well i finally made to purchases i have been waiting for the first is a springfield m1a ma9226 which is the l1a loaded

 

 

i also got a remington 700 sps .308win this is my starting point for which will be a longer build

 

 

and the other gun i picked up was a mossberg 817 bolt action 17hmr and i put a bsa sweet 17 scope on it. The optic is actually much better than i thought it was going to be.

 

 

now i need to get some time to break in my new toys

Love the M1A, would have went with walnut myself. That is until I banged the shit out of it and bought a synthetic substitute.

M1A is sexy.

I'm with you. M1A will be my next rifle. Enjoy!

 

You will have more fun with that 17HMR than you would think. It is a hoot. I bring my CZ Varmint in 17HM2 to Colliers Mills and have a blast.

Dude, bring the M1A to the 3Gun and I will bring my FAL, we'll go ironman on a few stages!!!!!!

Oh and congrats!!!

thanks guys..... shane if i make it to the next 3 gun i will be there

I know if you go you will be there but bring the rifle too

Nice lineup you have there. I am also a huge fan of the M14, let me know how you like the Springfield. I keep going back and forth between an M1A and a Garand.

Very nice, let me know if you want to meet up at SJSC.

Jimmy,

 

You know you really should own both, right?

I know, but getting it by my better half is the problem. All things in time .

Go to www.thecmp.org and get yourself a Garand for $600. I filled out the paperwork and had mine in about 2 1/2 months.

I don't know if you are reloading, but 30 '06 is a more forgiving round to load than 308 because of the lower pressures. Also, the CMP store has good Greek 30 '06 ball ammo in spam cans for cheaper than you will find decent 308 ammo. I bought 960 rounds of this for $450 and expect to have enough brass to last me indefinitely. The Garand is probably my most fun gun to shoot, and it is surprisingly accurate. You can worry about the $1500+ M14/M1A in the future.

 

If we can get together one of these times, I will gladly let you shoot my M1 Garand at Dix or Central Jersey.

An M1A is on the list to buy someday for me, but +1 what Lunker says on the M1 from CMP. They have tons of ammo, the 10 can limit per year is lifted (for now), they also got bayonets in, if you are into that, and rifle wise, have enough to sell for a good long while.
