anybody ever impulse bought a springfield m1a and then shortly

>>35047108

no never

>>35047108
If you wanna sell it, how much?

>>35047108

I've been thoroughly pleased with my M1A, desu.

Slightly regretted the M&P Shield, since I don't have a use for it currently.

I somewhat regret my Mossberg shockwave because I realize it has ABSOLUTELY no practical purpose, but it still a retarded and fun annoying toy. Much like a desert eagle I expect.

>>35047132
oh yeah? what about the m1a do you like?

I bought a zastava pap m92 the night before the election. I regretted it before it even showed up at my FFL.

>>35047178
>zastava
yeah I'd regret it too

>>35047108
i own a remington 742. i shouldn't own a remington 742.

>>35047203
For what it's worth, those things are better AK pistols than the dracos. It's just a pointless gun.

>>35047213
Dog, why not? You can find em for like $300, which is stupid for a semi auto 30-06

>>35047251
i bought it for $500 thinking it was an older gun. the guy who sold it to me said his grandfather bought it told me the wrong date he got it; off by over decade. that's what i get for buying a rifle off a tweaker. now i have a rifle i thought was going to be curios and relic by now. only i have to wait another 10 years before i get that opportunity.

>>35047238
After I put a folding brace and cone flash hider on it it became my favorite AK.

>>35047156
Not him but I have a M1A scout squad, Steyr FAL and a Greek import G3. out of all three I like the M1A the most for its shorter length, last round bolt hold open, amazing trigger, effective brake and superior peep sights with a thin front blade.

I've got a sporterized Argentine Mauser "rechambered" for .308 that I bought before I knew shit about guns. It was only a hundred bucks but it's so shit i dont even try to shoot it for fear of it catastrophically failing.

>>35047277
Wow what a moron

>>35047108
Nope. All my gun purchases have been informed decisions.

>>35047238
The draco is an un-monkeyed-with AK with a chrome-lined barrel, what the fuck are you talking about?

>>35047139
Put a Mesa adapter and a tail hook 2 brace on the shockwave. Won't change its legal status but will make it a lot more useful.

>>35047108
bought a Tavor and first range trip regretted the decision.

I bought an LC9 soon after they came out and fucking hated it. Never felt a shittier trigger on any gun, even cheap SNS. It was also physically painful to shoot. My Taurus Curve had a better trigger. I sold it at a massive loss and don't regret it for one second, every moment I had that turd in my possession pissed me off.

Lmao I just got an M14 today. I fucking love it, only gun I regret buyong was an SKS

>>35047108
dont regret getting a m1a

though, i'll say, it's heavy and regular maintenance is a nuisance

>>35052223
Without question my SLR104FR (AK-74M)

>>35047139
They're like $300 that's not even half enough to begin regretting.

>>35047108
How in the fuck can you afford to impulse buy a $1600 gun?

>>35053061
Credit card most likely

>>35053061
Borrow it for a bit and rob a bank.

>>35047108
I bought a M1A Scout Squad and for awhile I kind of felt ashamed that I spent that much on a gun.

Not OP but I just withdrew the $1200 from the bank and met the seller over the weekend. I'm happy with it.

>cast receiver

I have a Marlin model 60 I hardly ever shoot. I wanted a .22 to blow ammo with. It's not that fun of a gun. I'd rather have a bolt .22.
It was cheap, tho.

>>35053320
Really? I only find appeal in a .22 plinker if it is automatic. Though I would kill for a .22 H&R revolver.

>>35053061
>How in the fuck can you afford to impulse buy a $1600 gun?

Why aren't you keeping an emergency $3000?

>>35047108
Yes but I bought the cheap Norinco clone with the pinned to 5 rounds maple mags. It suck balls and QC is about what you expect but at least I'm not out much money.

>>35047108
Mine is also a /k/onfession. I bought an AR right before the last election thinking for sure that Hillary was going to win, payed over a grand for some faux Gucci AR that turned out not to even work. Still haven't gotten it fixed. That was also my first gun. Just really, really bad luck, like unbelievably bad luck honestly

>>35052223
the AR with the long STANAG-lookinh magazine

>>35047108
Yeah I've posted like 9 times on here about buying one while drunk and all the work I had to do just to get it to shoot like 1.5 MOA.

>>35047108
>regret buying a gun
No

>>35053061
It's called income, bud.

Springfield? Sorry I've never heard of a reputable company by that name.

I bought a Baikal MP155 something like 24 months ago, i deeply regret that decision even today.

You'd think after the almost unkillable MP153 they would have done better ? fuck no they didn't...

It can't even cycle a medium 24g birdshot 12/70 so i'm left with 1000 fine shell that won't cycle because the 12/89 version i own is finnicky as fuck, can't even sold, no fucking one want it, why i had to be stuck in France god damnit ?!

Plus blueing is dying so fast loading a shell damage it, cleaning it too, i took a picture with my potato so you can try to see too...

>>35047139
I'll never understand why people have duplicate, slightly modified versions of same rifle.

Any particular reason? I want an SKS someday but I always have other plans coming first.

>>35053004
Man, what I would give for another shot with a .50 BMG.

>>35053320
Is it at least reliable? Always great missed things about the model 60.

>>35050781
This. Never bought a random gun, ever.

OP i own a SA M1A scout squad. Love it. Never had a problem with it, and i shoot steel targets on irons out to 800 yds with ease. Thing is awesome.

>>35053309
If you can honestly tell the difference between a cast and forged receiver id love to see it. Just saying. Never had probelms with my cast receiver.

>>35047178
LOL. Anyone who buys a PAPshit is a fuckgin retard. Serbs thoroughly fucked over clueless American idiots with that garbage.

Get an original parts kit, replace the barrel if you have to and put a NoDak receiver on it. Great rifle.

>>35048484

I have National Match M1A which is hands down my favorite fucking rifle, but I have been itched to get a scout model and tactical it the fuck out in some EBR fashion just for fucking shit up & giggles.

Not that I have any dog in this fight, but those sort of tool marks are standard for Garand-style receivers. Bitching about internal marks on non-bearing surfaces on CZ is pretty stupid too. You want to see fucking awful machining marks, take a look at some of my broomhandle Mauser parts.

On the bright side, I'm picking up a S&W shield in 9mm later this year.
Better for the small amount of uses I actually would want a gun for.
Cheaper ammo.

Least I got to have the "I'm a gunowner" chat with my family.

Quick question: I love the aesthetics of the m14 style rifle and it's action but I shot a mini 14 and I absolutely hated the feel of the recoil. The weird bounce bugged the crap out of me. So is the m14 similar in that regard and do you get used to the weird recoil eventually?

>>35055504
how poor are you that you're actually butthurt about this...lowers are like $30-$50....

Bought a PSL... your better of with a moist nugger

>>35055564
$60
I'll still make it into a rifle/pistol, but there isn't a ton of space in my apartment

>>35055270
Literally nothing in my collection that I posted is anywhere near a duplicate.

>>35048740
Unbastardized they are a thing of beauty. 7.65 argentine is tough to find but it shoots like .308 and they were actually built by DWM so the action is smooth as glass.

>>35055771
two ARs?

>>35055534
it fires more powerful cartridge
so it logical to assume that it would be owrse

>>35055976
Yeah, an SPR and a carbine in different calibers

>>35055476

To a degree you are correct, but if I can pull 1 moa or better groups with my m70 or my old savage 10 McMil then I should be able to do them with an m1a NM as well should I not?

The fact I constantly go groups larger than 1.3 Moa with this weapon disappointed me seeing what I could do with the bolt guns.


There is literally 40 years of people trying to un fuck this rifle to back this claim up. The US army spend millions of dollars trying to make the m14 shoot sub moa, and the only way to do it is a shit tone of fine tuning and upgrades.
And even then maintaining its accuracy is costly.

8/10 bait made me reply.

>>35056496
The M14 doesn't fit in the precision rifle mold. It's a battle rifle. Shoot it open sights with a standard barrel and cheap M80 ball. Take it innawoods, shoot some steel, shoot some hogs.

Only right way is a 60s USGI style build or an 18" bush carbine, open sights all the way.

>>35056496
You can't compare bolt guns any semi-auto when it comes to accuracy, you will dump significant amounts of cash into a semi-auto to do what nearly any bolt action can do at a quarter the price.

I have an M1A Scout Squad and I'm quite happy with it, 2 inch groups at 100 yards is enough for me with a semi-auto I didn't dump a bunch of money into

If I wanted to hunt something from really far away and only had one shot to get the job done I'd take a bolt action, but 99% of people have no need for multiple rounds on a target 800 yards away.

It's not like you'll be able to calculate ballistics and down a herd of elk in 5 rapid shots with your m1a anyhow.

>>35056511

>The M14 doesn't fit in the precision rifle mold.

Yep, thank you for agreeing with my argument.

>>35056512
You can't compare bolt guns any semi-auto when it comes to accuracy,

That was true 15 years ago , now a days you can build an accurate AR for about as much as an accurate bolt gun, there are many many forums about it.

This is a buyers remorse thread. I felt remorse because the weapon did not live up to my exceptions for said weapon.

I , as many other had, heard the m1a nm was a great shooter capable of Sub MOA out the box , many folks swore by it, Come to find out they were full or shit or neglected to say how much effort they threw at it.


>It's not like you'll be able to calculate ballistics and down a herd of elk in 5 rapid shots with your m1a anyhow.

.... Why did you even bother typing that up? I didn't mention anything about hunting, or about rapid fire on target. For all you know I could have been taking a min between each shots writing out my POA/POI and documenting my MV for that given load.

Oh wait, people don't do that sorta thing when measuring accuracy of a rifle.

Heading to the range with mine in a bit, figure I'll still love it just like last time

in cali tryna get one buy one, trying to make it like the one from Highschool of The Dead, i cant find one with an OD Stock, and apparently i have to buy a cucked version too, think its just a problem with the muzzle brake being scary, but if i bought one with a muzzle brake would the LGS care? or could they just remove it and toss it and let me have it?

You can buy a CA legal M1A with OD stock from Grabagun or Buds and have it shipped to a FFL. You can't remove the muzzle brake and replace it with a flash hider because it will be a AW.

>>35059369
You might have to paint it yourself. The glass bedding on the supermatch means that the stock that comes with it is physically glued to the gun. The stock is custom fit to the gun. On the loaded or standard versions you can drop in stocks.

Just sell it, dude. It's a duty gun. Somebody else might have a need for it and be willing to give you money.

It's not like a family heirloom or valuable milsurp.

None. It's now illegal to get 10+ mags in Cali.

>>35059676
fukin gay rip

>>35059569
None but you can get 20 rounders pinned to 10.
Also Nevada isn't very far away and gun shows cost $12 to attend.

Also stick with the brake. Keeps shit legal, genuinely helps control recoil. Only downside is the lack of a bayo lug which would be fine in CA. Nobody makes M14 brakes with bayo lugs that I know of.

what shade of Olive Drab green is this anyone know?

I impulse bought an 880 round 7.62x54r crate about 4 years ago.

I've shot maybe 150 rounds shooting my two Mosin 3 times. I'm also super paranoid about corrosive primers fucking up my steel so that makes me want to shoot it even less.

I might just sell the ammo. I could use a few hundred dollars.

Everything else has been a joy to shoot and own.

looking at first pistol hope actually get to use it with where i live now

not only did i buy a hi point 995 i got some of the 20 round mags to go with it. honestly wish i just bought a kel tec. will probably sell it during the next scare.

>>35047108

Sig Mosquito. Utterly sucks. I used every common .22lr brand, including CCI, and it jammed about every 5th shot. I also switched up the springs. The casing would often get totally jammed, fail to extract, or fail to cycle. Completely disappointed.

>>35053770

I put 500 rounds through it before it failed to fire consistently. Never been the same sense. I am regret.

>>35047139
I did the same thing with a shorty moss. Left it mounted by my bedrooom door and never shoot it.
