M1A Socom II

[bobsolla]

socom 2 with a troy stock may be my next money pit!those are sweet rifle setups!

[sbd45acp]

I KNOW that is one LOUD son of a bitch in the back of your truck! Great way to save your brass though!!

[mrsuperterd]

that way the whole time home all you smell is gun powder. genius air freshener I even seen hopes #9 air fresheners.

[WigSplitter505]

I have a Socom II and the foregrip is a necessity! It really cuts down on the felt weight. Check out my channel!

[thedoubledeus]

ive never fired one of those but ive held a few with the front rails they are freakin heavy

[jewelfewel]

just chillin in the back of an SUV poppin off rounds. awesome.

[CREWDOG289]

that is a man stopper

[666offering]

That is one bad-ass dude with one bad-ass rifle!

[devildogdozer]

Sometimes a Zombie invasion seems like it would be pretty awesome.

[FRANKMORRISSETTE]

GREAT VID, THANKS

[0oF22Raptoro0]

es un M14 Socom no un M1A

[0oF22Raptoro0]

m14 socom no m1a

[futureranger4life]

@0oF22Raptoro0 m1a is an m14

[futureranger4life]

@0oF22Raptoro0 m1a is an m14

[Crimble67]

Tapping the bottom of the mag on an M1A doesn't do anything to seat it. It's not an AR!

[meshuggahfan]

@Crimble67 i know old post is old. But you obviously have never put a mag into an m14 or m1a variant before.

[Crimble67]

@meshuggahfan Uh, you'd be wrong on that account since i own two and I can tell you with 100% certainty that slapping the bottom does nothing to seat the mag. On an AR-15 that is a different story. Everyone thinks they are John Wayne!

[meshuggahfan]

@Crimble67 bullshit, i call bullshit pal.... You don't make enough money to afford one. And since you are such an expert on the subject, i guess you missed the video with my m1a in it. Idiot. Get lost kid and get a job.

[Crimble67]

@meshuggahfan O.K., so after you rock the mag in and hear the "click" and the mag is fully seated then what does slapping the bottom add? Answer; the feeling that you have an AR-15 and not an M1A. AK mags work the same way, just the click which means fully inserted and that's it.

[fattymc20]

hey, that empty hit me in the eye.

[Cullenb11231]

damn cracking glass or what?

[Gaeler]

can it go full auto?

[Eagle249]

How much did this one go for? I found one for $1,800.

[digitalzombi]

@Eagle249 Depending on your location thats about average. I got mine for 1650 2.5 years ago in Wisconsin

[Eagle249]

@digitalzombi ok that is not to bad, way look at a pre ban ar but, that one was 2500 and im not paying that much.

[TaZ101SAGA]

Whats the accurate range with the shortened barrel?

[theinfedel]

my socom has a AFG on it and it is killer four power mil dot and a micro dot almost as fun as my dsa stg58 jungle carbine cant beat 308

[MrLoco61]

That Was A Close One 0:39 Sounded Like It Went Close By.... Nice Socom II

[666offering]

NIIICCEEE!

[dabom12898]

Thats a kick ass peice man. but having the for-grip seems kinda uncomfortable with a rifle handle like that dont cha think? i never tried a combo like that but im just wondering.

[doc1buc]

@dabom12898 Hey man. I've recently swapped out the pistol grip with a Magpul Angled Fore-Grip. The ergos are great and makes the rifle feel more inline.

[reallytightpants]

@dabom12898 Lol it does... I wouldnt be able to do it id feel out of whack shooting it

[myfridaythe13th]

what is the difference between a m1a socom and a m14 socom ?

[666offering]

@myfridaythe13th

M1A is the civilian version of the M14. Basically it cannot do select fire, go from semi-automatic to full automatice.

[octaviom85]

Looks like a nice rifle but its got too much junk on in front.. like that rail.. is all that really nessecary?

[666offering]

@octaviom85

It does get heavy sometimes but I like the weight overall. If you don't like the rails you can get the regular SOCOM model, which does not have the rail system.

[iriedog420]

what state u live in? man I need to move out of CA

[YOWHATTHEHELLUP71]

watch your tail lights with the muzzle blast, ive seen um break.

[BigIceWolf90]

Love it man. M1A=most enjoyable gun ive shot

[gibson1789]

that is just a beast of a rifle, wouldn't mind having one exactly like it

[LogicalFlawDetector]

Dude, question:

How much does this cost and what is the range and would this be a good sniper rifle?

[chinook10199]

I have an old M1A1, kicks like a mule but I love it.

[flyhpy]

amazing... those shoes look like they are made out of real leather, i bet they could hold up if you walked 5 miles in the mud. steel toe too, just doesn't get any better than that

[SWATteam200]

i was at a gun show today and i saw one of these....i want one there awesome

[flyhpy]

@SWATteam200 they're, not there

[RentonXD1]

sounds like a richochet @:38.

[zombie133]

I love mine, after all the aimpoint and other scope shit was over I decided this gun was best with plain sights

[victorvonzell]

To all that want a SOCOM i'm sorry that you don't own one. And to the ones that own one isn't this just the coolest rifle you ever owned I mean she's short she's powerful and she will knock down what ever she hit's at 500 yards and less. Oh ya I got rid my wife and replaced her with the SOCOM the best thing I did a few years back. So when i look at her i think and smile and say how do you like my now BITCH, HA HA HA HA!

[R1Geno]

I just sold my AR and two pistols to get this bad boy. Well worth the sacrifice.. Midway has a pistol grip collapsible stock made by VLTOR you guys might want to check out. It's $465.45 but definitely completes the Socom 2.

[Treembea]

GOD THAT IS A SEXY GUN!!! doesnt feel kinda wierd tho to have a rifle grip in the back and have a pistol grip up front? even so, that with the pistol grip and light/laser WAS FUCKING SICK

[2strong2handle]

this is a semi automatic version i have one

[Dilliboy63]

i advise those who can get norinco's to buy the chinese m14/M1A. Way cheaper, decent enough manufacturing and you can trick it out as much as an ar-15 or sks

[45CaliberCure]

@Dilliboy63 The pricks screwed us down here in the U.S. Stinking 922r slammed the door on the Norinco's for us. Damn lefties will put the screws to it wherever they can, but we got high-cap mags again anyway, and in the end it's the ammo that'll eat you out of house and home;) 1600+ rounds waiting for daylight here. Eyes forward, powder dry.

[avail18]

I'm picking mine up today...the $1999.97 price tag kinda hurts...oh well :)

[KittyRokher]

I want a SOCOM so bad, but I'm only 14, so $1700 is a LOT of money. Looks like a great rifle, though. Plus, it's made by Springfield, it must be awesome!

[mlaberts]

I am about to invest in a SOCOM II. I've heard nothing but good things other than maybe pick up a cheek rest, but that's not a problem that'll keep me from picking one up. Anyone have any glaring problems or dislikes out there...

[the8jrfan]

@mlaberts Ya dude I have a Socom II and I love it. Very reliable and sturdy and the coolest rifle you will ever own in your life. When you buy this rifle you will not need an ar 15 this rifle will kick any ar 15's ass. The only con is the front sight (trijicon tritium) mine was overtightened from the factory and was cracked but they sent me a new one for free. There are no cons or dislikes about the rifle itself out there you will love it and have it forever.

[mlaberts]

I actually just picked up a Springfield M1A National Match. I appreciate the words, good lookin out.

[F4izzle]

i love my fuckin socom 2

[Raventhief20]

Man this rifle rocks!! I shoot one in one of my videos, low recoil(suprisingly considering its a .308 round) and deadly accurate. Curtis, the guy who's gun I'm shooting, actually blew the 5 area(on the target in my vid) away at 50yds. no scope!! It is that lethal. A bit pricey, but well worth it I think.

[dock534]

i love that rifle

[milleniumproof]

Thats badass. I wanted a supermatch until the ammo situation got sticky.

[2011VMICadet]

Beautiful rifle, and nice video! Nice control too!

[CGPAryan]

Damn I want one so bad!!!

[Mike1642]

how much do .308 bullets sell for cause im thinking about getting one.

[disturbedone5009]

Depends on what you buy. If you buy military surplus it can be 50 cents a round but some match ammo is over $1 per round.

[Vansain]

Man, I hope you had hearing protection on. Gotta be loud, in the semi enclosed back of that truck.

[battlescarred101]

awesome weapon dude. does the bolt lock back when the mag is empty? just wondering.

[doc1buc]

Sure does!

[Mr291229]

How much does this rifle cost.

[dock534]

1800 or 1900

[drstrangeman]

if you order it from springfield it's like 2,800+ last time i checked. but a standard m1a is 1,600+ (black) 1,700+ (millitary wood)

[darkcrysis]

two words, fuck yeah!!!!!!!

[earthninja777]

NICE MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Paratrooper1988]

Well made. Reliable. Plus save that brass and reload...

[samax04]

Is that you John Wayne?

[sniper034]

Is this me?

[zman6033]

who the fuck said that WHO THE FUCK SAID THAT!!!! LOL

[TheJomogogo]

LOL "Which one of you grabistic sacks of amphibian shit JUST COMMITTED SUICIDE?'

[8LarryHParker8]

Very nice! I'm jealous.

[doc1buc]

The attachment up front is a laser. The casings are actually hitting and landing in an ammo can in the bed.

[MapleSephiroth]

I could hear those shells hitting something. Are you sure they weren't ejecting at your window?

[doc1buc]

See post please, thanks for viewing!

[ArizonaAdventures]

very nice!

[vbandres]

is that a flash lignt or a laser?

[YokoWenis]

I like the idea of using the tailgate as a brass catcher. Drooling over the gun....

[Lungbustr05]

Nice rifle! I have a standard M1A. Great gun!

[andrigis]

Now that is SICK !

[aldexrey]

Wow....that was boring. Some fat guy shooting out the back of the family station wagon. Wow.

[Mallarky333]

Anybody know where to get one and how much?

[aldexrey]

Perhaps a gun shop? 1k

[Bobcat1911]

First, come on over here to Texas (but I guess you have to live here, to buy here, so don't) and it'll run you, under Obama prices, around $2,600.

[hondatilldeath]

hey bud have same gun and hand load to, work any good loads yet? 100yard groups? PEOPLE DONT THINK BUY!!!!! BEST GUN OUT THEIR!!

[marksmanman96]

i know that it has a compensator for almost no muzzle rise, but how much does it kick back?

[doc1buc]

Not bad at all. A couple of my female friends went to town with it and no complaints about "achy" shoulders the next day. They did complain about the weight though.

[UberR3D]

yeah its not as bad as people think, its no shotgun...

[doc1buc]

So true, I've got more mule kick from my M44!

[UberR3D]

It does use a much fatter round though too lol

[pnshmntmma4life]

damn i hope your windows are ok from all that flying brass haha. awesome video!

[blamsamblam87]

thats a nice rifle man but i think springfeild went a little overboard with the picatinney rails on it. just seems a little overkill

[pnshmntmma4life]

its a military concept

[Obsulus07]

That's what the Socom 16 is for, man. But you'd change your mind about the rails if you'd done a military night-fire. You can never have too many options when you've got anywhere from three to five attachments to put on your weapon.

[crazyAKeer]

There is no such thing as too many rails.

Ever.

[EG6collector]

is that a bronco?

[scarlettpitbull]

aallll that precious brass.

[doc1buc]

I agree, I scavenge and recover about 99% of my brass and hit the reloading bench hard. Also I want to plug that old saying that seems to be vanishing, "always leave a place better than how you found it"

[JgGooden]

thats the saying we use in most things. especially when we hunt on someone else's property.

[maggot666now]

good man yourself :D *thumbs up*

[ShatteredHawk]

Ill call you up when the Zombies start to take over. Socom II's FTW

[callmetw]

That's exactly why I want one.

[PirateXzibit]

Open bolt?

[deadwood83]

closed bolt.

That looks like a comfy setup! Back and leg support which, in turn, supports the rest. And you get a smokeless powder air freshener! Sweet deal!

[doc1buc]

It sure is comfy! Now if I could just turn the volume down on the "Air Freshener"! ;o)

[deadwood83]

Yankee Hill can or Gemtech can. Around 1K after the tax stamp but it'll take it down to maybe .22ish volume :p

[hibob841]

I'm torn between this and the SOCOM-16, which is similar but lacks the full rails on the forend. Unfortunately the rails add about two pounds to the front of the weapon--which is where you least want weight--so handling is negatively affected to an extent. On the other hand, I do like vertical foregrips.

[CapitalNick]

Actually, a little weight to the front would cut down on upward recoil.

[hibob841]

You mean muzzle climb? In theory, maybe, yes. But at a significant cost to handling. If you made the weapon heavy enough it wouldn't recoil at all, but you also wouldn't want to shoulder it. Anyone who has tried to hold an unsupported rifle accurately on target for more than five seconds or so, knows that 2 pounds (especially up front) makes a huge difference. Muzzle climb can be significantly reduced with straight-pull stocks (a la AR-15) and a well-designed muzzle brake.

[arcticf0x8]

Why? Why do you put this video on here so I can end up drooling in front of my computer and only dream of tossing out around $3000 for an M1A with a scope?

[d2paintballer]

Did they make an upper reciever and bore to accomodate the .308 like the good ole M14 ? And does the SOCOM II mean that it has the front rails stock with the gun?

[doc1buc]

As to your rail question, yes, the SOCOM II model comes with the rail system. And all

M1A's, civilian M14, are chambered for the .308. BTW the rails the lower rails detach in 2 seconds and boom, hunting rifle.

[kuya19]

I love this weapon.

[justus005]

The Muzzle Brake on that thing is awesome.

[artisan09]

is socom an acronym or is it the real name?

[doc1buc]

Special Operations COMmand=SOCOM

[arcticf0x8]

Correct.

"S"pecial

"O"perations

"COM"mand

[Beastiec82]

What kinda range can you get with your Socom II rifle? is 200 yards a lot to ask? thanks

[doc1buc]

What kind of groups are you looking to acheive? If you are looking to knock down a standard silhouette, you are good to go. I haven't shot from a bench rest, but I've put all 20 rounds in the four to five range at 200 yards.

[vaxxon1]

I read a review of the SOCOM II and they state that 300 yds with a 150 grain bullet is still considered quite effective out of this rifle. Heavier bullets and longer distances will suffer. I still want to get one!

[Jager1967]

No, 200 yards is spitting distance for a SOCOM II rifle. In order to really get the most out of this weapon you're going to need a third generation m1a mount, a leopold 10x scope with mil-spec reticle and use either 150 or 165 grain nosler polymer bonded rounds. With this you should get nice three inch groupings out to 400 yards or even 500 yards with favorable conditions, practice and proper breathing technique.

[vaninlapoop]

around 450 yards with a regular m1a

[esh325]

how light is it compared to the M14?

[doc1buc]

It's about the same heft and feel to it.

[CrisisDarkerXIV]

Are there any balance issues?

The front looks pretty heavy to me.

[doc1buc]

Not really. With the foreward grip attached, you can barely notice the difference.

[MarksmanBB]

nice

[Jackosaki]

ive heard of 8in groups at 900 meters

[roninpainbringer]

whats the effective range on that 16 inch barrel?
