Love my m1a models. I have the scout and the socom II. I have ar platforms, but they feel really small to me. The m1a, or m14, just fits me better. Im just one guy living in the country, and wont be going into battle and lugging a bunch of equipment around, so the weight isnt an issue for me. Most i may ever have to battle is a pack of coyotes trying to eat my chickens. Which really can be handled with a 22 lr
I have two M1A's and I just love how hard people work at keeping this 60 year old rifle alive. As long as people don't expect too much from this rifle it's fantastic.
The people who hate on this gun do exactly what you say, they expect it to be a sniper. This gun is solid up to 300 yards, the 16" especially. I actually take mine hunting sometimes. Forward mounted Burris 2-7x and I get solid 1" groupings at 200 yards, which fits most of my sight lines in all but 2 greenfields on my property. It is a phenomenal rifle but it is not made for consistent 500 yard shots, it's a mid-range to short range BEAST though.
SEI makes a threaded barrel sleeve size of their flash suppressor, which has 5/8x24 on the outside for mounting cans. Also DC fs are available for their cans maybe surefire too. This is Easy to replace if you want to change the setup.
I have a Socom and I absolutely love it! It's heavy though so I've been considering switching the nice cherrywood stock out for an EBR Mod 0 chassis. This was an awesome video and gave me a lot of ideas for it.
The EBR stock is also quite heavy. There is nothing light when it comes to an M1A. I tried the Arcgangel stock and that is pretty good except all the weight is forward so humping around with it gets tedious after a while.
@@rauldiaz5315 The mod stock isn't much lighter than the wooden stock huh? Well that's quite disappointing to hear. I was hoping an EBR mod would make it at least a pound lighter and augment the cool factor somewhat.
@@jebbroham1776 Check out Garand thumb video which he goes in detail on it. My unit switched out our M-14 wooden stocks to the EBR stock and really didn't like the weight. It is an accurate stock but the armorer has to do it with experience or your accuracy is shit as well as if you clean it and take the stock off for any reason your back to square 1 on accuracy. They were our DMR rifle/ sniper spotter weapons and were good for that for sure.
The addition of an EBR trigger shoe will make shooting with that pistol grip so much better... consider putting it a light weight Blackfeather RS chassis stock system when imports resume later this year.
I just bought the scout rifle and I am having trouble inserting the magazines and locking them into place.. I have owned the mini 14 and I had no problem rocking them in.
@@calebwhite1999 I'm not sure. The tanker and SOCOM are basically the same rifle with minor changes. I'm pretty sure the upper shroud and pic mount will interchange.
Sweet my man that’s dope build I want one just dont like the Weight and length of this Rifle but it always been my dream since CoD4. Might make one with Eotech 16CQB
Achuster also had a death in the family and they have stopped making things and now you cant get the plugs. Also, arms isnt making the #18 mounts either. Just so much going poof recently
What did you do to take the heat off of your optic?? It's practically bolted to the barrel. I had a SA Tanker model. I had to remove the rail and cover it with a full heat shroud. It cooked a Bushnell holosight one day at the range. After that, I remodeled it into an open sight range rifle. I removed the rail and put a normal heat shroud on it, then installed a NM rear sight with shrouded aperture. I did a few other things to it before selling it. Rested, that rifle could could put a cloverleaf on paper at 150 yards with open sights. Later, I recut the stock to fit my hands and checkered the grip and foregrip in a wrap around pattern. It's one of the few firearms I've had over the years that I fully regret selling. Maybe one day the owner will sell it back to me. I hope he's reading. If you have it, you know. Black cherry stain. Red stained controls and lettering. Right-hand only grip. Vortex flash hider. Maybe one day.
Interestingly I have never had any issues with too much heat affecting my optics. I've run red dots, LPVOs and high powered scopes without issue. The M1A is a beautiful platform, truly one of my all time favorite rifles is my Mk14 Mod 0 clone. I'll hold onto that rifle until I pass it down to my kiddos. Glad to hear you have similar fond experiences with the platform, hope you can get that one or another like it some day!
@@JeremyShoots2A . I'm actually surprised considering that it is just a block of aluminium clamped around the barrel. When I originally bought my rifle used, even used it was $1100, it had a Tasco ProPoint on it. The first time I took it out, it melted the rubber overmould off of it. Twice, I burned myself on the rail itself even after I stopped using an optic. It is the one thing I have never liked about the modernized rifles.
Hows the accuracy with that mount clamped around the middle of the barrel? Bad bad idea there but hey they did name their company after the US armory in Springfield Mass. so they could take advantage of the notoriety of the M14/M1A and it's design origin.
I mean... It's a 16" gun. This one isn't meant for precision. To be honest the SOCOM is more of a fun rifle to play with than a performance based 20" variant.
Didn't like the Archangel CQB stock. If made the rifle platform even MORE nose heavy than stock. I prefer the balance of the standard SOCOM16 synthetic stock modified with pic rails at the 3 and 9 o'clock up front with a rear pic rail for optics.
Put it in a Sage EBR stock and a bipod. Schuster gas system, Sadlak scope mount, Badger Ordnance scope rings and good luck with the thread pitch changer…and then add your suppressor
28? 30 lbs?? The only thing that sucks about those stocks is the weight. They definitely NEED a bipod. That is the price paid for modernizing an older weapon though.
@@RonnieStanley-tc6vi as a 44 year old, I still run 3 miles in 19:12 I still go to the gym. Spent my life in the Marines….I’m used to weight and taking care of myself and even the rifle itself in an Eblerstock gunslinger 2 pack, it’s comfortable.
@@MountaintravelerEddie . What I'm saying is you take a 20 pound rifle loaded and the modernized stock, scope, rings, sling, and bipod add an extra ten pounds to it. Being fit has nothing to do with anything. I'm 48, live in the Appalachians, and bike 10 miles thought the mountains twice a week. I was in the Army. And, it means nothing to the extra ten pounds. All of the tacticool crap doesn't make it any more tactical. This is about an over weighted rifle, not a person's ability to carry it. And, I'm not not critical of the rifle. If anything, I'm jaded!
@@RonnieStanley-tc6vi hey Ronnie, it’s Eddie. My Mk-39 is 16.5 pounds, my M-21 is around 12.7 pounds (synthetic stock) the M14 DMR I have weighs around 14 pounds (yes it has a selector switch). This is just the standard weights of a big cartridge rifle. It’s a semi-auto, so you need the rigidity of the fiberglass stock at least, the wood just warps too much. I did the AT back in 96’, so I know you’re near the trail. I used to live in Connecticut and used to go up to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Mass and the Catskill mountains a lot, beautiful area. I’m now living in the mid-west because I don’t like the gun laws in those areas, plus I can’t shoot far on that side of the U.S.
Right now (12/3/2023) we have many examples of REAL life or death action as close as our TH-cam screen. Just look at the soldiers now fighting for their lives in Ukraine and Gaza and watch the news for other conflicts around the world. I have yet to see any Ukrainians with fancy rred dot gadgets or Israelis with that kind of crap. I saw Israelis with 40 year old Colt carbines with the old fiberglas handguards and one with an aluminum commando sliding stock, well worn. I am sure there are more. THere's nothing wrong with the M1A juat as it is. If the average fellow out there wants to LIVE through the coming travails, the FIRST thing that he needs to do is call on his own combat experience. Failing that, just rent another movie and continue the fantasy. Nine pound rifle, another three pounds of crap to hang on it. Oh yes, and don't forget to tape a few pairs of magazines together.
wow,,, so much weight and unneeded crap. Why put a silencer on a battle rifle? You have to shoot subsonic rounds to have it work. A light is a joke unless it's your house gun. Tell you what, carry that rifle on an uphill 1 mile walk and let's see how much shit you take off on the way. Something tells me those are your sponsers. KISS
First off the M-14 was Obsolete before it was even adopted. It's the pinicle of the M-1 Garand design. It was the solution that The Government arsenal came up with based on the "Last War" head up the ass mentality. This is why it's the shortest serving Rifle in US history. The AR-10 and FN-FAL were way better rifles. I wasted a lot of years on M-1 Garand's, M-1A's,M-14's and Ruger Mini-14's. Can you do it? Sure if you want to spend a lot of money on a heavy obsolete rifle. Honestly it's just not worth doing. Mine sits in the back of the Gun Safe and only comes out for bragging rights because that's what it is good at. Especially when you can build a really nice AR-10 with a lightweight 16" barrel for under $600 and the manual of arms is the same as the AR-15. The M-14 is best left as a foot note in US government head up the ass weapons history.
The AR-10 was finicky at the time. FAL was less accurate and even heavier than the M14. FALs didn’t field strip as easily as the M1A and changing stocks was better with the M1A. You can argue ARs are better now since they’ve been refined, and I would definitely choose an AR-10 over an m14 for DMR roles and such. But for a core battle rifle (especially survivalist gun) where simplicity is key, M1A all the way. Also, if you compare the specs with most AR-10s in the same price range, you’ll find their weights are not far off from each other with many AR-10s weighing more than the M1A, accuracy is usually better with the AR but relatively close in comparison, and modularity is roughly the same as far as possibility goes. The M1A will cost more, but it’s not impossible and is very capable. M1A is also such a vibe, AR-10s are boring in comparison. Also, any AR-10 under $800-$1000 is questionable for quality and honestly, wouldn’t trust my life with it.
You are very wrong. The only reason the M-14 got pulled from the Nam was the wooden stock didn’t last well in monsoon season. My SOCOM has a synthetic camouflage stock cutting weight and being weatherproof. The AR-15 is an inadequate fighting rifle and the AR-10 is bulky and heavier than the M1A SOCOM. Mine has been essentially 100% reliable during regular shooting for 8 years. I have yet to hear of an AR-10 that runs well consistently. But, that is the nice thing about gun ownership today. If you want to make your best weapon a safe queen, more power to you. I have other .308’s, but if I lose my home, the SOCOM will be coming with me.
@@robertgoodrich8953 it's you who is wrong. The M-14 was the rifle for the last War. The only reason why the M-14 is even still used is because they have so many of them still in mothballs. I own 2 M1A's and I'm not impressed with them so they live in my Gun Safe and only come out for range days for comparison testing. The Brownells Retro AR-10 with the brown furniture beats it in every category. The AR-10 beat the M-14 in every category back in the 1950's too! The AR-10 or FN-FAL should have been the US Service rifle but politics and fucked up DOD bullshit gave us the M-14. The Italian BM-59 was the better way to go for a Box fed Garand.
The AR-10 wasn’t refined like how it is today when it was up against the m-14. It had problems with constantly needing oil and was a finicky system at the time. That’s one of the reasons why they chose the m14 for war. You can definitely argue it’s capability now since it has been improved a lot, but there are qualities/features that m14 has that the ar-10 probably won’t ever have by design. One of em is simplicity/robustness. It’s a simple, proven, less maintenance needed gun. It has fewer parts and statistically has less failure points than the ar-10. M14 also has a more robust gas system that can go a while without cleaning and isn’t as ammo picky compared to the AR. You can make an AR less picky with ammo but 9/10 that’s done by over gassing the system to tighten tolerances which beats up parts faster. Depending on the role you want for it will depend on which gun is best. I wanted a bare bones, robust, battle rifle that can eat anything I give it, and just run with less maintenance (if oil wasn’t available) if needed. Felt like that m14 will always have that edge over the ar-10 in those categories. Plus, it’s such a vibe to shoot.
Great video and presentation - no b.s. conversation and specifics on products in a clear concise manner

I'll be honest, it's not intuitive and it definitely takes practice to be smooth. It's finding the perfect angle and then rocking it back into place.
Love that rifle
Do you have a parts list ?
I have a tanker. I actually prefer it. I do want to replace the upper shroud so I can install the SOCOM top rail.
Love the tanker!
Does the Tanker have interchangeable parts with the other M1A lines? I would love an old time look, with the upper shroud modularity of the SOCOM.
@@calebwhite1999 I'm not sure. The tanker and SOCOM are basically the same rifle with minor changes. I'm pretty sure the upper shroud and pic mount will interchange.
