M1A SOCOM-16 7.62x51 (.308) Battle Rifle

[murfguitar2000]

Here come the Zombies...

[gregvance]

VERY nice..

[BarbaricEmu]

What type of folding stock is that?

[flashstrikewing]

what a stubby barell yu have

[jrose2020]

Awsome setup.

[volcom21d]

is that scope mount available for other m1a models? and if so where'd you get it?

[Bulwark1911]

Neat little setup !

[vampire847]

I want someone to shorten the gas system on one of these so you could get one with a 10 inch barrel... I think that would be truly nifty lil sbr..

[MercOilbuner]

Does the bolt lock back after the last round on a M1A/M14?

[aswomnessguy]

Could you put a 7.62x51 in a regular .308 m77 hawkeye and it will fire correctly. Im asking because i really think the 7.62x51 is alot cooler of a round and overall much better than a 7.62x39.

[whiplashlightning]

@aswomnessguy 7.62x51 and .308 are essentially the same round. 7.62x39 is totally different.

[arriscado75]

my favorite gun on youtube so far.

[CPRpaintball]

that makes my underwearwet

[ShvettiBalls]

Just the sound of "battle rifle" makes shells jump out of my ejector port.

[AZGunEnthusiast]

Very nice rifle!

[Bonanobi]

HA! so cool- If I am correct you shot this video at Ben Avery's north of Phoenix. I am just finishing setting up my SA M1A and hope to be out there soon to test her out.

[GunWebsites]

@Bonanobi

naw, we shoot there occasionally, but this was in Tucson

Most NRA ranges look the same, and they are both in AZ.. so

[luv3z2p00p]

i want..

[TheSonofthunder7]

Now thats an M1A I can play with. LOL. I would love to have one just like that.

[OnenessNow]

Til death do us part. Peace now.

[TheHeal3152]

I like the gun, Hate the muzzle brake. but the gun is heavy all by its self. I dont know if I would want to add any more weight to it with flash light,bipod, or extra grips hanging off it. I installed a Smith Interiorize flash supressor on mine. The CA. approved Muzzle brake that Springfield put on it, puts the flash and noise in front of my face and obscured my night vision and is a peace of S#*T

[FJCruiser29]

What kind of bi-pod is that? That is exactly the type of pod I am looking for.

[GunWebsites]

@FJCruiser29

normal harris IIRC

[Bonanobi]

@FJCruiser29 Thats a GG&G BiPod- Which mine had just arrived today- If you get one for an SA M1A make sure you get the HD XDS which is about 30 more than the regular one.

It is a solid bipod and worth every penny. Botach has some good prices - no tax- free shipping.

[doctypo]

@FJCruiser29 GG&G

[xnickbox]

what i would do for an m1a...

[EstavanCruz]

It makes me sick to see rifles all decked out like this. Because I don't have one yet lol. Nice outfit.

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

@EstavanCruz Lol I am right there with you.. I got several really nice handguns but I don't have a rifle yet.

[EhrgeizShuriken89]

It looks so plastic to me. Why is that?

[chillinator]

@EhrgeizShuriken89 Probably because it's either gel-coated fiberglass (color molded in) or painted fiberglass - either way, it *is* plastic ;)

[Drummingwizkid]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[REDKNYT]

What is the make and model of your sweet ass stock?

[chillinator]

@REDKNYT It's a McMillan MFS-14 folder - about $570 w/o buttstock. Requires bedding (but the fore-end comes inletted).

[RobbieGTV]

I own one also and I've always been surprised that with all the kit out there for M14s including a million scope mounts that nobody has yet come up with some kind of short rail mount like that. Like maybe something that uses tension like a QD mount but sort of like a squeeze system like that with a QD lever that grabs those bases with that integral rail section on top. Larue should make it. I can dream can't I. lol

[dantheman167]

a gun like that with that scope is probably easily over 5k

[thexceptional1]

@taticalgunguy yeah mi laws are a mess. I just found out today my 16" barrel mossberg 500 I can't put a stock on it for skeet just to try skeet before I buy a gun specific to that purpose. What a pita

[RUSEMANE]

love the set up!

[xmjm0014x]

Dear santa.....



[shkotay]

Ahhh customized, I just heard it :( Tough to do that right for me

[shkotay]

Omg :O WHERE did you get that awesome scope mount? I have the big heavy side mounted one and this thing looks exactly like what I need for my M1A :O Gimme teh goods!!!

[Universe2master]

I just watched that whole video about a kick-ass rifle to see them NOT shoot it... thats a cunt!

[ltxx84]

where did you get your folding stock from?

[fourtyfourmag]

beautiful gun



[MLGindy]

Do you know the name of the company that makes that folding stock mechanisms? It would be greatly appreciated!

[Xxl33tMythicxX]

2:41 that's what she said

[JacobTylerChoate]

Does anyone know this guy or has a way of finding out how to do the custom scope mount like that because that seems like a real weight saver compared to any M1A scope mounts.

[theantinignog]

what optic is that?

[gunnerzz100]

i just........made a mess

[savageguy25]

man hes nervous lol

[MultiSr16]

can u send me a link to the vid of the guy with the m14 with the UBR with cheek riser?? i cant find it anywhere....thats the best m14 on youtube

[huevorosado]

im in love

[zeno57]

He said a what stock??? Sounds like " folt bolter stock "  ..What brand folding stock is this plz?

[MavHunter20XX]

@zeno57 Looks like mcmillan

[zeno57]

@MavHunter20XX I went to thier site and did not see anything like this stock,but much gun stuff and guns are selling out these days.

[MavHunter20XX]

@zeno57 Yeah, I just saw this online right before I saw this flick, it's a Mcmillan Tactical m1a rifle. I don't think the stock comes w/o the rifle.  You may just have to do a google search rather than looking at their site.

[zeno57]

@MavHunter20XX hey, thanx, I might try to do up my ranch rifle like this.

[MavHunter20XX]

@zeno57 I just looked up the voltor and it doesn't look like that stock except for the buttstock, which is part of the modstock line.  The forward end of the rifle is Mcmillan. mcmfamily(dot)com/mcmillan-rif­les-tactical-m1a(dot)php

[zeno57]

@MavHunter20XX Hey your right dude..Its only 3400$ ,lol, and I thought it was going to cost a bundle.

[MavHunter20XX]

@zeno57 Only $3400? Wow. I'm trying not to break $2000 when it comes to a piston semi-auto .308 DMR.

[zeno57]

@MavHunter20XX Have you seen Hickok 45 `s vid on the socom 16? Its worth wachen..

[SuperRip7]

cool 308 rifle.

[soonersfan081]

*sings* "ive been waitingggg for a girl like YOOUUU to come intooo my life"

[TerrbleTrioHerb]

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! ! x infinity

[sw8741]

THIS IS SOOOOOOOO ILLEGAL!! A Semi auto, folding stock, pistol grip, fore grip, and detachable 25 round magazine fed beast!!

Gawddddddd I hate California!! I need to get the hell out of this state!!

[dougefresh091]

I've never seen more crap hanging off one gun.

[GunWebsites]

@dougefresh091

seriously? what would you leave off?

the scope?

the light?

... oh that's all it has

[MrGorillaMan48]

@GunWebsites it has a scope a grip a flashlight and a bipod

[GunWebsites]

@MrGorillaMan48

LOL OMG.. what's next ?

People just look for things to complain about

[speedyelwood]

@GunWebsites Dude, it's a modern take on an M14/M1A. Why doesn't he leave the wood stock on, have less adjustability with regards to his stock, weight more with all the accesories, and have less accessory options? Oh wait. He wouldn't. Because he's a smart man and wouldn't put himself at a disadvantage.

[Anonymous5211987]

@GunWebsites Loose the stock, the sights, the barrel and the trigger, that gun weighs too much :)

P.S. Just kidding, cool gun!

[pac6010]

@GunWebsites How much does that gun cost as it sits ? I wanna know how hard I have to work lol

[diosdadoapias]

@GunWebsites

Americans are overdoing their rifles. Even if they will use their EBR and I will use an old Garand or M1 /M2 carbine. Its all in the user now. They said enhanced yet does it really enhanced its accuracy, power or just its external look. The russians stick to their old AK47- very old looking but very reliable. But of course its america it will not admit that its rifles are sometimes inferior.

[MavHunter20XX]

@diosdadoapias As a matter of fact, the EBR stock does improve accuracy. You know about stock bedding right? Imagine that your action is bolted into the stock....well that is what it essentially does (more like an alum. bedding). And it also allows for adjustability for length of pull and stock comb.

And you're wrong, the Russians now use the AK-74 (newest is the ak-200), which uses the 5.45x39 because of better ballistics and accuracy.  The AK is going being revamped just like the M-14.

[airic554]

@GunWebsites god for bid a gun has a grip or a fucking bi pod hahah

[jadx21]

@GunWebsites or hes pointing out that u said 2 things when it has 4...

[NGUdOlLoFf]

@MrGorillaMan48 which are all pretty necessary maybe not the flashlight but who cares?

[MacBoznyII]

@MrGorillaMan48 would you rather it didn't have the scope? or would it just be better for you not to be able to see in the dark? or how about shoot your wife who's in the room behind the attacker that you happen to be shooting at because you couldn't control your gun? it's his gun, he can do what he wants with it.

[ViolentKisses87]

@GunWebsites Maybe Doug runs his 7.62x51 battle rifle without a stock or perhaps a trigger?

[GunWebsites]

@ViolentKisses87

lol, yea those fancy 'tactical' extras the kids like these days

[MavHunter20XX]

@dougefresh091 Appearantly you haven't seen what the armed forces really mount on their rifles when downrange.

[martyscheuerjr]

@dougefresh091 You are an idiot...there is hardly anything on it.

[reignick1133]

@dougefresh091 obviously you've never had to drag an M-4 for the U.S. army M203 40mm grenade launcher, ACOG, grenade launcher sight l, white ight and AN PEQ 15 = heavy but all deemed needed by certain units.

This rifle is LIGHT & naked by those standards.

While it's not the configuration I personally would choose , I can't knock the user for his choices as all will be useful. there's no "dead weight" to it.

[TEDDYZMAIN]

whats a cup i didnt see what you wear pointing at and yes ik i can go to youtube forgot but imma still post this

[The82ndAA]

Aftermarket front rails or standard?

[JacobTylerChoate]

Hey Hows it going? I have a Socom 16 and i was looking to upgrade to a better stock. I saw that you changed from the Vltor Modstock to the MFS-14 i was wondering which you liked better and why? Also so pros and cons of both if you dont mind. Thanks so much i really appreciate it!!!

[ImWatchinTheTube]

Wow, that's very compact!

[arkons1961]

You are lucky you don't live in California. Your rifle looks great. People that don't shoot a Socom 16 don't know what they are missing! This rifle is a small sledgrhammer and will eat the AR'S 15.

[FROSTBITE23]

too overdone for me....a folding stock, foregrip, flashlight and bipod on a M1A?

[drabzong]

This thing looks a little bit too tricked out...

[InfidelArmz556]

Wow, that sucker looked pretty short to be a 16"!! Sweet rifle!

[Conan568]

Nice rifle, what's the bare rifle sell for?

[sasquatchjake212]

@Conan568 i got mine for 1500.

[Conan568]

@sasquatchjake212

That's not bad at all.

[sasquatchjake212]

@Conan568 yeah that was a Cabelas also lol

[Conan568]

@sasquatchjake212 I like it.

I have a Robinson XCR and I love that rifle.

[WarMachine550]

Can he use those iron sights with that custom scope mount? (without the scope mounted) It kind of looks like the mount might be obstructing his view.

[satyrpain]

Awesome rifle! Like an AR-10 but 10x better!

[MrGieschen]

Found the forestock. Mcmillan. Very nice, I also like the JAE-100 G3.

[13thmistral]

verry nice gun i think

[halolover2dmax]

let me re-iterate, I want one.

And I like the quote at the end, very true. Now try telling that to the Liberals...

[nerfboy98]

where do you get your guns at

[ghostrider433]

This gun isnt in call of duty it stupid

[ikbenharm]

nervous

[ShowMeMy0pponent]

What kind of stock was that? I assume it's aftermarket because of pistol grip and side folding stock.

[mikeymike2710]

modern vers. of m1 garand?

[GunWebsites]

@mikeymike2710

no, modern version of the M1A

[ScopedOUT2]

@GunWebsites Shouldn't there be a change in the title, since .308 Winchester is different from 7.62x51mm NATO, just as the .223 is different from the 5.56x45mm NATO as well?

[webster2020]

@ScopedOUT2 What is the difference of the rounds?

[artilleryjunkie]

@GunWebsites  hahahaha

[Victor2997s]

nice gun

[libertechnet]

really nice rifle; great video, You guys always seem to find the interesting stuff.

[GunWebsites]

@libertechnet

Good friends

Good guns

= good videos !!

[MrSuperfrog6]

What?! Your a a range and didn't fire a shot. Wow

[GunWebsites]

@MrSuperfrog6

we shot for hours, it was AWESOME

[prodiggy13]

@GunWebsites

lucky bastard,

[scottishbadboytracks]

Nasty wee set up

[GunWebsites]

@DtotheJ1234

BTW, more .45acp pistol POV on the way 

[GunWebsites]

@DtotheJ1234

no prob, with the number of comments we get it's hard to know where people are coming from in their posts

[GunWebsites]

@Breakneckhydra1

LOL, he's blocked now.. what a d-pouch

[Mo7Vsta]

is this like a friend of yours or if you see some guy at the ranged with a sweet set up do you go over and ask for a look around? haha

[GunWebsites]

@Mo7Vsta

both and we do more than that sometimes..

[daddydubbs]

Is it possible to get a list of everything on that gun. Didn't get the make of that stock.

[GunWebsites]

@daddydubbs

it's a McMillan.. that was sort of the point of the video, but I guess we overlooked mentioning it..

but we never claimed to be perfect, lol

[webster2020]

@GunWebsites I have been looking for a better stock for my new SOCOM 16, but does anyone know what the price of the JAE's and McMillan's go for?

[shotgunn9]

"that is a nice little package".....thats what she said.....wait a minute haha

[the8jrfan]

I have a loaded m1a and a socom II they are my absolute favorite rifles ever. If I had more money I would get more but two are good for now. More vids on m1a's please.

[rothsmonster]

Great looking rifle. I was reading about some compact .308's today and this one is really nice. You can tell the guy was proud of it, as he should be.

[tr50n3]

this rifle is SO much faster than most of us.

[GunWebsites]

@tr50n3

very true

[GreenEyesRedBeams]

There is something about the M14/M1A I've never held either but I just love them. This has to be my favorite modern M1A that isn't covered in rails and weigh a million tons. I think he said it best there is allot of money in it but it was worth it. It sure looks worth it.

[XxAnythingRandomXx]

@Breakneckhydra1 no it isnt. this is computer. i would if you dumbasses shut the fuck up

[Rektek23]

IMO nothing beats the sexyness of the M1 Garand and the M14/M1A.

whether it be in the old configuration of wood and iron sights or the new "tactical" configuration of short barrels and lights and whatnot. So it's unsurprising for someone like me to say that if that rifle were a girl, I'd ask her to marry me... ^^

[thedtizzel]

prefect



[SamInBuda]

Now that is how you do an M1A!

[videosbythe5]

That looks so different from a normal m14,you know.I like mine with a longer barrel and a wood finish and 20 round mag.plus a normal wooden stock and a sniper scope

[GunWebsites]

@videosbythe5

nothing wrong with those either.. nothing beats the classics

but this is a SOCOM, so it started life as a polymer version anyway

[videosbythe5]

@GunWebsites what oes socom mean again?like a tactical carbine?

[Breakneckhydra1]

@videosbythe5

SOCOM

The United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) is the Unified Combatant Command charged with overseeing the various Special Operations Commands (SOC or SOCOM) of the Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps of the United States Armed Forces. The command is part of the Department of Defense. USSOCOM is headquartered at MacDill Air Force Base in Tampa, Florida.

[GunWebsites]

@videosbythe5

Special

Operations

COMmand

IIRC, they start out with polymer stocks and 16 inch barrels

SOCOM II is a shorter version

[videosbythe5]

@GunWebsites okay thanks!

[webster2020]

@videosbythe5 I know you found your answers from Breakneckhydra and GunWebsites, but SOCOM is one of the many abbreviations that the military uses. Springfield Armory chose to name this version of the M14/M1A because they hoped to promote the rifle to the Special Ops groups in the military. And so far, it is catching on. Especially with the Navy/Marines.

[Jade75150]

@GunWebsites im not complaining i just wish you would add links to buy the stuff you show case, i know its alot of work , but just a wish .

[GunWebsites]

@Jade75150

if we did stuff like that we could only pump out 3 vids a day, and that's weak sauce IMO

[sparkymmilarky]

Looks expensive.,,,

[ThaddeusMcSpalding]

That is one classy rig. Top quality additions, and everything has a purpose. All enhancements, nothing to bog the gun down.

[usmccapdevil]

I have gone back and fourth on a m1a, ar 10 or bolt gun, That socom is sweet

[webster2020]

@usmccapdevil Did you know that you can change the M14/M1A from a semi auto to a bolt like action. You only have to adjust the gas plug to allow the gas to escape behind the round... giving it greater range and a little more accuracy.

[iamhatedbyteachers]

Why doesn't he get a magpul angled forgrip??

[GunWebsites]

@iamhatedbyteachers

This guy is aware of what is out there, and he knows what he likes to shoot ..

[thatguynamedbrent]

@iamhatedbyteachers Because there's no such thing as the "best" when it comes to ergonomics, it usually comes down to personal preference. Magpul makes fantastic products, but they are not the be all and end all in the industry. VLTOR, Tango Down, Magpul, and many others make very high quality products, but different things naturally attract different people. I'm a big fan of the Magpul VFG, but I also really like the stubby vertical grips like the one in the video.

[iamhatedbyteachers]

@thatguynamedbrent if u saw the way he holds his M1A the angled forgrip would best suite him, and I never said magpul was the best

[thatguynamedbrent]

@iamhatedbyteachers If the AFG suited him best.... don't you think he'd have one of those on his weapon instead of a stubby vert grip?

[iamhatedbyteachers]

@thatguynamedbrent maybe he hasn't tried it I'm just making a suggestion to help the fellow gun owner I don't want to get into a argument about this

[webster2020]

@iamhatedbyteachers well, that particular grip will give the gun more weight to the front. And it is already heavy enough. However, the smaller vertical grips allow for better control of the front heavy weapon.

[Zarthalad]

Sweet gun!

[Mrcaffinebean]

Very nice setup!

[ballisstix]

@comedycorner6969 His video. He can say what he wants.

[PaleHorseWC2]

That girl looks heaaavy. To each his own.

[GunWebsites]

@PaleHorseWC2

it is heavy compared to all other rifles.. but if you compare this one to other 7.62x51 battle rifles.. this one is a hot rod (ans a sweet one at that)

[PaleHorseWC2]

@GunWebsites For you, this or a SCAR 17?

[GunWebsites]

@PaleHorseWC2

tough,, on the surface a Scar heavy.. but I really like this too, so if it was a real offer I would have to think hard and weigh it all out

[webster2020]

@GunWebsites The reason for the front heaviness is so that the shooter can compensate for recoil of the rifle. Basically, this allows the shooter to get back on target and prevents damage to the wrist in the back. The rifle recoils (rotates) at the exact point where the shooter is holding the rifle.

[MrMase12]

"that is a nice little package" thats what my girlfriend told me :(

[SEALofthefuture1962]

@MrMase12 Little... haha...

[GunWebsites]

@MrMase12

as soon as I said it, I knew the "TWSS" comments would flow, lol

[EverythingisFire]

Cool setup!

[davidheith]

BURN!.... and nice video of a sweet rifle. Would love to add one to my collections.. thanks for the videos

[GunWebsites]

@davidheith

no prob, sorry there are soo many of them , lol

[GunWebsites]

@DrakeWheeler

no harm no foul.. carry on

[GunWebsites]

@GRUxGUNZ

wonder why you were blocked? that last comment was why..

double plus glad you are not watching our vids anymore

[davism4a1]

that bolt release is the shit
