Walnut stock ?I am curious how the Rock-Ola compares to the Springfield. I have the Springfield in the M1A Socom16 and really like it. Just be very sure to use hearing protection as the muzzle brake makes it very, very loud.

how's the parallax on that glass? that thing looks like a long ways away from your face, unless you want to eat brass.
Brass flies forward and to the right, landing about 5 foot forward and three feet right in a pretty tight pile. The scope is a 3x7 Burris pistol scope and the eye relief is barely far enough out for me. It works well out to around 150 yards, and maybe 200 with better ammo.how's the parallax on that glass? that thing looks like a long ways away from your face, unless you want to eat brass.
pistol scope! i never would have thought of that. that is a great solution!Brass flies forward and to the right, landing about 5 foot forward and three feet right in a pretty tight pile.

when did they do away with the bear clips on the old M1's? wish our funeral detail rifles had an external magazine, instead of the thumb-rippers...I have this with the walnut stock she slings brass , picking up afterwards is fun
that sounds about right. it wouldn't make sense to call the civilian version of the M14 an M14-A. better call it an M1A. hahaha. i'll stick to my modern guns.Forgive me if I have the history mixed up the garand stopped production in the late 50’s . I believe then in 1957-1958 the M-14 was designed with it being adapted into the services in the mid 60’s
the M1A is a civilian copy of the M14 — designed by Springfield for the U.S. military. Mid sixties to mid eighties then stated production again
The M-14 replaced the M1 Garand as the standard issue rifle for American troops from 1959 to 1964.then the M-16
Edited for clarity
I agree.Learned to hunt with a single shot 20ga Mossberg and a single shot .22. Still hunt and shoot with the one shot / one kill mentality. I'm amazed at the guys blasting away with mag dumps that seem to be common with the younger generation. 30 round mag will leave more carcasses than you'd care dress and skin...
I agree.
You only shoot one at the time.
It is a nice backup to have a shot or three in backup though.
There may be a branch or twig you do not see, at least in our terrain.
Here we have very strict rules.They started the hunter safety courses when i was 14. Went to shoot trap clays as part of it. Guys with auto loaders and pumps laughed at my old shotgun till I got to shoot. Clays fly the same as Quail or Woodcock, when they change direction after the flush they stall for a second ...
I traded a M1 Gatand for the Springfield M1A1. It used to be a take to range gun when ammo was cheaper . After it’s all said and done the M1 was more accurate I regret trading .Learned to hunt with a single shot 20ga Mossberg and a single shot .22.

Here it is illegal to hunt with anything not driven by gunpowder.I hunt these days with a crossbow quite often and only take two arrows with me. Never needed but one so far. Last year during gun season I started the season with one box of shells, 20 rounds. I used 10 at the range, just because I like to practice. I had 5 of the other ten left at the end of the season and took 5 deer with the other five rounds. Practice is key, if you want to be successful.
That seems odd, but in the right hands a firearm is very efficient at its job. What game are you allowed to hunt there? I have never thought much about hunting in that part of the world but there are some bigger animals there.Here it is illegal to hunt with anything not driven by gunpowder.

Much like in Sweden then. A few years ago, against the protests of the police authority, we were given the opportunity to use semi-automatic weapons such as the AR-15, but with restrictions on how many cartridges you can have in the magazine when hunting (see the quote below). During "practice shooting", magazines of any size may be used, loaded with an unlimited number of cartridges. Taken from the Swedish Hunters' Association's website:Here we have very strict rules.
On the verge of ridiculous at times.
But the yearly certification is not on the ridiculous side, in my mind at least.
