Sorry all, and yes, I have read the
archives on these issues.
However, there doesn't seem to be a clear
concensus.
So, for those good and kind folks out there that don't mind sharing their wisdom with a dummy, I'll begin.
I hope to actually straighten out my tax disaster within the next few months and with that done, I am going to want to spend some (more) money on my M1A.
I think I am going to break down and get a Kreiger barrel. Folks ask me if I will get a stainless barrel, why would I want a stainless barrel? None of my M60 barrels were stainless, none of the issued M16s I carried were stainless, In fact, I have never owned or operated a stainless weapon and don't see any particular benefit. I know stainless steel simply Stains Less, rather than it being impervious to corrosion, therefore it requires maintenence and care though considerably less, but maintaining and caring for my arms is a pleasure not a burden.
So, Stainless Barrels are popular, this I know, I don't know why.
The good folks at Shepard Scopes promise me their scope will perform on the M1A. I've used their scopes before and I like 'em.
Comments?
Is there a fast-change scope mount for the M1A that is repeatable? Cost is not really a big concern, as I have no intention of ever selling of otherwise getting rid of this weapon and hope that it hands down well. I have none of my own, but I do have nephews and nieces.
Thanx in advance as always.
