The M1A, the SOCOMM or M-14 variant?<br />I saw the carbine, pristine, at a show for $500 and passed thinking it had to be a replica. In retrospect, I could shoot myself for not buying a replica at that price.Ed Bonderenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03724552853113809036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-82947622673264373562016-11-03T21:08:48.056-04:002016-11-03T21:08:48.056-04:00I figured you already had a Python in the collecti...I figured you already had a Python in the collection.<br /><br />Myself, you could get a pretty good Leica lens for that money.<br />Self expression or self protection.<br />Two different world views.Ducky's herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14608115001116619877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-22412773355551752212016-11-03T19:25:56.213-04:002016-11-03T19:25:56.213-04:00I am not a fan of the Garand.

It's a robust feeling platform, but I'll be putting the first rounds through it this weekend. Picked up a moderately priced scope and riser to try with it as well.<br /><br />Beware the AR, even more so than the AK...it's like a Barbie doll for men...you can almost never be done accessorizing. I've given Magpul a lot of $$!<br /><br />- CICIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07261660740601698500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481053445293173582.post-31074142404788294362016-11-03T06:30:48.625-04:002016-11-03T06:30:48.625-04:00I've had a WASR10 (AK47 as you know) for years...I've had a WASR10 (AK47 as you know) for years.

I resisted the urge to drop a similar number on a Springfield M1A SOCOM....but common sense prevailed and I picked up a nice CETME 308. So Santa came early for me as well...or rather, to the Nations Gun Show last month.<br /><br />- CICIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07261660740601698500noreply@blogger.com
