Very very nice.......I am at fault for leaving mine bone stock for now. I have a spare mag pouch on the stock of mine as I despise carrying spare mags in a responder bag when oh dark thirty need arises. The ability too snag the rife with at least two magazines on it is what I was after in that effort.
My AR’s have the redi mag adapters for the same reason and my marine magnum Remington 870’s and Benelli M1’s have sidesaddle and stock socks too keep a usable amount of spares WITH the weapon 24/7. That is Weapons that are working tools versus the safe queens that don’t serve as duty guns for home and road trip security.
My next effort is too bring my SOCOM II with the friggin cheese grater rail systems back too SOCOM 16 mode. I figure an after market stock will fill that void and let me convert the weapon back too SOCOM II if such a unforeseen for now need should arise.
The SOCOM 16 is a very well made tool. BTW did you have head space issues with yours out of the box ?!?! Or were you just hawking brownells wares ........?:o) Creedmoor and Sinclair have some very good stuff as well for M1A / Garand family . And as the mouse gun has pretty much taken over the leg matches at Whittington I am looking for another Garand (or three) as that little 8 round battle rattle is the truck gun for me when traveling through a state that says no high capacity or detachable mags , pistol grips etc ..........:o)
A sleeper of a serious defense tool IMO and experience. I think Milehi had purchased or was planning on purchasing some surplus 30-06 from Greek military arsenals. I believe it was him commenting on that ammo being pretty good stuff !
M1A and Garands are good durable designs that will serve for millennium’s IMO.
Neither. I was just lamenting the complete fitted set of M14 armorer's gauges I swapped out some time ago. Just very neat mechanical works of art. Some of that stuff was dirt cheap ages ago, and I'd pick it up at gun shows when I was low on discretionary funds.
I still have a nice, disorganized, assortment of M1 gauges, like the rare clip timing gauge. As far as a "truck gun" goes, my Garand is a safe queen. It's a Springfield National Match, from the last lot of the last year of new-from-scratch production. After that, it was all rebuilds.
You know, it's nice to have a short, handy weapon with a great optical sight, and a round that speaks with authority. I guess that's the whole idea behind the "scout" rifle.
G'nad, let us know when your EBR is done, or when the Sig arrives, whichever comes first.
