I aquired my SOCOM 16 sometime back. When I registered it with SAI, I also redeemed the loaded coupon to get a discount on SAI magazines, a cleaning kit, and soft case.
My next acuasition was several CMI magazines and ammo. I am now working on a spare parts kit.
Future plans include maybe removing the sight rail and installing a full coverage handguard.
I am happy with the XS sights that came with rifle. I have rifles that will shoot tight groups at long distances. The way I see it, the M14 M1A has a maximum effective distance of 460 meters. I have shot targets out to 400 yards. I can get center of mass hits on a man size target with what I have, so I am a happy camper.
I wanted a handy rifle chambered for 7.62 NATO that would balance and carry well and perform most other tasks well. As background: I am a Jeff Cooper fan, but I do not believe he was a god.
I am still reading past posts about your rifles and hope to get more ideas.
