[corelokt]

The wait is over......I got to go shooting this weekend for sure






And thanks for all the advice on scopes, rings and mounts.

Puuuurdy! Congrats!!!!!

 

[sandeman]

good looking piece of hardware!

Very nice. One of those is on my need-to-get list prior to October 1...assuming I get a job in time. Entry level SAP/SQL Admin positions are hard to come by atm.

Very Nice! I'd like to get something like this as well, but have never shot one. A friend who has something similar loves his though.

 

[Yoshi]

Nice! Is that a Standard or Loaded?

 

[Vile Shadow]

I'm glad that's on the banned list. That sure is scary looking.

Congrats! My 20 round S.A. magazines came in two days ago... its a shame I'll have to wait another 2 months for my SOCOM 16 to clear :\ Lucky you get to shoot yours this weekend!

I'll own one of these before the end of the summer if I can stop spending money on my car and a truck. Someone should get ahold of Springfield and try and get a MD preban group buy going or something.

I think they are paying attention at least. They shipped my 4 20 round mags in about 4-5 days after placing the order. I know these have been back ordered with some of the larger online retailers.

Its the standard. I kind of wish I had the walnut stock but the black is looks ok.

 

[HTArms]

It looks GREAT!

Did anyone who owns one with a wood stock put some kind of a topcoat on it? Like a varnish or shellac?

Picked up my standard w/walnut stock this morning. If I do anything to the stock I would just oil it like my garand stocks

What did they do on military issue m-14's? That's what I want to do with mine when I get it.

 

[Dave M]

Congrats that is a great looking rifle.

If you don't mind, what optic mounts did you use? And did you like them? And just for fun: what is your optics setup?

She looks great!

I use Boiled Linseed Oil on my Walnut M1A Stock as well as other Milsurp Weapons. Two coats Works nicely .Wipe on one coat let stand 1-2 hours wipe off any excess ...wait overnight , Repeat for second coat, works well for Me!

I've seen people say they used Tung oil and others say they used linseed oil. So I don't know for sure. Maybe someone else cann chime in. I used BLO on my garands.
