Springfield National Match M1A
« on: January 11, 2012, 03:40:45 PM »
There is one happy man in my house today. I'm not sure why though....it's not very pretty, but it will kill a zombie or two....
I got him what he wanted. 6 groove 1 in 10 twist, 2 stage military trigger match tuned, glass bedded...blah, blah, blah.....
Next is the scope or optics, not sure what he wants yet, I am resisting the thermal imaging though!   8)

Beautiful rifle! Whenever I want to hold a nice piece of machinery, I'll take my M1-A out of the safe.

If this becomes a major marital issue I'd be glad to store it for him ... All in the interest of family relations and all you know  ;D

Long ago, in a land far, far from here I got to play with it's brother the M14 and free ammo from our base armory!

What a hoot!

Where does the line start to babysit?

I would not put Optics on it.
The NM is meant for iron sights out to 1000 yards +.
If he wants a scoped M1A get him the "White Feather next year.  ;D

I love the M-14/M1A.  I think it is underrated.

Had Springfield build a NM M1A on a Fulton Armor receiver some years ago.

It was a beauty too, but without the SS barrel....

First day I took it to the range, there was a squad of Marines doing range time with their M16s with a Gunny for a honcho.

He wandered over to check out the M1A and looked at it so longingly I offered to let  him shoot it.....which he accepted..

He shot off hand and I was watching with my spotting scope and he shot a group better than I just did from a sandbag front rest.  I was in awe.  

Honestly, I felt the right thing to do was to give it to him...they seemed made for each other.  I got better with it, but never nears as goos as that Gunny off hand.

Your man should be very pleased and is very lucky.  Well done, Red.

red, it is simply pure wood and metal.... BUT,...it is the Tim The Tool Man Taylor Rifle... complete with grunts,....As "ugly" as it is,....it is a work of art, and beauty to others, not unlike priceless artwork at the Met...

You are a kind and generous soul, to pass on a gift of such prestigious nature.

It is an M1A....

Zombie slayer, liberator, a true modern Minuteman's Rifle, and one to keep...

Very nice, with ALL the blah, blah, blah,.... ;) That's what makes it special... ;D
