I wanna go fast
So all summer I've been planning on an M1A pre-10/1. I love the Garand action and have wanted an M1A for a while. Thing is, it's going to run me just about broke to pull it off. It's going to eat money from my car/truck parts budget, and forget about affording ammo to shoot it any time soon. All that said I still want one, but I've been pondering today about maybe picking up a slightly cheaper soon to be banned item instead and putting the M1A off until I can escape MD for good. I can't make up my mind so I'm asking y'all. Front runners would be either:
-Sig 556 classic. Cool 551 looks and uses pmags. Ak ruggedness. Cash and Carry. Downside is I won't be able SBR it in MD.
-AK-74 wire folder. I'm building a 47 underfolder now, but couldn't hurt to have a 74 too. Cheap ammo. Expensive mags though. Regulated transfer.
Any thoughts, other suggestions?
Edit: fwiw, I considered a PTR91, but I hear they don't like commercial .308, and no FALs as I'd only want a para which =$$$.
