Let`s see some M1A pics...

Springfield is selling the slotted handguards in brown and black. I think Fred's also had them. The only problem with the slotted handguards is if you fire a lot real fast. You can see the heatwaves shimmering off the barrel when you aim the rifle. I don't have that problem because I usually shot 5 or 10 and then wait for the shooting session to end. That's usually enough for the rifle to cool down. I dunno why I bought it, I think I was bored and hey, it's sorta FALish, since we can't have those in CA.
 
That's what I thought, Sactown.

Since one almost never sees slotted handguards on military-issue M14's these days.

I thought about one, but since I scoped mine, the barrel heat mirage would be a bit of a problem. Is kind of a neat touch, though, especially with the contrasting stainless steel barrel showing through.
 
Hee-hee! He said "M1A"

An M1A is an M1A is an M1A. Kinda like a copying machine is a Xerox. Or is it?

(Camouflaged, scoped rifle in the pic above is NOT an M1A. Armscorp M14NM. M1A is a registered trademark of Springfield, Inc.)
 
I need a new job quickly so I can afford my own M1A. I've seen the retail prices on the standard models, but what would be a realistic store price?
 
Damn, SLB2000? I think someone wants an HK product pretty bad. I dunno if they have a G36 conversion for the SLB2000, that would be cool.
 
Another problem with the slotted handgaurds is that they were found to be more brittle! Solid fiberglass (or even better, Fulton's new plastic ones) or walnut are the best, both in function and look.

Brrrrrr...........man that looks cold (but here in Kali, 60degress and you put on long johns). Good thing ya got gloves on otherwise when you change mags you could end up with the mag stuck to your bare hands!!
 
The Undead had been clawing at the doors all night.

But the last hold out, the Omega Man, kept the creatures at bay until daylight sent them scurrying back into their holes.

I have an M1A that was left out in the sun and /melted into a mini-14. Does that count?
 
M1A Supermatch
Max dimension Fajen NM stock
Other than the CA-legal neuterized muzzle thingy, a Turner NM sling, and lotsa BLO, nothing else has been added since it left SA Inc.

My match mule.
