M1A

[ctafoya]

So I finally picked up an M1A SOCOM. I want to install a Sage EBR stock on it. Has anyone here done it? Is it worth it as far as accuracy and options for mounting scopes, bipods, etc? I may just throw on an Aimpoint up front and call it good.

You have a particularly good looking version of the M1A.

Just use it and be happy you’ve added it to the collection.

So for some answers to your questions..... Worth is pretty subjective with the stock.  I had one on my 22” Loaded and it was nice stock but heavy AF.  It doesn’t have the POI shift that you get with a normal stock and bipod on that gun.  It makes mounting bipods and optics better. It’s does tighten up your groups.  I think it would be better on your 16” gun.  And lastly it’s kinda pricey and hard to find in stock.  Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. I found a few for $7-$800ish. I've also been looking at the Vltor setup. About the same price as the EBR setup, but I'm sure its a lot lighter. I will for sure get one of the two. I threw an Aimpoint on it earlier and didn't like the way it blocks the iron sights. With the Vltor and Sage setup I can still utilize the irons as backups.

Decided to go another route. 

GG&G bipod, TNVC cheek riser, Springfield scope mount, Magpul sling, Vortex scope that came discounted with the purchase, and night force rings. I'll update when I get my loads figured out.

Nice setup for sure.
