Due to the recent gains of the AR Market, Springfield Armory Has decided to introduce a new line into their current catalog. This new item is geared towards capturing those people who want the .308(7.62x51) and yet still retain the 'old school feel' of the venerable M-14. The secondary sight also will assist the Extreme Long Ranged Shots. SA also went on to say, that this weapons platform is also geared towrds those who want the AR10 platform with a less maintenance-needed battle rifle.. http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/1stsgt/shuny.gif http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/1stsgt/good.gif http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/1stsgt/leather.gif http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/1stsgt/wall.gif http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/1stsgt/goodsights.gif http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c58/1stsgt/long.gif |
+1 People like to make a big deal out of it... I'd put either of mine up against a forged receiver. We'd wear out GI barrels before we wore out either type of receiver! |
Springfield has produced some lemons, and nobody is going to argue that, but EVERY company that produces a product in the volume that Springfield produces M1A will have a certain percentage that leave the factory as lemons-- it's an unfortunate FACT. Another FACT is that Springfield will fix their lemon FREE OF CHARGE for as long as the rifle exists, postage paid both ways, and if they can't fix it they will replace it, all with a smile and friendly service. Try that with GM... or Glock. Another FACT that anything you do to a cast receiver that will make it fail will most likely make a forged receiver fail as well. There are just a few snobs who must turn their nose up at anything not forged, for whatever reason. |
