I've noticed that no one seems to be talking about Springfield's latest rifle- the Socom 2. No one seems to be too excited about it. Last year when the Socom 16 came out, it was the hot, hard to find ticket. But now, when I look around gunbroker and davidson's, I see a glut of Socoms, not really selling, while the other models, especially Scouts, are in short supply. Davidson's has "99+" Socom 16's in stock. They almost always have 0 standard and loaded models, because they apparently sell them rather quickly.
Am I the only one who thinks the demand for a short barrelled M1A might not be as great as SA originally thought? I'm not knocking the gun, or the people who bought them, but I tend to think that a lot of M1A fans are traditionalists...which makes me think that the Socom 2 is going to be as well recieved as a fart in church.
