The Springfield SOCOM 16 CQB features a new pistol grip that facilitates retention and control over the rifle with the firing hand. The all new adjustable buttstock is mounted on a standard AR-type receiver extension tube, so customers can choose from hundreds of compatible stock options to suit their specific mission requirements. Nearly 10 inches shorter than the M1A standard model, the CQB offers quick and easy handling for defensive use indoors or out. The Springfield SOCOM 16 CQB is not just a smaller and more maneuverable M1A it's been designed specifically to excel in close quarter applications. And, you also will discover that a gun that can shoot like a laser beam from a lead sled isn't necessarily that accurate a gun when you have to pick it up and shoot it offhand.Springfield Armory announced the newest member of the M1A family for 2016, the SOCOM 16 CQB, which is optimized for close quarters defensive use. Then, one day you will discover that you are such a consistent shooter that when you do have a problem hitting a target, you know the problem isn't you. Then, when you think you're pretty fast at it, take that scope off of it and get you some good A2 sights (I like LMTs) on that gun and try it again and see how far you can hit 'em. When you get pretty fast at it, move 'em back 100 yards more and try it again. Make yourself up a rack of 8 or 10 hanging plates on a piece of pipe and start out at 200 yards and see how fast you can swing all the plates while shooting off of a pack. See what you can do with it at 1,000 yards resting it in the fork of a tree. Try shooting your ultra-light AR10 clone offhand or from a sling. The other part is how well you can shoot it in a variety of conditions. How tight a gun groups is just part of the equation. Well, it's more than just ammo and the "fun" factor. For some of the shooting I do, that M1A is just more fun. Why do I shoot milspec ammo? Because I have a lot of it! I know all AR fanboys think nothing can beat them. 308 win target chambers and won't shoot milspec ammo. (I've wrecked a few.) And, when you add the restriction of milspec ammo, it narrows it down even more. And, as I said before, it's the conditions. And, I do a lot of unsupported shooting with no bags, packs, sleds, etc. My red dots aren't worth a damn past close range. The sights on my M1A NM are good past 1200 meters. But, I don't know what magic set of sights you have on yours, but the LMTs I use on my AR10 aren't good for much past 600 meters. My 18" AR10 clone doesn't have the same range though with comparable ammo. They can cost time, cash, and stress to relieve which is the reason I went with a complete PA-10, at least to begin with. There are a lot of sneaky little hidden snags lurking in the home design/build process. I can't address those reasons but I can strongly suggest that if you are to secure an AR-10 based rifle, get one that's been designed and built by a proven builder. Whether you get the SOCOM, or something based on, say, the AR-10 would depend on the reasons behind the desire to have another 308 semi. I would not have been capable of doing that with the M1a.
#M1a socom cqb malfunction upgrade
The PA-10 I have is not the PA-10 I bought there are a lot of upgrade parts in it/on it which I added/replaced myself. I'd rather build my own AR-10 but I bought my PA-10 complete instead, and the savings was substantial over the M1a. I miss it greatly, but not enough to cough up the cost of replacing it. My M1a was the Springfield Loaded, and it was damned accurate but that involved glassbedding it and handloading. So Caveat Emptor, let the buyer beware there be lawyers in the waters, Matey. What will be true is that the loads we commonly apply to the M1a/M14 will not be as compatible for a different barrel length more, less, who's to tell off the cuff? Dispersion with the same ammunition will differ between the two barrel lengths, but prediction will not say which is 'better'. I'd say that the ammunition/barrel issue hold the most pertinent answer to your question. My abilities allowed me to be as accurate with sling and irons as I was with a scoped rifle, but this is not always the case for all.
Iron sights can be very accurate, and I had a lot of practice shooting the M1 and M1a in High Power N/M out to 300yd. If that had been your question, I'd be stopping right here.Īccuracy is bound up by factors like structural integrity, sights and sight radius, or optics, and ammunition compatibility with a given barrel. None of us had complaints about the ergonomics, except those that stem from the simple fact that one size never fits all. It was a representation of the simple fact that the human being is ultimately adaptable given need and repetition. It became a semi-attached appendage, a true extension of my body. In 19, I carried an M-14 in training and combat in Vietnam.
