continued- i earned the title of united states marine in oct. 1973 ,at the time i was 17 my friends from high school i left behind were shooting pool and i was shooting an m-14 or m1 a i shot 228 at the rifel range@ parris island that was high expert @ that time, i loved that weapon,you can shoot a fly off a cup @ 500 yards ,these guys dont know what they have and they sure dont know how to use the sling correctly, i'll bet all of them have black and blue shoulders.but like i said above $ talks
@mixflip im drinking coffee, you have a very serious weapon, just so you know in 1777 george washington ordered the springfield armory to be built and to produce single shot muskets then in the 70's the reese family bought the buisness and brought the buisness back ,i carried that weapon over 35 years ago and have great respect of the weapon i feel has no match yescan get a shorter lighter weapon but i personaly like a long range weapon engoy ithave respct for it was carred into war by brave men
@1973c0g Thanks for your service devil dog. Oooh Rah!!! Semper Fi. Even though I was a Navy squid (FMF Corpsman) I spent alot of time at Camp Pendleton, MCB Kaneohe Bay, Camp Hansen and Camp Fuji. with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Brigade...back when it still existed. Marines were always good to me.
my question is one of life , why is it that people who can get things that are the crem de crem of life are so stupid about what they have all ways think that wow i got this now im a professional and no one can tell me any thing about it! case and point , when i was released from the marine corps in 1975 i became a otr trucker,after many years i started hauling private cars i picked up a beautiful older corvette the owner didnt know what free play in the clutch was but could afford it plus
@MP40MayShootBullets This one is actually an M1A. The nameM1A is exclusive to Springfield Armory. Not all of these style of guns are called M1A's. My Polytech is stamped M14-S. No where on it does it say M1A. I put both names just so people who searched for either one would find the video.
I have a M1A Super Match on a McMillan stock and hit 18"X24" steal plates out to 400 with Iron sites. And of course you'd have to explain to the cop that he needs to focus on the front site and not the target. Ha, law enforcement.
That rifle is why I own 2 (.Deadly ) USMC I won many shoots May be big money now but it will bring you home. I have one in ,308 and the 30,06 If the s.h.i.t. hits the fan this is my M.B.R.
My bad, I meant to type M1. (it's been a long day haha) I first heard of these modified M1s from a retired Navy guy. Apparently the barrel inserts are still available if you look for them.
@SequelFinalNight Im not an M14 expert but the M1A comes in various configurations (standard, national match, scout, SOCOM etc etc) The M21 as far as I know is a national match mil-spec rifle. I dont know which is technically better. When shooting a $1500 high quality hyper accurate 7.62/.308 rifle like the M14 style rifle... better is in the eye of the beholder and better will make more of a difference with the shooters skills more than the quality of the gun.
@mixflip Basically waht I meant was it resembled a Garand that somebody had attached a mag to and fitted for 7.62. So thank you for answering my question.
@mixflip Disclaimer: don't take this for face value, I might be remembering wrongly. I have read in a few firearm magazines here and there that tactical engagements in Afghanistan have begun to lengthen past the 5.56's effective range. Certain branches of the military have taken to refurbishing and modernizing M14s into M14 Enhanced Battle Rifles and distributing them to Designated Marksmen for enhanced longrange capability. An article I read said they'd run out of their stores. What I'd read.
@JoeTheMeatbag They might be running low, but I doubt they're running out. Bill Clinton ordering thousands of them being cut up probably wouldn't help the situation...
As I understand it, the military's stocks of old M14s have dried up, and now they're purchasing these guns for conversion into M14 EBRs for use in multipurpose engagements.
Now, my question is this rifle looks pretty similar to a 7.62mm mag-fed Garand. Does it function in a similar fashion? Could someone clear me up on this?
@JoeTheMeatbag I never heard of military M14's drying up? They cant sell them to civilians in the first place so I cant imagine where they are going? Usually the military will either sell arms to other countries or mothball them in case they need them again? I doubt any NATO country is buying M14's when they can buy M16's and 5.56 ammo cheaper. As for mag fed Garands? I never heard of them??? An M14 is essentially a mag fed Garand as far as the receiver, bolt and op rod system go.
@mkcsu27 Huh? M14's are not modified. They all shoot 7.62 NATO and they all are designed to use 20 round box magazines. Are you confused with another gun?
@djflexentertainment If you live in the south area you can go out in the desert just south of the M resort too. I havent been there but I see alot of videos from that area.
Man i want one of those damn rifles so bad, just like your buddy said they are some of the most accurate rifles i have ever fired woithout a scope and smooth ass hell.
@starwarsman96 A springfield armory M1A starts at about $1500 brand new before taxes and background check. A used one can be had for probably around $1100 to $1300? A used Norinco or Polytech M14-S can be had for about $700 and up.
Thanks for the info. I've been pondering for awhile on buying an M1A and your excellent video put me over the top and I have a Springfield M1A Loaded SS ordered and due in next week. Thanks for the video, information, and great shooting!
@mixflip no way. i just ought one ,still cant pick it up til 11-21-11 and it has polymer stock . its impossible to find walnut stock and mine went out the door at 1,900 dollars
if you want to watch real guns being shot you have to flick through all the video game shit first (i do love video games to death but i hate when i look up a gun theres always video game guns)
When people a talking about shooting zombies they are referring to democrats.The bastards that dont want you armed.It started years ago with Bob hope..Just search Bob hope zombies on youtube you will see.
@runninonempiy I heard that before. It also can represent the rioters of an economic collapse. Its politically insensitive to talk about shooting armed street thug rioters who want to burn down your house with Molotov cocktails but call them zombies and the sky is the limit and what nasty things you could do lol.
All of you guys...awesome! Go to an Appleseed Shoot. Rifle Marksmanship Clinic. RWVA dot ORG a 501C3 organization. Get instruction on NPOA, respritory pause, sling use, 3 positions...(same as USMC.) and how to make hits out to and beyond 500 yards with iron sights. Watch on You Tube "The Appleseed Project" We are Turning American back into a Nation of Riflemen! $70. for 2 full days of instruction. Women $10., under 21 $5, Military free.
I hate nerds with their guns dreaming some day of a zombie apocalypse. Guess what, you nerds with your guns are gonna be the first ones infected! haha
The M1A is an excellent rifle but it suffers from a design flaw - the bolt roller cam is held on by a tiny, cheap c-clip. You have to grease the hell out of it because if something causes it to bind in the op-rod and it pops off - the rifle is inoperable. This is why when Ruger copied it for the Mini-14, he dropped the roller cam and made it a solid part of the bolt.
@99thJediWarrior 7.62 is kinda overkill for a zombie dont you think? All you need to do is destroy the brain. 7.62 is kinda big and heavy and how much of it can you realistically carry? A samurai sword might be better since it never runs out of ammo and never jams and it is pretty good at removing heads from bodies...especially decomposed rotting dead bodies lol.
@mixflip Well for one thing, it's better to keep the zombies at a distance than to have them any closer. Plus, it's like being a sniper without the scope. And also, isn't destroying the brain the best way to kill a zombie? Isn't that true?
Good love the M1A. Had weapons card for a M14 for a while, was simply a joy to have. Don't own one, but I do own a M1 Garand and both rifles are just amazing to shoot. The sights are incredible and it really is a point and shoot weapon. With the proper tuning, ammo, and shooter, you can do incredible things with the M1A/M1 Garand. Nice vid, beautiful rifle, and great shooting, keep it up!
@MrUSAJAY I think his is the standard. I am not happy with all the junk people leave in the desert and we try to clean up and leave it slightly cleaner than we found it but its a hopeless battle I think? I look forward to a video of your new M1A.
one of my favorite guns of all time, extremely accurate very very little kick, and the kick is very smooth, at one of ranges in my town the longest it goes out is 75 yards and we where hitting a 3in by 3in every time
That is one beautiful piece of hardware man. The M-14 has been on my wish list for a very long time, but the price has always got the best of me. Hopefully someday soon I'll be the proud owner of one.
@TeamPlayer1011 A Springfield Armory M1A will be around $1500 depending on your location? And the condition of the gun? And the version you select? (SOCOM? Scout? 20" standard rifle? Match grade competition?)
wow... look at the mess people have made. All of the shotgun shells, plywood, BATH TUBS and a soap bottle. I can't believe that; soo sad. I don't understand how difficult it is to clean up your own shizzz.
@lateraider Yeah I have been slacking on the videos because of moving, family in town, a newborn and work. I have vids in the works...so stay tuned. Thanks for watching.
@swiftcoyote Its a 7.62x51 (basically a .308) so its got some recoil. The good thing is that its a steel and wood gun that is fairly heavy so the weight soaks up alot of the felt recoil. The muzzle will rise up quickly under rapid fire thats for sure. I'd use it more for precision long shots vs rapid fire close quarters if I had a choice.
Mixflip, I enjoy all your videos, keep up the excellent work man.

@jimmi161 If you have to sell things to buy the gun, then you probably won't be able to afford to shoot the gun.

@AKSKSMAN You got that right, I've had my Bushmaster xme2s for a year now and have only been able to put 10k rounds through it.

@andrademeza Oh it's cool dude. I was also saying you can shoot the .308 Winchester in an M1A/M-14.
Michaeldean88 7 months ago
and that was not even trying, this is he gun they us in shooting competitions that go out to a 1000 yards
demon07nd 7 months ago
one of my favorite guns of all time, extremely accurate very very little kick, and the kick is very smooth, at one of ranges in my town the longest it goes out is 75 yards and we where hitting a 3in by 3in every time
demon07nd 7 months ago
That is one beautiful piece of hardware man. The M-14 has been on my wish list for a very long time, but the price has always got the best of me. Hopefully someday soon I'll be the proud owner of one.

TeamPlayer1011 7 months ago
@TeamPlayer1011 A Springfield Armory M1A will be around $1500 depending on your location? And the condition of the gun? And the version you select? (SOCOM? Scout? 20" standard rifle? Match grade competition?)

That range is a nasty shithole. Amazing how irresponsible people are regarding their trash

@brycro I agree...its sad that people bring stuff out there to shoot up then just leave it. They really trash up the desert.

How is the recoil?
swiftcoyote 11 months ago
@swiftcoyote Its a 7.62x51 (basically a .308) so its got some recoil. The good thing is that its a steel and wood gun that is fairly heavy so the weight soaks up alot of the felt recoil. The muzzle will rise up quickly under rapid fire thats for sure. I'd use it more for precision long shots vs rapid fire close quarters if I had a choice.
