hundred good reviews. Only four pictures but it looked promising. I understand it...

USN1 Just tossing this question out there. Wanting some ideas from you all here, on the forum on a not crazy expensive piece of glass for an M1-A, want to cry once not twice ha,ha,ha, I have found a decent looking Burris MSR, 4.5-14x42mm, AO Ballistic Plex. I lost the Springfield Optic Mount...

Please feel free to tell me what I got and what I missed or anything else I need to look for. I need to work draw pressure, trim hand guard, polish piston, shim gas lock, and trim the stock ferrule. Looks like I’ll be hitting up TonyBen’s channel again... RNGR1 I had to clean it up quite a...
