I had a Garand a few years ago. Once the allure of actually owning one wore off, it just became a pain in the ass because of the clips. I sold it and used the proceeds to buy the M1A I have today. Love the platform and the power and the old school feel, but I also love the convenience of magazines. Clips are the 8-tracks of the gun world.

As long as it isn’t a fiscally irresponsible purchase, I support it. Vail, YouTube how to take apart and clean/oil it and it will be a reliable unit for you. |

My nephew got one for his birthday because he just had to have one. Less than a year later he was going to take a bath trading it in on the next latest greatest gun he had to have. So I bought it from him. And I’m glad I did. |

The first rifle I had in the Army was an M14. Loved...LOVED that damned rifle. When we transitioned over to the M16 - I wasn't impressed. Then I began humping it through the bush and the mud. I began to like it. Bought a M1A around 7 years ago and I love to take it to Wyoming to shoot long range. It, My 700 and my AR10 are my favorite "long rangers".... *Ooops*. Forget to mention the 7mm Mauser - God I love shooting that old girl! |

I'm going to pick up my S&W base model M&P 15 AR tomorrow, saw that they also have this in stock. Thoughts? I can't find anything to tell me if the 5+1 mag capacity is the max I can put on here or if I can go bigger. Anyone have thoughts on 6.8 as opposed to 5.56?

I personally have no experience with the 6.8 mm. My main thought is that it will be harder to find ammo for it. Of course, the opposite could be true; since it's not as common as .223, it might not sell out as fast. You should definitely check into that. Other than that, its a beautiful, and highly functional, rifle. It has an improved stock and free float rail, and doesn't have the carry handle or built in front sight. You're much better off with the end-to-end rail, which will enable you to place an optic and back-up iron sights. And Daniel Defense is an excellent brand. I really didn't care for the other one at all; it was far too overpriced for being a very basic rifle. Ammo issue aside, I definitely prefer this one. |

What about this one?
https://www.nwarmory.com/product/dia...product_detail Much better price, and it's a .556. |
