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)

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.
