Springfield Armory M1a?

[svandamme]

Thanks Jason,

the .45 brass is handy to know, already had that bolt greaser on my list. but if brass works, pefect, got that already !
Got ATE Plastilube, it was on the recommended list @ M14forums.com

With the long Easter weekend, now done shooting.
I'll spend my time taking it apart, and making a wooden jig to lay the rifle upside down in to take it out of the stock..
Then spend my time watching the Videos on maintenance, and read up on things...

I have to say, it took me a long time to get one, but now that i have it i understand :
Happiness IS a warm gun. My 1911 is fun, but this is WAY more fun.

My 1911 is fun, but this is WAY more fun.

Most fun you can have with your clothes on, anyway.


I took mine out yesterday and shot about 4 rounds through it at 255 m (279 yds) just for giggles (I was really there to shoot my carry pistol). It was the last four rounds of ammo that I had in a mag. Here's my impromptu target (a piece of fiberboard that was lying around:



The flyer on the right was the last shot I took, and it was all me. I let my sight picture shift right at the last second, and knew it when I shot. Including the flyer, the group is about 6.5". Excluding it, the three round group that I shot first was about 3.6". The irons on the M14 are awesome.

My guess, svandamme, is that you have officially begun an addiction.
