Springfield Armory M1A

So, you know, AR-15 magazines, you can get good ones all day long for 15 bucks.

You can't get other nice weapons, you know, for example, the M14, M1A, Those magazines are $45, $50 a piece.

And if you want actual government-issue magazines that are in mint condition, you're going to pay more than that.

Same with the Ruger Mini-14.

There's Springfield, International Harvester, and I think Winchester is the other brand that made M1s.

And I already have an M1A.

Next, I think the next thing I'll get is a M1 carbine.

You can still find those.

Un- uh, would you like an AR-15 or an AK-47? I think it'd tell us a lot about her if she, uh, uh, picked her own rifle.

An M1A, an M1 Grand.

Um-

Yeah.

But we also have full-powered cartridge fighting rifles, often called battle rifles.

These would be things like, uh, an M14, M1A, a, you know, AR-10, both of those being in 308.

And there are other calibers, but by far the most common for a full-powered battle rifle is gonna be 308.

If we go to older generations, you might find things like, uh, a 30-06 or 7.62 by, by a 54R.

You gotta remember that design came out in the '50s, um, and it's had a lot of refinements over time.

So we're kind of, again, living in that golden era.

You can get a-- many options of very good, affordable, decent AR-15 pattern rifles for a fraction of the cost that you're generally gonna find a good AR-10 or a good M14 pattern, like M1A style rifle, a fraction of the cost and a fraction of the cost to ammo.

Which one? Well, that depends, right? I, I told you I worked as a private security sector for a long time.

Yeah, and it doesn't have to be an AR platform either.

It can be an M1A, it could be a Valmet, as long as it's in the right calibers, right? During the blackout, .308, you know.

Yeah,

just those three rifle calibers plus all the pistol caliber carbines.

But that's why I have that.

But if I lived in a state like New Hampshire that has the constitutional carry, man, I'd be like, what, as fast as owning an AR-15 or... say this and sorry but not sorry to any gun rights advocates I am a big fan of the M1A I'll take an M1A over an AR-15 any fucking day of the week so sorry but not sorry folks So anyway, guys, anyways, enough.

We're talking about all that shit and all that stuff.

I want to talk about like

You have Palma Rifle, which is .308 or .223 with iron sights only.

And then you have Service Rifle, which is your AR-15, M1A, M1 Garand, which always had been iron sights, but four or five years ago, they allowed scopes on there.

And then they've since started AR Tactical, which is basically just AR...

AR off a bipod on the MOA target.

So basically, I'm aiming 15 feet to the right of the target.

to get him to land in the center.

And, you know, my friend who's shot on the Navy team, he talks about back in the day when he was out in the West Coast shooting service rifle with M1A, they would put maybe 10 minutes of windage on his gun, and then he might aim another target over just to land him in there.

So, yeah, when you stop to think about how much adjustment you're making and what you're doing, it's pretty cool, really.

self-defense in the country.

The M1A...

With the traditional style stock, it's perfectly Illinois legal and not an assault weapon.

Do all of your state law enforcement know this? They

I do now.

Wait,

an M1A, not an M1 carbine? Nope, M1A.

Full bore 308.
