Springfield M1A

Nice rifle, I have the same with a carbon barrel.

You should get the arms#18 mount, I love mine. It is low profile and easy to setup.

Looks like this with arm# 22 low rings.

Very nice looking...that walnut stock gives it a classic look
I have a Springfield in a synthetic stock...I bought myself a Smith Enterprises cheek riser. It attaches very solidly with velcro and buckles so you don't have to drill through that nice wooden stock!
 
I need to find me an M1A, I feel my #### falling off! :D

Seriously, one should not go through life without experiencing the better fit and finish of an M1A or LRB or Smith for that matter. They really are a thing of beauty! :)

Must have! :evil:

Cheers,
Barney

The general opinion of whom exactly? Is it because it reportedly has all cast parts? Which is nonsense by the way. Most of you guys couldn't identify a casting from a forging if you had to.

I don't think anyone will deny that an LRB is the top of the line but let's not kid ourselves. At $3500 for the base model it isn't inexpensive. Those who moan about $2000 for a Springfield dare not go that direction. M1A's shoot fine and you'll get lots of good years out of one.

Maybe my words weren't carefully chosen. By less reliable, i didn't not reliable. It is a fine rifle and should continue to prove so for the many years to come!
 
Looks like you beat me to it ;) That's very close to what I imagined doing with mine! Are you the one who bought the other M1A off Elwood Epps about 2 months ago?

Also, with normal rings, would you be able to still use the iron sights?

Thanks

Yep that's me, very happy I did too!

I think you would need see trough rings, I just hope the qd rings I got will keep the scope zeroed. I will see tomorow I guess.
 
Lucky duck....that's my dream M-14. Best Springfield M1A for the money. gorgeous walnut stock, national match features, stainless barrel, pure business in an elegant package. A nice S.A. Leather sling would complete the package.

Thanks! I really love the package. No leather on this baby, all USGI mesh :)
 
Loaded vs 'std' model

Worth the extra? Wonder about the loaded with synthetic stock, stainless barrel. Very similar to what's been discussed here.

American Walnut on a Loaded M1A with stainless match barrel is breathtaking....synthetic is nice too, but only that cammo McMillian Super Match stock....or OD Green

My Norinco M14S sits in a synthetic CADPAT stock...looks Amazing

But I wish I had the 3K to buy a Loaded Walnut with stainless match barrel and NM sights...the ###iest M1A you can get....in a close second the SOCOM 16 in OD Green synthetic stock, or a Scout in American Walnut, with EOTec sight ;)

Damn I'd love me a Springfeild M1A Loaded Walnut ;)
 
Those McMillan stocks pack quite a punch indeed. Although I'd never buy one at that price...I'd get a heart attack for every new scratch :p

If I had the dough, it would have been an LRB M25. But so far I really enjoy my investment at the range! And soon moose hunting.
