suppressed m1a
paperwork came through on the omega i was waiting on.
it's the first can that i plan to mount on multiple hosts...one being an old m1a socom2.
did my homework months ago. the socoms use a one off gas cylinder lock that has the front sight and muzzle device all in one.
picked up a gas cylinder lock that:
A. allows the use of regular m1a front sights
B. has 5/8" muzzle threads
found a gas plug that has gas adjustments.
yesterday evening i was able to get to the range.
this thing has a 16" barrel and can light cigars at 8' with a robust report to say the least.
it's now hearing safe....with a stiff load pushing 168grn slugs. i have the gas turned out enough that it doesn't cycle without the can in place. might even load some sub-sonics for it.
this round was strictly a function check. i'll play around some this weekend to see how it shoots paper.it's only metal, we can out think it....

Re: suppressed m1a
Very nice! I see you have the breach shield to deal w/the gas and the short "socom" length schuster. I'm running the same exact items on my scout squad. How much does the gas bother you? Some M14/M1A fanatics don't take to suppressing them due to the complaint of gas in the face. To me it's not really that bad. I'm running an AAC 762-SD on mine.

Re: suppressed m1a
the breach shield is a must. tried a few rounds without it, the face gas could probably take a hat off your head. with it i didn't really notice any.
it's only metal, we can out think it....
