| I have a friend with an older springfield M1A. Sage stock is on the way. Smith enterprise scope mount. Was wanting to know if any varient of the vortex will affect accuracy one way or another. The original seems to work allright. However, I've heard a minor increase in accuracy might be seen. Is it worth upgrading for a "precision" M1A? Any thoughts would be welcome, did a search in the M14 forum and not seeing much on it, other than people have them. |

It depends on whether you want it really for it to be worth it. As far as improving the accuracy, well if it's the direct connect version and not the castle nut version then I think it does. It seems it did help on my accurized M1A, and I would say that because I think since it does eliminate the castle nut and older style connection to the barrel by threading directly onto the barrel threads for the castle nut and lessen the interference between the two giving better barrel harmonics and the aligning of the gases may do a little too. How much if any, who knows. I had pretty much all the right accuracy tuning done to my M1A chromelined around the same time and changed out key parts myself around the same time, but my once standard did go from a 2 1/2 moa to an average 1 moa now and I know it's capable of better. How much came from the DC Vortex, who knows, but besides that it also shorten the length by about 1 3/8 inches, gives a much less complicated attachment to the barrel getting rid of the need for a pair of castle nut pliers anymore and I'd say is better quality than the usgi and more durable if that helps.
