My Cheap M1A Quick Review

[jarhead714]

The stock is a POS and has got to go. It's too light making follow up shots difficult and flexes a lot under sling tension. Get a nice GI M14 stock and thank me later. Take some Krylon and go Woodland on that factory stock and put it away... forever. Truly, it's a horrible stock.

If you do not mind me asking how much are they selling for?

They WERE selling for $999.95. Turners had about 35 or so on sale a few weeks ago.

Good to know. I would like a wood stock just for looks.

Thanks I must have missed I get the E mail flyers from Turners.

The M 14 - M1a is one fine looking rifle. You need to buy the surplus wood stock even if you do not install it for a while.Somebody makes a wood hand guard , it was on the one i had and it is very handsome.
Enjoy the rifle.

Nice. My Socom has the same issue with loading. I can't load a full mag with the bolt forward.

Boyds makes a wooden handguard for the M1A/M14 style rifle. I got mine from Sarco, though they are now out of stock. But, the hand gaurds are only made in walnut, so if you get a birch stock it won't match.
My rifles with wooden handguards.

HA you gotta love crazy old Gramps. He kept handing me these standard cap mags and said "Here kid, you will need these some day." I miss him everyday.

Or just get the magblocks to stay legal.

It is not illegal if they were owned prior to 2000, and they are used in a featureless long gun. Stop spreading liberal fear and helping the anti's movement.

This afternoon I am going to a LGS to look at M1As. Not sure just yet as to which model I want though.

Standard or Loaded.

Loaded has a better barrel, sights and tuned trigger for a few bucks more than a standard. Other than a McMillan stock, this "Loaded" model served me well.

If you're only going to get one, get the Loaded model.
