Todays box of goodies came in.......

....and heres what was inside:






Did some creative bartering and ended up with this Socom II in a Troy MCS. Came with the EoTech w/ box and papers, a complete compliment of Sadlak tools, 5 Springfiled brand 20 rounders with the mag pulls and a jar of lubriplate.

Now my biggest issue is do I keep it in "battle rifle" form or ditch the bolt on goodies and put a nice 3-9 power scope on it with a bipod?????

Wow.....awesome!

Either way, it's awesome!

Looks awesome.

Now, THATS a rifle to get excited about!
I have not seen an M1A dressed like that before.
As the short barreled SOCOM is not a sniper rifle, the current sighting system seems appropriate for the current configuration.
A 2.5x LER scope might be a useful alternative, but a 3x9 scope just doesn't seem right on such a battle rifle as yours.
Your pictures have caused a bit of drool to appear & soak my T-shirt.

Good looking rifle. I'd keep the eotech.

Looks good to me, but I do like the regular ol wood stock better

Lucky guy!!!

I guess there is a SOCOM in there somewhere........

Sorry, too many doodads for me.............

.

Cool! I bet it took a lot of food stamps to get all that delivered!

Thanks guys for all the compliments. I'm happy with it. I think I'll keep the eotech on it like oldironsights said.

I do agree that it is a bit busy Subgunfan, and it is heavy, heavier than I like actually. I have a standard M1A that I enjoy very much. I usually break it out when I watch Full Metal Jacket.....haha

Cottonmouth, thanks but you guys wouldn't believe me if I told yall but I have only $51 out of pocket for this rifle.......creative bartering.

I'd be glad to double your money on it, today!

J.B.

Looks heavy!!

But is neat lookin. Think id rather have it in stock form and id bet you could recoup a lot of your money from selling off the extras...

Wow! Do you get a box of goodies like that every day?

Wish I did!

It is heavy. The standard SOCOM comes in at 9.3 lbs and according to Troy's website the exact same stock I have "only adds 1.5 lbs" so that brings it to 10.8 lbs. I weighted this gun in at 12.6 in its current configuration. I could get it down to the 10.8 maybe if I ditch the flashlight and laser. I'll see what that does and report back.

If you decide to ditch the Eotech inbox me. I'm in the market for a used optic.

I plan on keeping the EoTech unless I can trade it for a micro aim point to cut weight. Sorry.
