I finally finished my M1A project I started a couple of weeks ago. Of course it snowballed into more than I had originally planned.
At first I just wanted long forward rail on the bottom and two short sections on both sides of the surplus fiberglass stock for a sling attachment and bipod and or forward grip. I got that finished and dug out a scope mount I had laying around for a few years. While I love the iron sights on my M1a my eyes just aren't what they used to be so I find scopes much easier to use these days. I stole a 1x4 vortex scope off one of mt ARs and I like it so far even though I haven't use that scope yer on either gun. I don't want some huge high powers thing since it is more of an all around rifle and not a precision rig. Of course the cheek height issue reared it's ugly head and I was looking at some sort raiser. While looking around the Vltor stock was looking interesting but i already have too many stocks for this thing and I didn't want to do any rail fitting on a new stock. I then found they sell just the rear half and you graft it on to your stock. Yahoo, another project to take up my time and money. I swapped out the emod for a CTR with a cheek raiser so I can run the tube in the lower position and just pop off the raiser if I want to. Thee I tried a large battle grip as it feels better to me than the thinner one. Hmm, a little fitting and it's on. I also installed a trigger shoe to get a better feel with the pistol grip. Haven't shot it yet as it sits but hope to this coming thursday So here are the results

| Is that some kind of trigger shoe like the one that H20 man sold a while ago, or is that a whole different trigger assembly? I ask because mine is in an EBR and I find that the only thing I don't like about it is the position the pistol grip puts my finger in for the trigger. |

It was listed as the 2nd version. It's a little pricey but nicely made for what it is and cures the problem some people have with the trigger being too short and narrow. I like how it feels compared to my finger riding on the lower curved part of the factory trigger. |
