Title: Got my M1A
Post by: oldgraygeek on May 04, 2013, 02:10:03 AM: Brand new M1A Scout Squad, model AA9126 with a black composite stock.
Only $1499. They quoted me $1900 when I ordered it, so I must say Targetmaster treated me well.

Post by: oldgraygeek on May 04, 2013, 01:35:41 PM: Thanks all! Monday is doubtful: gotta work, and geek.
I mailed in an order to Springfield for five 20-round magazines using the coupon / order form that came with the rifle, and just (5 minutes ago) ordered two more from Cheaper Than Dirt. If Springfield doesn't come through, it's good to know other sources are coming back online.

I think I'm going to be at Ommelanden tomorrow morning when they open up.

I'm still waiting for that finger biting Garand from CMP. 70+ days. Sort of like NCC.
Hey....you don't look at all like Dilbert.....

Great rifle. Wish I had one.

The Springfield Armory coupon hasn't gone into the mailbox yet, so I'm interested...

(Bolt locked back, empty chamber, full 20-rd. magazine, safety on).

Title: Re: Got my M1A
Post by: Condition 1 on May 10, 2013, 11:47:13 AM: This rifle is tempting me, keep thinking about it everyday.... I am very interested in the SOCOM 16.
Title: Re: Got my M1A
Post by: oldgraygeek on May 18, 2013, 07:18:47 PM: And... five more 20-rd. magazines showed up from Springfield Armory, so now I have nine of them.
Just in time for Ommelanden tomorrow morning.

Post by: Adrian on May 29, 2013, 12:30:00 PM: Nice!
Title: Re: Got my M1A
Post by: oldgraygeek on May 31, 2013, 01:25:18 AM: And... now, it's up to eleven, with two more 20-round magazines arriving today. I need to buy more .308 ammunition.

If I make it an even dozen, plus the silly 10-round mag that Springfield Armory insulted the new rifle with, I'll be able to load 250 rounds into magazines. Unless Die Hard 6 happens on my block, that ought to be adequate.

Or, maybe I'll work my way up to twenty-five standard capacity magazines to load 500 rounds... and set the 10-rounder aside to sell if the state passes magazine size limits.

Post by: JOET on May 31, 2013, 02:25:41 AM: Have you fired that thing yet?????? if so, how about a range report...if not, take day off next week and go with us..
