Buying a Springfield M1a socom 16 today. Anything I’m in for or should be expecting...

> Springfield !!!!
Ok cool decent quality m1as, but Springfields bad politics man...
>socom 16”
Wait? What ? Why ? Did you go full retard.... poor ballistics and loud as shit.

Ugh that thing looks like the plague

Always been hot for the plague then

If they made a gewehr 43 chambered in 6.5 creedmore i would buy it no matter the cost

Go buy a PSA 10 with a 16” barrel... atleast that rifle won’t look as bad as the M1A in a tactical stock

I agree its a nonsense gun but its an endearing nonsense gun.

don't post on this board unless you want more hate than a trannie BLM buttfucking flash mob. SOCOM 16 is sexy, this board is 1000% whiny faggots with no motivation but to spew venom and smirk about it later while they sleep alone.

but some user told me they're shit guns so now I just mindless repeat it because they're too expensive for me and I'll never own one so it makes me feel better

Again, size matters

Get your eyes checked nigger. Either that or get a better taste than a white trash pipe fitter.

And you knowingly made this retarded mistake because...

I was going to say don’t be gay and buy the m1a scout if you want a shorter m1a but it looks like I was too late.

as opposed to an inaccurate piece of shit that Springfield makes at an unreasonable price?

That's a funny way to spell "PTR".

>16"
BLECH
This is closest to truth though, OP. Buy an AR10 (with an 18" or 20") instead.
You won't regret it.

>paying for your rifle fully assembled like a cuck.
Lol

>>buying the most obnoxious and impractical version of their meme rifle
Why is this gun shit on for its aesthetics but the Mini-14 is almost universally adored?
They look almost identical.

You're an idiot buying a meme gun

The mini is not universally adored, the wood stocked mini looks nothing like this monstrosity, and last but not least one is in .308 while the other is in .223

>small arms solutions makes a video shitting all over the M14
>everyone on Jow Forums becomes an expert on .308 ballistics and Vietnam Era firearms

Good on ya, OP. M1A is a pleasure to shoot. You're going to lose a little bit of oomph with the shorter barrel (about 200fps) and it's loud, but it's a great rifle and you'll enjoy it.

>having to put a rifle together like a cuck
Lmao

Watching another man built your own tools to do your job is as close to cuckoldry as one can possibly get.

You cant prove me wrong

The M14 has been shitted on here long before that video. FAL is Jow Forums's Cold War battle rifle of choice.

Your world is an oddball one. When you take the bus or the train, are you being cucked by the driver? When you eat food you didn't kill yourself, is your mom cucking you?

I like all things based on the M1 action generally but this looks like complete shit

>obnoxious
>buying a rifle in .308 expecting little booms

Why? if you want an M1A because you have a fascination with older American military weapons or something similar cool, if you like the aesthetic for some reason cool, if not you could spend the same on a custom ar10 and have a way better rifle

It’s not that the M14 is terrible, it’s just judged against contemporaries that are way better; when the G3 and FAL are your main competition the bar is pretty high.

It’s that Springfield’s build quality is very mediocre and you can get much closer to usgi in a used gun for about the same or a new gun for a few hundo more.

Mass transit is for poor people and euro trash.

Well surely you can't drive a car. It was built by dozens of men. How much of a cuck are you, using a tool you didn't build yourself?

>that stock
Why wouldnt they just move the trigger grouping forward

>paying for parking everywhere is a privilege and one that I enjoy
Get a load of this chump

To avoid completely redesigning the gun? Are you retarded?

that's how the gun is designed. Sometimes when they gun is designed for a full stock you can't just go from traditional to modern seamlessly
Possible? Yeah but it's more work than it's possibly worth.

>short barrel .308
are you retarded? Its not even gonna burn up all the powder, its basically going to be a 7.62x39 except you have to carry all the extra powder and shell casing with you

Get a 20 inch at least or dont get a full size cartridge

>all these people shitting on its ballistics
I mean, yeah you're going to lose a little bit of velocity and there will be a bit more concussion, but you guys are really exaggerating things. Velocity loss is comparable to 5.56 with the same reduction, and it's going to be loud as hell no matter what; that's why earpro exist. A brake might make things worse though. I just think its ugly as fuck and not what an m1a should be. OP, go with a fixed stock and 18-20" barrel if you want an m1a. Get an AR10 if you want a "tactical" looking .308 rifle.

Wow I never realized how much of Jow Forums just turns out to be whiny bitches complaining about 1 rifle and a little muzzle blast.

No it isn't. All these poor fucks pick the HK91 because they can get a meh tier PTR for pennies on the dollar by comparison.

It's pretty normal for Jow Forums to immediately devolve into "Stop liking what I don't like".
