Especially since for all practical purposes the full auto capability of it was not used. Besides the caliber conversion and the detachable box mag which was a nice change compared to the enblock Garand clip, the only other real obvious upgrades were the more vented top cover to aid in barrel cooling and the flash suppressor/muzzle brake. That's fairly nice... I've shot my Garand at night a few times and the muzzle flash is to say the least, impressive. But really all the changes are more or less evolutionary rather than revolutionary. Perhaps owning and appreciating a Garand as well as the M1A makes me less likely to be offended also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-18156589355678174182016-07-16T18:01:20.774-04:002016-07-16T18:01:20.774-04:00I don't think a FAL or a FAL owner would get v...I don't think a FAL or a FAL owner would get very upset.Weer'd Beardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528978001340070552noreply@blogger.com
