Springfield's SOCOM M1-A1. Short barrel with muzzle brake, synthetic stock and removable magazine.

just got done looking these up on line, they seem very interesting. does anyone have any experience with the accuracy? (what should i expect a 100 yds?) thanks jt

I have owned both, I started out with the remington but became displeased with the accuracy, I brought it to a gunsmith to try and tighten up the group and he advised me that the barrels on these rifles are not screwed into the reciever more like a M870. He advised the browning since they are threaded like a bolt action. I now own two one in 30-06 and the other in 338, both are extremely accurate much more than the Rem, they are also better balanced. I only had one failure to extract with the remington but have never had any malfunctions on either BAR and I have had BARs for 24 tears now and have run hundreds of rounds through both. I still miss some of the features that the rem has such as the exposed maf, the bolt relaese and that it locks back when empty. I have the MkI V2 BAR, the MKII have improved the bolt release.

lawcop,

great feedback thanks for taking the time. great idea with the folding stock also! im gonna go look at one this weekend
