M-21 tactical / M-25/M1A Hathcock commemorative
- Thread starter Emwonae

Compared to your NM M1A, the M-21 adds only a little bit (but a good chunk in cost), a Douglas, Hart, or Krieger Premium heavy barrel, and that adjustable comb stock. Your NM M1A already has a medium-weight match barrel, match sights, and clean trigger. As compared to the Super Match M1A, I don't know if the M-21 has a rear-lugged receiver, they don't say on their website. If your NM M1A is a good shooter, you could add a Brookfield, Smith, ARMS, or GG&G scope mount, a cheekpad or comb riser, your choice of scope, and save some coin. Especially if you study up on how the military M21 was configured. It's what I did with my Armscorp M14NM.

The difference is major $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
The M21's do have a lugged reciever, the Super match also, and the Supposed Hathcock rig.
The rifle, ( as I understand it), will be in a McMillan stock, Krieger barreled, and marine tex bedding, as opposed to the standard crappola bisonite,,,,,,,,which is their standard fare.............
And Hathcock's name somwhere on the piece..........
Hopefully, part of the $3,500+ cost will go to his wife, and family..............
Because you can build a similar piece BETTER for several $$$$$$$$ less............

Why not just go out and buy Gunny Hathcock's favorite pistol, the Glock 21, and have it engraved? Lots simpler adn a heck of a lot less expensive.
The only other info I can give about the Hathcock is that Sprinfield guarantee's 1/2MOA, which is pretty good comming from an MIA. But is the price worth it, who knows! If I could afford it, I'd buy it. I know I could save some money and have more fun puting it together, but I think guarantee would be worth the extra. It's hard making an autoloader that accurate, not to mention the time invested.
I've heard a few people make reference to this model as an M25. True?
