Grats!

Sweet, which flavor? I have the Scout Squad and love it. No problem at all ringing steel target from 200 yards. You will love it. The gun kicks like a 223, which is to say not at all.

Nice. i picked up a loaded recently. Love it.

 

do us a favor and resize your pics... they are immense.

[s8n 14]

nice I've got one on my wish list. Probably the scout squad version. Where did you pick it up?

[The_Matrix 105]

Very Nice. Its on my buy list (the scout version). The problem is that I have a long buy list!

[Parker 213]

Very nice. Enjoy it!

It is a Loaded MA9222 Carbon Steel Barrel. My wife has already called dibbs on this one so my next one is a Scout Squad once I get the money. I got a steal at Action shooting supply in Haledon. Special deal just for me, $1400 cash out the door.

Story of how I wound up with it. It was my 4th time in the store with my wife and I was paying for some pistols he got for me. I had seen it hanging there and asked how much. He said that he was just going to list it online but world hold it for me for $1400 cash. My wife was not in a good mood that day but without asking her I said yes. Now I had just paid $1200 for our pistols. When we got back into the truck I expected to get into trouble. She turns to me and says I am really glad you bought that rifle. I kept looking at it and I loved the wood stock on it.

Not true. All M1A models are Jersey legal. Remember that you need two evil features to make it illegal. Since there is not a pistol grip (or bayonet lug, adjustable stock) the flash hider is the one allowed evil feature. My Scout Squad has a comp on it. Don't know about the other models though. If you turned an M1A with a flash hider into the Enhanced Battle Rifle style M14 (i.e. w/pistol grip) then a flash hider would need to be replaced by a comp.

At last, a M1a at last!

 

Very nice! I just picked up a walnut Scout a few months ago. Haven't had a chance to fire it yet.

[DevsAdvocate 112]

The only thing I don't like is that faux-wood plastic cover on the top... is that a new addition? Or was that how the rifle was always made? (Back when it was the M-14)

[lunker 274]

I never liked it either,but apparently it has been this way for a long time. I don'tknow aboutthe original M14's though.

[matt6669 71]

It's been standard for almost ever. The problem with the wood top handguard is when these guns were used originally in full-auto, the wood topguard would actually catch on fire. This is when they moved to the metal and or plastic top handguards.

 

If you come across a wood one, chances are it'll have burn marks on the inside of the handguard.

[axeman_g 128]

what matt said.

 

I like when guys paint them black on the wood. It seems to look nicer then the baby poop brown SA uses.

First walnut, then slotted fiberglass (early 60's), then solid fiberglass. There are a few depicted on the M14forum that show the fiberglass painted black with a heat resistant paint. It does look better than the poopy brown.

[mipafox 438]

Oh ****. That thing is beautiful.

 

You guys are really making me jealous. After a long hiatous, well over a year and maybe two, I am planning to purchase a number of firearms in the comming weeks. I'll post them for enjoyment One of them won't be here for about 3 months but I'll have pictures sooner

 

But M1A or SOCOM, I don't have the money for that now Very nice rifle.
