I was in the same boat, recently, and went with a Scout. Both the AR10 and M1A are fine rifles and you won't be wrong regardless of which you choose. What pushed me to buy the Scout was the abundance of good mags and aftermarket parts/upgrades available. I think you're confusing the Scout with...

Clear skies, Quiet winds and Soft Landings...RIP, Bro. Mike

Sounds like someone's watched "Snatch" more than a few times.

One rotation to JRTC (This was '94, I believe), we had a USMCR ANGLICO team attached to our platoon for a mission. They referred to themselves as, "Force Recon with hair." Good bunch of joes; great sense of humor with that lot. Mike

I shot both the scout and the SOCOM before deciding to buy the Scout. As others have posted, I think the Scout represents the best compromise between portability and shootability. Mike

Good Deal! I'm thinking about hanging up my spurs in '08. I'll hafta swing by thata way when I come back east and say "Hey" to you. MIke

Congrats on the new house, bro. And I'm glad you had a safe move. BTW, do you live near Hinesville or are you closer to Savannah? Mike

Midway also sells 20 round mags for the M1A/M14. They're advertised as Taiwanese T57 mags. I ordered a couple and while they work well in my Scout, I doubt that they're actual surplus T57s given the materials used and number and location of welds. On the upside, they are inexpensive, ~$15.00...

9 out of 10. I fell victim to the poor wording of the parallax question.

A friend of mine said it best - and it sounds like he may have stolen it from someone else: "Pistol perfection was reached in 1911. Everything else since has been inferior, derivative or both." Mike

The one thing in the picture that really caught my attention was the type and location of the mag release. A "flapper" type mag release located behind the mag would definitely be less awkward than a release bar forward of the mag a la the AUG. Mike

Noveske makes some truly awesome AR barrels. Won't be cheap and it won't be quick, but it'll be the way YOU want it. Mike

Your comments on optics presume good mechanics and set up on the part of the shooter. In ForeverArmed's first post, he states he gets a lot of judder and shake from using a 10x on his ARs. Imagine what it would be like at 24x. After re-reading the thread, almost everybody that posted (myself...

Asked and answered. Very well, I might add. With a VFG, mounting the rifle is as simple as, "Putting your dukes up."

Another thing to think about is your choice of optics. The greater the magnification, the greater the perceived rifle wobble will be. On some of my long range scopes, when I crank up the magnification, every movement regardless of how slight results in noticable scope movement. If it's...

Me neither. I got a Scout model for Christmas and it's nothing but sunshine and light. Get it - you won't regret it. Mike

The current issue of SGN has a step by step article on building your own AR. Mike

Right now, I'm the S3 SGM for the training brigade at FT Sill, and let me tell you - I know your pain. Recently I met a Battery Commander that was over-joyed, nay, ecstatic that his battery had achieved a 65% first time go rate for rifle qualification and "only" had 10 Soldiers that failed to...

The standard irons on an A1/A2 aren't intended for Camp Perry accuracy. But they're fine for their intended purpose - battlefield shooting. And they're a dang sight (pun intended) better than what most Soldiers of other nations get with their rifles. If you find the aperature too big, install a...
