Thank you so much for the time to make this video! I bought my Springfield M1 yesterday and I'm super excited for it's arrival next week. Super informative video! Cheers!
Excellent video. I like your straightforward explanation, and also appreciate you stopping the video, to add still shots of what you're doing. Well done!
I am interested in purchasing the Springfield Armory Scout Squad rifle when I get the money. I always make a point to field strip any semiautomatic firearm I purchase because it is important to learn how to clean and maintain the firearm. I do before firing the weapon. Great detailed video.
Thanks for your video of disassembling M1a/ M14 I bought mine M1A two months ago and video helps me a lot for cleaning after shooting today. It is really simple and reliable rifle 👍
Excellent, informative video. I have a Socom 16, I've followed your instructions, and I've found the "sweet spot", however I cannot get the op rod to release. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance...Clint
I wish I could help, it’s tough without seeing the gun firsthand. The first few times I broke mine down it took quite a bit of wiggling and working around before I finally got it loose. Good luck and I hope you get this worked out. Thanks for coming by!
I wouldn’t think so, but I’ve never seen one in person so I can’t say for sure. If it causes that many problems, it might be time to take it to a gunsmith. Thanks for coming by!
I could have bought one of these for $600.00 at a sale 20 years or so ago when our local vfw sold off some of their things , it had the fake selector switch , but they cut a notch in the receiver for the the selector rod stub , it looked like they cut it with a Dremel tool and a chisel , But now I wish now i had bought it anyway.
Shew that sounded like an opportunity you regret and I know I’d feel the same way. Looking back over the years I’ve passed on a couple bargains that I thought would be a bad idea but had other thoughts later. Thanks for sharing and thanks for coming by!
I hadn’t really heard of it, I was on the market for an M1A and found a guy willing to trade so it’s the one I ended up with. No complaints though! Thanks for coming by!
It is under a little tension, almost like a spring. Maybe oil it at the point where the trigger guard connects to the rifle on both sides and let it sit for a while. If it still won’t release you might want to have a gunsmith look at it. Thanks for coming by!
@@cornfromajar3222 I learned that placing a screwdriver or another length of metal in to the small hole in the rear of the trigger guard - and pulling up - will release the guard. It works very well.
