My M1A Project Rifle

edited May 2006 in Ask the Experts
Ok, I got this crazy idea about 8 months ago to take a Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 and make it custom. Now, $2,600 later, I'm nearing completion of my work of art.

The one piece of the puzzle that I still need to aquire is a unique type of laser sight. The specifications? Well, here they are:

Picantinny mountable
Elevation and windage adjustments
Remote pressure switch

Anyone know where I can find one? Price isn't really TOO much of a problem, but I'd like to find one for as little as possible.

    If you're not going to bother answering my question, then don't bother talking to me or even posting.

    Back off!

    Email me. I know where you can get a 45mw green laser with a switch for a resonable price. I have one on my AR pistol and it is clearly visible even in the Arizona sun.

    Disregard the morons on this site.This used to be a good discussion forum before the trolls moved in.

    Hey Bud,

    Here's a website you can checkout to get a ton of info on any and all M14/M1a rifles:

    M14 Forum

    There's a lot of real knowledgable folks on there that can help out with most any ? you might have.

    I got my M1A back in November and these people have really helped me a lot with everything.

    Check it out,I think you'll like it.

    Take Care

    Maybe just a matter of taste, but I think I'd go with a smaller forward mount scope on the rail. Weaver makes a good 2.5X to 8X and it is very compact, rugged too. Matte finished.

    Nice setup - it exudes "evil black rifle"!

    Can you believe that it has about the same recoil as a full lenth AR-15/M16A2? Not bad for a .308, huh?

    By the way, I've got the 10-rd mag it came with, a NOS 20-rd mag, and 2 30-rd mags that I bought on Gunbroker. It took me an hour of scrubbing to get the cosmoline off of the 20-rd mag...I swear to god that one's been around since Vietnam, sitting in a crate in a warehouse somewhere.

    Doug, there's no link in your post. Could you repost it please?

    Thanx much

    So all you helpful souls can examine my work of art without a magnifying glass, here's a non-reduced picture of it.
