History of the Springfield M1A Rifle
[caption id="attachment_25" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Click To Enlarge M1A Rifle"][/caption] In the world or weapons, guns and rifles, certain variants remain among the favorites among civilians as well as armed forces. Such is the case of the Springfield M1A. Many people mistake the M1A for the M14 rifles. The M1A is actually the civilian approved version to the United States military version- the M14. Its design and manufacturing comes from Springfield Armory way back in 1974 and some of the M1A versions design and appearance resemble the M21 Sniper Weapon System. The M1A’s are semi-automatic rifles with no chances of being modified ...
Cool High Speed Video of an M1A Rifle Shooting

M1A Scout Rifle-What You Didn’t Know
[caption id="attachment_62" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Click M1a scout to enlarge"][/caption] So everybody is talking about the Scout version of the M1A. This new bloke is able to shoot 3-4” or better at 100 yards. The accuracy was so unbelievable that one of the Vietnam veterans once said that it is so accurate that it could “shoot the balls of a mosquito”. A big plus point is that the M1A Scout’s cleaner operating system is easy to use cause there is no direct gas impingement. This semi-automatic design is good for your target practice, security and of course for any kind of hunting. ...

Rusty’s Rags Gun Cloth Review
[caption id="attachment_432" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Click to enlarge"][/caption] Anyone who has owned a gun knows that one of most important factors in keeping a weapon shooting well is proper cleaning and maintenance. It’s just like almost any other piece of complex machinery – if it gets too dirty and doesn’t get cleaned, performance as a whole suffers. This is perhaps even more true for guns, as powder residue and sometimes bullet filings can clog up the works and can lead to problems. Rusty’s Rags is a company that produces specialized gun cleaning cloths used for firearms. Developed by an avid gun collector who ...
M1A SOCOM – Why does everyone want one?
[caption id="attachment_71" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="click to enlarge"][/caption] Those who were in the army want it. Those who hunt want it. So, what makes the M1A Socom rifle a great shooting device? There are two types of the M1A Socom rifles, which are the M1A Socom II and the M1A Socom 16. Based on the reviews done for the products, most people opt for the later. Technically, the M1A Socom is a 300-yard rifle, beyond that; you need to really have to calculate the drop. Though it is noticeably bulkier and heavier, its performance has a lot more to talk about rather than ...
