    Who says standard M1A's cant shoot?

    Took my standard M1A to the range today. All USGI TRW parts built on a SAI receiver, only mod is a shimmed gas cylinder. Took some time off this week so I could spend it at the range. Man I sure don't want to go back to work!

    100yds
    Front rest
    Federal Premium 168gr Matchking BTHP
    5 shot groups
    1st group .979
    2nd 1.34
    3rd .873
    average 1.06

    I have a standard M1a I built with GI parts on a FA receiver. Same as you, only shimmed the gas cylinder and it shoots just fine. Its more the archer than the arrow anyway.

    Some would consider that Hubble-sized scope a “mod”. I bet it help with over 50 eyes though.

    Not Hubble sized at all once you take off the sunshade

    You get sun up there is Ohio now? I remember only seeing the sun 2-3 times a year and considering myself lucky when I did when I lived there.
