Because you could put the money back for something that you and your kids could do together.

I have a plan, I'll slowly save up for it, and if I still want it when I've got twice what it will cost, then I'll get it. Until then, the kids and I have fun.
thanks

Because the M1A was never designed to use a short gas system, and you could build a better M1A for less than Springfield wants for that one.

I want one too... I'm slowly saving up for it. If you get it before me then let me know how you like it. I already have a Springfield Loaded M1A and that is a great rifle!

Buy it. Just buy it! Take out a second loan against your house, borrow against your kids college fund, whatever!
For the morning will come. Brightly will it shine on the brave and true, kindly upon all who suffer for the cause, glorious upon the tombs of heroes. Thus will shine the dawn.

You could save the money that you are planning to spend on that and get laid.

I would like my country back. I used to believe that one man could never destroy this country. Not so sure anymore!

You shouldn't BUY one. You should INVEST in one. I can even provide you with the investment opportunity.

A friend has a SOCOM and has extraction problems with it. I picked up a Robar M1A rework similar to SOCOM, real cheap after noting the chamber must have been cut with a cement drill. Polished the chamber works fine. No other bad stuff about the SOCOM but I prefer the full size M-1A. Stock up on magazines while you can. If the "election" goes in the crapper, expect your rights and LEO exemptions to be "re-defined".
Your oath of office might be re-defined as well............
The Army's CMP sales still has some M-1 Garands. I bought an H-R service grade 1953 mfr, from them for $595, very good condition and it shoots well

Old People, like me, may not be around to witness the destruction of our Nation. The rest of you may not survive the collapse. We all have the sworn duty to prevent it.
