Most of the ones I've seen for sale have been sporterized, and I know its sacrilegious, I don't mind the sporterized Enfield look.

Which brings me to this..

how much is it?

around 2500€

>>27937937
people generally value memories more than objects, the kind you gain from vacations. /k/ommandos however value guns, which last forever if properly maintained.

M1A. Love the look of it growing up. Saved and bought myself one. Took it to the range maybe twice and now it sits in the safe. Been there for about 8 years. Wished I knew more about rifles back then. Expensive to feed and not easily accessorized. Looking into getting an AR and possibly in .22lr but not sure because of the ammo situation.

Dude are you fucking serious?

Don't get a .22LR AR, get a stripped or completed lower and buy a .22LR upper for it, that way you can switch up to .223 or other calibers when/if you want. Also, guy at my LGS told this, get a .22LR upper and not a .22lr conversion kit, so you don't have to constantly re-zero everyone time you swap calibers.

I can confirm. If you're shooting 7.62x51/.308 its gonna be like $.60/$1 round. For those who like to shoot their rifles a lot, that adds up.

Unless they're sighting in, a lot of guys at my range will do something like this
>Shoot once
>look through scope
>wipe down the gun
>talk with the range buddies
>shoot again...
>tweak the scope a bit
>repeat

>>27937421
Shouldve bought that vz when they were $400 for one with like five mags
Should've bought that bulgy ak in 5.45 with a chrome barrel a few weeks ago for like $500 or something
That's about it

Just buy Wolf then

>>27938615
I said to buy wolf because I have fired it out of M1As no problem. What about surplus 7.62 Nato? SGAmmo has a bunch for cheap.
>>
>>27938631
I'm not op. I'm just bantering about the m1a because my garand in .308 doesn't cycle steel. I don't know if his rifle really can.
>>
>>27938660
>Garand in 308
Is it an Original Navy conversion?
>>
>>27938405
>expensive to feed and not easily accessorized

Welcome to the world of guns. Anything not 22, 9mm, .223. 7.62x39 is gonna cost money to shoot. And not every gun needs 3 grips, 2 flashlights, and 4 optics.

>>27938615
The reason I chose PTR91 over M1A. Also $4 mags is pretty sweet.
>>
>>27938672
It's from the CMP
>>
>>27938672
Not him, but I thought the Navy ones were just experimental wit hthe sleeves. The 308 conversions are actual conversions.

Fuck off and die frog posters.
