  |  M1a Socomii Ok my NRA card carrying friends I need some expert advice for my next firearm purchase. I sold my gun collection before leaving for the sand-box, and since returning home have been mulling over what I should purchase. Right now I am looking for a high-power rifle that can support all the tactical rail-mounted toys that I have accumulated in the service of this mans army. It needs to be something that I can shoot on weekends at the range (and not go broke on ammo), and also be able to put down a buck, moose, wild pig, bear etc... I am currently looking at the Springfield Armory M1A SOCOMII. Which chambered in 7.62X51. Springfield Armory Any thoughts? I am looking at buying online either a new or like-new for between $1600-1700.

| unrepentant grunt   | Re: M1a Socomii I own a M1A The National Match model from Springfield. I also have an M14D from surplus. The Springfield is a great weapon. However if you go for it, make sure you spring for the TRW Hard Bolt. Also get the E-2 Stock if you can find one. As for Mag's GE does not make them any longer. You will have to hit the Gun Shows. Any other toys you want to put on, well it's your Wallet. My advice is stay with the National Match grade weapon, you can build it the way you want. Even have the barrel cut if you want but I think you will find that you wont want to. As for finding one try B&B guns, Turners or Fed Ord.

| Non-Commissioned Officer   | Re: M1a Socomii Thats it.National match,They can be tack drivers.Ammo should be reloads cause of xpns.I have a m14 rancher that is powerfull and good on smaller stuff.I would recommend getting an SKS,cheap,Accessories are fairly cheap and you can reload and buy a bulk of some noncorrosive ammo.My neighbors [3]have m1 matchx2,garand,paratrooper stock and reg carbine.fun.My one neighbor,whos a richmond police captain,has a 20cal.that fires some new hyper ammo that reportedly goes 4000fps!Thats fast!Good luck and shop with care. |
