I fired my first 44 rounds (3 different types of ammo) through my standard walnut M1A today. Unbelievably accurate and easy to sight-in. What a fantastic rifle. I have two ARs, and carried an M16A2 in the USMC infantry in Gulf War 1, but I am convinced that the M1A is the best battle-rifle available. Deadly accurate. Highly effective killing power. Excellent range. Proven battle history. What a great rifle. Saving up for a Scout/squad next.
Sounds like wayyyyy too much fun! Glad to see you like the M1. I have fond memories of shooting them as well.
I just bought mine a week ago and I have put 120 rounds of multiple manufacture. So far the only ammo my gun hates is the Monarch steel .308 rounds. The brass Monarch rounds fire 100%, but their steel cased Ammon has fifty percent failure rate. The firing pin hits the primer. But half the time it does not discharge. I have run about 2000 rounds of Monarch through my pistol with zero failures.
Welcome Bart. Go by our introduction section and tell us a bit about yourself. and maybe post a pic of the M1A.
I bought my first M1A in 1984' & I distinctly remember not being able to stop grinning for over a month, I still to this day break a smile every time I fire a round off in one of my "girls" .
Hi everyone! This is my first post. I am the proud owner of a brand- new M1A Scout Squad, walnut stock. Have not fired it yet, am still in awe of the rifle and can't quit looking at it. A range visit is planned very soon!
Welcome aboard Mark #3,I call you that because we have a couple other Marks on here . We love pics by the way.
