Finally made a PSA purchase and I can't wait to get my hands on it. Ive always wanted an M1A/M-14. The history with Infantry brethren = priceless.
M1A SOCOM from PSA

Any advice on this rifle is appreciated.

Thanks.

Congrats.

Read up on the maintenance, opperation, etc and go have fun. Also, buy quality GI mags or checkmates.

You misspelled "hearing protection".

You're gonna like it. It's fun to shoot.

Be sure to redeem the SA rebate if you haven't already done so. It takes 8-12 weeks for delivery after it's approved.

I had one for some years. I tired to make it into something it’s not.

It won’t shoot sub MOA, adding a scope is a PITA and hearing protection is a
Must..

But man is it fun to shoot!

If you want better accuracy:

1. Replace stock with wood or fiberglass USGI $25-125
2. Shim gas system $20
3. Mine always shot better with lighter bullets 110-125gr than the heavier rounds.
4. I got MOA with 110gr bullets and h4198.

Does anyone have experience with the Vltor QDM-14 Railed Sling Mount, I would like to place an angled/vertical grip without altering or damaging the stock and I'm not wanting to spend $500-$1000 on a SAGE or VLTOR just yet.

Disregard my questions on the Vltor QDM-14. Great thought poorly executed. Its usable but more obtrusive and inconvenient than wanted. I removed the QDM portion and kept only the rail and swivel stud.


Below is the before picture with the X-14 Drum and QDM-14.
