Long ago, I had a couple M1As and they are FUN!! You will dig shooting it.

Can't wait for your range report.

Interesting. When did they start checkering the front of the stock? I think I like that.

I have a Burris scout scope on mine. If you'd like to try before you buy maybe we can meet up at Owl Hollow some time, I'd be glad to let you shoot it.

The green does look pretty cool, went to the gun show today and saw a green one.

I'm like a kid after Christmas morning, I'm watching football but have the rifle in my lap

Well, how was she?

Very nice, pretty much handled how I imagined. Recoil's not too bad (definately not like shooting my .223). I swapped out the EoTech with my TriPower, a little less weight up top (not that it was a big difference). Didn't have any issues.

Next on my "to do" list is swap out the stocks. Thinking I'd like to go with a pistol grip. Vltor/Sage/Troy make some sweet rigs, at a price....

Overall I'm very pleased with it.
