You see people cloning CAR-15s, M16A1s, M16A2s and so on.
One gun that people always seem to mod and love, myself included, is theM1A.
The rifle is shown in the movie carried by the actor who portrays Shughart.
The new M1A Standard Two-Tone Desert FDE rifle is a limited edition model available through Nation’s Best Sports (NBS).
After some elbow grease, I got it looking pretty close.
But Springfield Armory has released something super cool that would make a project like this much easier.
The gun comes with not one, but two magazines a 15-round magazine and a 10-round magazine.
The M1A is one of those rifles that can be collected in 10 different builds and still want more. The classic rifle is amazing out of the box and when heavily customized.
The rifle will also ship with an olive-drab green cotton sling that is very similar to classic G.I.
The rifle is, of course, the M1A we know and love when it comes to its specs.
It weighs in at a sturdy 8 lbs., 8 oz.
The NSB-exclusive M1A performed well. It is an accurate rifle, handles the .308 WIN recoil effectively and has some of the best iron sights ever devised for a fighting rifle.
Thatd be easily $150-$250 of extras, not including the sling.
It is accurate rifle, it handles the .308 Win.
Conclusion
I love to see manufacturers make retroish guns like this for consumers.
True Shotwas the ammunition provider for this project being sure to supply enough .308 WIN.
Its always great to see them jump on board a bit with trends and what customers want.
Id love to see more and more gun manufacturers get in on releasing builds like these.
Hats off to Springfield Armory for working with NSB to create this exclusive rifle!
