Thanks henchman, that's exactly the type of comparason I'm looking for. That's interesting that you ended up going back to the lighter Springfield plastic stock. I prefer lighter rifles too, and wonder if maybe the $ for a vltor or sage chassis might be better spent elsewhere. Just wondering...

ditto

I had to admit that $950 sounds a bit on the high side, but for milled, I can understand it being over $800. Maybe if you could find some additional history or authenticiation for it that would help. Maybe Im feeling bratty because I was spoiled by my first AK, which was only a Romanian...

I have a springfield M1A scout in the standard black synthetic stock that I enjoy a great deal and am looking to upgrade to make it easier to mount optics to and more stable/accurate...and Im looking into the VLTOR M1A Stock and also the Sage EBR stock set up and wonder if its worth the $...

What about a J frame with a laser/CT? This has been a very informative thread, with many well informed opinions. What about a 5 shot J frame revolver supplemented by a laser/ crimson trace type system? Obviously its probably hard to collect statistics on that, but Id be interested in...

Andy, thanks for the thoughts on the T1/H1 and the pro. Do I need to switch the scount mount on it to the ultimak or should I just keep it stock? I read that the ultimak sits lower and allows cowitness, which sounds handy. Also, as far as tritium, I do like the idea of a tritium front...

I was thinking Hogs, or maybe deers with the 10 rd mag. I kinda think I might miss the narrow front sight a bit for the more recise shot placement. Do you think maybe it would be just about as helpful to just keep the narrow blade on the front and maybe just touch it up with a dab of...

5 magpul 30 rd pmags, and 1 20 rd pmag. Love the pmags. 10 standard STANAG type 30 rd mags in 3 of the 3 mag pouches, with one extra for the range. 2 20 rd box mags for the range. Seems reasonable.

I'm looking at getting a tritium front sight for my M1A scout, but I'm having trouble deciding which brand to go with. I have a .062 wide front sight now, so I'm a bit concerned about how wide it would be. But does anyone have any experience with tritium front sights on M1As? I have a Truglow...

I have a Springfield M1A scout squad that I love very much. I can't decide whether to put an optic on it and if so, what kind. I feel good with the iron sights, anything out to 300 yds is a breeze. Id speculate it averages between 1.5 to 2 MOA out of the box with no work done on it, but im...

I've been looking at getting either a M&P 9C or a Glock 19 for CCW and am having trouble deciding which one to go with and am looking for thoughts and suggestions. I don't know any place around here where I can rent or shoot either gun, so about all I can do is handle both and see what I...

Im new to this board, but have been an active shooter and gun owner for many years - and Im just now starting to re-evaluate my approach CCW and am looking for opinions or advice. I have had a CCW for roughly 12 years from the different states Ive lived or worked in, but other than some...

All very helpful opinions, and I'm leaning towards a G19 for now... BUT what about Generation 4 vs Generation 3? I've read some reliability complaints on the boards about 4th Gen 9mms, maybe because of the recoils spring. Is that a real problem or had it been addressed? (My old police...

Im new to the board, but have been shooting handguns and rifles my whole life. Im trying to decide between getting a full sized Glock 17 vs a medium sixed Glock 19. They would probably see occasional CCW use, but are more likely to spend time as a "truck" gun and a range gun. I might also be...
