Just got my first M1A (SA full-size), and have been looking around for places to learn more about this family of rifles. This seems like the place.
Quick Bio: I'm an IT Manager who works for a Satellite Communications company out here in SoCal. When not working, I'm a shooter, a amateur photographer, and a computer geek. I do IT consulting on the side, and have just formed a new company to sell firearms accessories (include stocks from JAE, Sage, Troy, etc).
Anyway, this is a great forum, and I look forward to being a member of this community.
Welcome to the forum bigmike. LA has a couple of nice ranges up in the hills. Angeles and Burro Canyon come to mind. Both very nice and fun to visit. Enjoy the forum.
Welcome aboard, bigmike82, I hope you have come here for more than just learning, it sounds like you have alot to offer as well. I know that you will enjoy the forums and being here with us, have fun.
I do go to Angeles quite often...Burro's a bit of a drive, so not too much. Still, not a bad selection of ranges out here...Angeles goes out to 1000 yards, as does BRC's up in Castaic.
WRA-MI, Angeles and Burro Canyon are still kicking. I think there were some temp closes over the years due to fires in the area's of both but there going strong now.
Welcome, Big Mike. You've got a great rifle. It's just too bad that you can't accesorize it much, or use a 20 round magazine, living in California. I miss the beach since moving from there, but not the gun restrictions.
Truth! The gun laws here do suck, though the CGF (Cal Guns Foundation) is hard at work at restoring some sanity. Baby steps...but definitely in the right direction.
For my first one, my JAE stock should do fine in conjunction with a muzzle brake. Getting one with a SAGE or other tactical stock will require me to disable the mag release. A pain, but I still get to shoot it.
Hey bigmike82, I'll be over at Angeles 11/6 if your interested. I think a few other guys from here may also come.
