Can someone please talk me out of this

[wcd]

Have wanted an M1a for a long time, I enjoy shooting the 308 , any better alternatives out there? It would be a just because purchase.

 

[wildcatfan]

Sounds like a good idea to me

 

[Gingerbeardman]

"just because" is the best reason.

"just because" is the best reason.

Yeah looking for one with the Nice Wood stock, I really enjoy shooting my mini 14 and 30 so I was thinking why not.

 

[Ziggidy]

"just because", because you can!

You've come to the wrong place, INGO is a bunch of enablers...

 

[KellyinAvon]

Talk someone out of a firearms purchase... that's really not what we do here.

 

[Cameramonkey]

I'll do it.

Go M1 rebarreled in 308 instead. Cheaper to shoot and its a classic. (including the ping... oh, wait. LOL )

But if you ignore me, go for it. M1A it is.

Grab a NM M1A, I bought mine in the middle 80's. Money well spent.

You should definetly get it

 

[armalitesheepdog]

Might as well. Can’t take it with ya. The cash that is. Well ya can’t take the rifle either but you can have fun while you here.

 

[indyjohn]

No. There is no better alternative for a magazine fed, wood and steel classic.

 

[92FSTech]

I want one too, and for no better reason that you. I even have two Garands, and I still want one. I'm the wrong guy to ask to talk you out of that!

 

[Purdue1991]

Don't do it...don't buy the rifle.

You need to buy the rifle AND all of the unnecessary accessories that should go along with it...

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Well, if you can't afford it... don't get it. (no matter how bad you want it)
If you can, and you still want it... go for it.

 

[jwamplerusa]

I am an enabler, I don't talk people out of freedom or bang sticks.

Wood and steel go together. I think an M1A would suit you well.

 

[El Conquistador]

Half of my safe is filled with “just because” guns. So no help here.

What he said.

I think you have us mixed up with a different forum. Guns Anonymous or some silly thing like that.

 

[Bassat]

I am sure these folks can help you.

I’ve had a few. They are fun guns and neat to shoot. Are they the most accurate? Out of the box, no. Are they the most practical? Probably not. In all honesty, for the price of an M1a you could probably build a decent AR-10 and buy a cheaper bolt gun that will be more accurate, but since this is what you want, and it’s a ‘fun gun’ purchase, I’d say definitely go for it!
