I finally got out to the range yesterday. (Sat.) Fit and finish are great. All parts are new GI, new walnut stock, shipped with 4 clips. The roll stamp is just as the original with a bigger serial number. As shipped from the factory, it was zeroed in using the windage knob instead of the front sight (pet peeve). So I started by zeroing in at 100 yards with UMC 150 gr .30-06 off the bench. For groups I had to shoot series of 4 shot sets. I would have like to have shot 5 shot sets, but what can you do with an 8 shot weapon that you can not top off. With the course of the day I shot 10 sets of 4 shots. smallest was a 1 inch largest was 2.5 inches 5 groups hovered around 1.5 inches. For a battle rifle with battle sights (non national match, which I might add latter) and battle trigger, that is not too bad. I have some 150 gr Sierra Matchkings and some IMR 4064 I will put to use to see if this improves any. Thanks guys. |

My local gun shop had one but the reciever did not have "Springfield Armory" on it like the ones did back in the late 80's. According to his information, Springfield is going to start making the M-1 with their name on the reciever, does anyone know if this is true? He said they won't be available until May/June ?? Price will be about $750-$800. |
