M1A
I love my Garand.
It stands to reason I should also love the M14 and its neutered cousin, the M1A.
I don't.
It just doesn't suit me at all. It's nothing I can put into words either. It really is a product improved Garand.
I have owned two now and kinda did the, "oh yeah, that's why I sold the first one" thing with the second one.
The first was a Polytech M14S. I blamed its Chinese origin for why I disliked it.
The second was a Springfield. Being from Illinois didn't make it better.
None of this is keeping me from thinking that, maybe, I should get another one. Maybe from Fulton this time. Who else makes one?
For the record, I would want it old school. Walnut stocked not SAGE. Iron sights not DMR.

The M14 with walnut stock is on my "Guns I Want" list.
