- this is my first upload in a while. today, I'm going over my M1a Scout. it's had a lot of customization done, and I hope some of the products appeal to the people who see them. this is the most modern take on the m1a I can make with functional, ergonomic, and accuracy upgrades, all being the primary focus. I can start uploading videos in other areas of interest as well, but so far, this has been a very m14 heavy channel. I just learned I have a few subscribers, and whether that was accidental or I just managed to reach a few people, I'd like to say thank you. no part of me expected to see that, and it's a huge honor to make content that was interesting to more than just me. I'll try to watch the comments to answer any questions. I have been out of the loop on the gun industry for a while since my last uploads, but I'm getting back into it, and more build reviews will come. this is a one-take sort of video as I have no formatting experience, and this is all filmed on a phone, so forgive the "amature" production value. I hope that isn't too off-putting. here's the list of parts on this rifle in case you missed it in the video;
rifle- springfield armory scout squad m1a
scope- primary arms 3x prism slx scope
mount- cogburnarsenal m14/m1garand mount
magazine release, piston, guide rod, bolt release- sadlak industries
magazines- csspec 30rd m14 magazines
stock- usgi fiberglass stock with modifications shown in previous videos
sling- hogsaddle ss loop sling
trigger upgrade and flash hider- Smith enterprise Inc.
Would love to see some shooting/range footage with this rifle
Just ordered the mount. Thanks for the vid.
Thank you so much for this video and talking about the magazines and all the other things.
Am getting a scout squad very soon and this is exactly how I want to set mine up. Thanks a ton for the vid brother
Great video. Keep it up.
So far for me the only magazine that feeds steel cased 308 reliably is the CSSPECS m14 mag. I would like to see them produce a 20 round mag. As far as looks go, i think 20's look good on traditional stocks and 30's go with pistol grips. Good video!
The cmi 25rd magazines are the only ones who ever came close to being as good. I have a few and they havent failed me yet but the cmi magazines change the game
Checkmate mags are the best
This is amazing! I love the idea of having magnification and still being able to use the stripper clips. Check out the Delta 14 Chassis system for the M1A. Pretty cool.
I've seen those. I really like them, ive just stuck with the traditional feeling ones out of preference
Very nice M1A 👍. If they would extend that mount rearward some it could work with the 5x.
I just mounted mine along with the low cantilever spacer. Much better eyebox and I'm right at 2" sight height
How's the eye relief on that PA mounted as such? I Have one on a carry handle rifle love the scope but I keep stock 2 postions shorter then normal. Been thanking of this optic setup for my 7.62 m1
The M1A is a boat anchor. I have 3. Still no boat…
Hey this is a great video, ive been looking for a video about this mount for more than a year. Can you please cover how it sighted in? I know cogburn says some of the acss features wont work the way primary arms intends
Thanks for sharing. Traditionally I’m used to the ar platform since it was something familiar when I was in the service. I understand the sentiment tho.
I was wondering if you had any knowledge of that prism optic would be compatible with m1a tanker from Springfield? I’m really interested in getting this type of weapon platform.
Edit: (thanks in advance)
Have you had any luck in finding information on the PA prism mount for your M1A you mentioned 6 months ago?
That's really cool. I love those PA prisms. One question - after a lot of shooting does the glass get dirty from ejection port gas?
I wish they made a 25 round curved mag..
This video has me doing a deep dive into the prism optics. A majority of the videos I’m seeing by have the optic mounted on an AR-15. How is the optic holding up on this gun and is it holding zero?
Were did you get the mags 😊
How is your cheek weld in the standing sitting in prone position with that scope mount height? I really like your setup and may try something similar but I don't want to spend too much money and then find out that I can't get a good cheek weld or eye relief only after I've already installed it.
Hey did you have any issues with the PA 5X?
Very cool...I wish they would now come up with 45 degree offset backup sights for this type setup...
You could possibly run a scout rail with an offset red dot but this is a pretty old platform to have that level of adaptability. The ar15 kicks the hell out of the m14 in that regard. Im a huge fan of the ar, i just chose the m1a out of preference. Its nothing to do with the stuff most m1a owners like to spout out about, just a love for the rifle.
Do they make it for the mini 14 ? I want to collect every one from the m1 grand to the mini 14 and every member of this rifles family in between
Would that product work on a bm-59?
Night vision. Yeah sure that would be cool. However with a good pic rail i just want to add off set sights and maybe co-witnessed iron sights.
I tried the cogburn arsenal set up with PA 3x just like yours but the eye relief for me was shit and when I thought about sacrificing either stripper clip feed ir iron sights i decided id rather have the iron sights so i got the rail that mounts where the stripper clips go and put a PA GLX 2x on it. The rail has a "U" type channel that lets you use the irons under the optic.
