There’s about three “levels” of bedding involvement here, and unless you’re experienced in this area, it’s best to have an experienced ‘smith do the work.įor the nes plus ultra job, there might be extra lugs welded onto the rear of the receiver to increase the bearing surface for recoil as well as some added metal into the receiver area of the stock. Next, if you want to increase accuracy but keep the wood stock (and there are custom walnut stocks available for the Garands and M1A’s that are really quite lovely), you can start bedding the action into the stock. The M-16/AR-15 was made to please the lowest bidder, not a rifleman. now you’re just talking wholesale replacement of the hammer, trigger and disconnector. Springfield 1903/A3, Garand and M14/M1A triggers all can be made very, very nice with minimal work by a gunsmith. They simply need to get some trigger time on better rifles. The only people who think AR-15 stock triggers are “nice” are people who haven’t had their fingers on triggers that are actually good. You can make the stock, as-issued trigger that smooth, unlike stock AR-15 triggers - which actually are nothing but case-hardened cow patties, complete pieces of crap.
If your ‘smith hones the parts with a very fine stone (like a ruby stone), you can make the M1A/Garand triggers feel like you’re pulling a polished glass rod across silk lingerie. Unlike the M16/AR15, the trigger group components in the M1A/M14 are usually of higher quality and amenable to being worked on by a gunsmith.įor people who aren’t concerned with official competitions, you can go lighter on the trigger I’d recommend that you not go below, oh, 3.5 lbs. pull, which you can easily achieve with the stock two-stage trigger group. If you want to compete in DCM or Leg matches, you’ll need a minimum 4.5 lb. The M1A, like the Garand, has a factory trigger that can be vastly improved from the GI 9-lb two-stage pull.
#M1A SOCOM ACCURACY UPGRADE#
Next upgrade would be to get the trigger improved. – an aperture on the rear sight that can be rotated for minute up/down changes in elevation. – 1/2 MOA clicks on the rear sight elevation The first upgrades I’d suggest anyone do to an M1A (from a rack grade rifle) would be to replace the standard sights with the NM sights, which give you: So the M1A never really took off, despite being a “true” battle rifle and very accurate. The result was as Jim represents: The M1A was too heavy, too uncontrollable, the ammo was too heavy… and more than all of that, our new allies and partners in the SEA war were smaller statured people (both men and women) who were more comfortable with something about the size of the M1 Carbine. The M1A, owing to being only a little less powerful than an ’06, might have been able to be controlled if it had been 16 to 18lbs, with a compensator hung on it. Yes, that’s what’s needed to keep the fire on target from a full-auto. It’s called the Browning Automatic Rifle and it comes in at about 18 to 22 lbs. The hard truth is that we already had a 20-round, box magazine-fed, full-auto. 308… and even more vastly superior than the 5.56 poodle-popping cartridge. 260 Rem would have been vastly superior to anything we got in the. 260 or 7mm08 at 2600 to 2800 fps and a 120 to 130 grain bullet and I think.
Where the cartridge really needed to go was to something like. We’re talking of only about a 200fps reduction in muzzle velocities from a. Which is really just a functional equivalent of the. Garand and conceded to lower the power to what we now know as the. …Not to be deterred from their damp dreams of a full-auto rifle in a full-powered “gravel belly” cartridge, barely listened to Mr. If you review the historical accounts of the M14 project, you find that Garand was no dummy – he told the Army brass that we needed an “intermediate” power cartridge like the 8mm Kurtz or something similar to achieve full-auto fire in a 10lb rifle. It’s the result of John Garand himself telling the DOD (formerly the War Department, back when we used to flat-out win wars) that there was no way to achieve a full-auto rifle with a full-powered rifle cartridge with a.
