Anyone who is a fan of the M14/M1A family of firearms no doubt knows of Smith Enterprise. And, after seeing Smith Enterprise’s custom work... Continue reading at www.thearmorylife.com/smith-e...
Welcome to my world! Ron and Andy built my Crazy Horse M21A5 in 2009... I was so impressed with that build that I had them build me their version of the SOCOM 16 in 2010. This stubby M14 made it's world debut at SHOT 2011 and it has SEI's 4 groove 1: 10 16.25" barrel chambered for M118-LR. I have it in a Blackfeather RS chassis stock and I have shot sub-MOA groups @ 100 yards with SEI's Wind Talker suppressor attached. Ron and Andy are the best, enjoy your SEI rifles!
Can anyone tell me approximately how much the build Jeremy had done might run me ? Ok, please no "if you have to ask you can't afford it" crap. I'm an old man and don't have the disposable income other people do to spend on their toys. I would love to have this done to my M1A Socom. You younger guys don't know how lucky you are to still have the income to be able to this.
New sub .. I have had my SOCOM for over 10 years .. love it for many of the reasons you mention .. but those look like some very common sense upgrades. I will be in AZ for a couple weeks in dec .. it may be time to drop my rifle off at SE. Thank you. Enjoyed the video and will be checking out more of yours.
I can appreciate your love for the Socom i have one also, our interest in the shorter barreled rifles prompted me to peek your interest in the M-14k, its designed by Tim La France of La France industries ( he's a pretty interesting guy ) it's built on a Smith receiver and a few other changes you'll find intriguing, i have one of the few made and no doubt my favorite rifle, check it out think you'll like it.
Oh boy was I excited to see the title of this vid. I own a Socom 16 and absolutely love it. This rifle has been bashed hard in the past and I just don't understand why. I understand there a lemons out there but you can find that in any high production firearm. I had the pleasure of talking to Ron a few years back and was planning on sending my Socom to Smith Enterprises for some of the same work you had them perform. Unfortunately for me I wasn't able to afford it at the time. But now things are different and after your review I have become more motivated to finally have the work done by S.E.. If I may ask, how long did it take to have the work done and how comparable is the S.E. muzzle brake to the Stock break? Any chance you could provide a parts list for your sleeper mods?
