I thought a socom ii 16 is supposed to have a rail and synthetic stock, the guy I got this from claims to have purchased it like this. Anybody know what kind of stock this is?

I shot it today and the sights were pretty dead on. I had some trouble with a few of my old reloads, and one of the magazines it came with was fucked and wouldn't feed properly. Aside from that it's fun as fuck to shoot. I just don't understand why someone would take this out of the nice original stock and put it in this beat ass one.

Just now saw your rcvr said
>M1A
well, looks like you got a bunch of mismashed parts there. Stock is IDK- look for a cartouche
trigger group is TRW - Thompson I think.
Bolt is commercial SA because its stamped as such, USGI didnt have manuf letters stamped into it iirc.
your feedramp has been dremeled into a single ramp and polished, or that barrel isnt timed right..... and I dont think a SOCOM16 will fit into a surplus stock correctly....

look for marks near the butt on this side shown.
should be about halfinch by halfinch

>>29483869

It has the trademark symbol behind the springfield armory indicating it is a commercial model, bot usgi

So, I payed 950 for this. How bad did I fuck up? Any anons on here with M1As on here that can give some insight about this rifle and the m1a in general that would be appreciated. It's my first one

>So, I payed 950 for this.
shoulda bought a new one for $100 more. you dun goofd. Socom16's are crap due to proprietary parts. and to top it off, you got a ban model.

>>29484114
Stock manufacturer can be indentified by a letter stamped in a circle underneath the buttplate if you remove it

>>29484133
Well that's depressing. No markings on the stock anywhere... So should I keep or sell this thing?

its your decision, dont let anyone sway you.

that being said, shoot it and see how it does. My guess is the guy parted the tuned trigger pack and stock out to grub more monies.

>>29484379
That's what I'm thinking too. What a fucking fag. I ordered a few magazines for it and I'm going to take it out again in a few days.

>>29484437
show me that feedramp in better lighting. shit dont look right.

Sorry for potato tier photos, my Note 3 broke a few days back and now I'm on some bullshit backup garbage. There are def 2 feed sides, and the point between those two is about 6 oclock.

>>29484505
ok thats better.

I guess those look about right, Id double check online though on google images, he may have made the chamber feedramp a bit larger, thereby giving less chamber support.

And dont shoot reloads in that gun. It needs a very specific burn rate powder, or you will bend the op rod. IMR4895 +-100 or something, idk exactly what it was off the top of my head.

Fair enough, anon, I appreciate the input. I'll stop and get some factory ammo before I take it out again. I'll also look into that chamber as well. Is replacing the commercial grade bolt to a usgi something I should consider?
