Springfield Armory M1A Socom 16 meets the X-Products 50 round .308 drum! 

Literally the most beautiful weapon ever created. I can’t wait for this to be my first rifle.

Every American should have one of these

I think every honorably discharged American Serviceman ought to be issued the current rifle and pistol upon leaving active duty.

The M-14 is basically a magazine fed M-1; the.308 basically is a sized down 30;06 In Vietnam for my first 3 months I carried a fully automatic version which had a switch for safe, semi and full auto! The rifle was in no way Cherry. The stock was in bad shape and the firing pin was chipped; I requisitioned a replacement stock and installed a new firing pin. The rifling wasn't as sharp as it would have been new; however, the piece could drive nails at 300 yards. I respected that Rifle! Three months later in November of 1966, our unit was issued the M-16 I jokingly held it by it's caring handle and acted as if it were a field radio. My Major was not amused! Although the M-16 was a good weapon, I personally prefer the M-14. .223 doesn't have the knock-down power of the .308.

Santa I've been good this year

If only I wasn't broke 😂

My buddy has one, I fell in love with it after shooting it. Seriously one of the nicest if not the nicest straight out of the box rifles I’ve had the pleasure of sending some downrange with.

Solid Video...and I watched all the ads for you😎🤙🏼

Thats one badass M1A, especially with the drum

so much freedom being dispensed

Just when I thought I wanted my first rifle to be AK or an AR variant...just got a better idea. Thank u

Theres a reason they make the m1a socom16. Not a marksman rifle but I'd take it over an ar or even an ak for damn near any purpose any hour of the day and every day of the week. There is something about the look and especially the feel of a 'traditional' rifle. Feels as natural as a spear.

I WANT FOUR OF THEM!! I first trained, in USMC Boot Camp, with the M-14...and LOVED IT! And THEN I got to fie a full Belt M-60 from the hip!! I had to go thake a cold shower! LOL!! I was 'spoiled'...and when I later trained with the M-16 it was like shooting a 22LR varmint rifle... Yes, I understand all the reasons for the smaller, lighter rifle, and ammo... but I still want the FIRE POWER!!

Now That's A 100% BAD AZZ Rifle! Thanks for the Great Review!

The 141 grain boat tail hollow point have some of the tightest groups if you go lighter than that they tend to rise if you go heavier they go left to right all around badass rifle that has stood the test of time absolutely love these

Lots to LOVE about this rifle, GREAT review, sir!!!

Now That.s a Rifle! I Love The SOCOM! Thanks for sharing!

This is the first time I've ever heard of the "Ghost ring" - and thank you for bringing it up.

Difficult to comment.when i am drooling all over my phone... Such a beautiful piece od freedom.

The first rifle I ever shot was the M14. Since then, it has remained my alltime fave. Yes, my Daniel Defense and all the other high tech rifles I own are awesome, but there is just something about the M14 that is special. Like the first time you got a kiss from a girl, you never forget that. This is one good platform.

50 rounds of freedom

Massively over priced at $1700 for a firearm that required no engineering by the company that produces it. Realistically, the gun should be priced for around $1200

That sure looks like a helluva lot of fun. Thanks for sharing this!

Why dont us veterans get these for free when we become civilians? :(

Thats the sound of FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like an alternator lol

That was a good presentation. Makes me want to get one.

That's always been one of my favorite guns to shoot and now it's even more fun! That was the gun that I got introduced the 7.62 round and I think that it is a great gun to introduce young shooters.

The socom m1 is probably my favorite gun. I love it.

Cool rifle and drum. Thank you for sharing. God bless you.

What a beautiful fun gun. I remember her when I was a little boy shooting my grandfather's M1 such a fun weapon to learn how to shoot on

That combines classic with modern that firearm is a thing of beauty perfect to hunt with😍

This is one of the coolest firearms ever!

Do Not forget the Springfield 1903 30:06 'Match' rifle. That is an ICON!

Oh, man, i gotta tell you i really like your introduction of this wonderful rifle.

You made me rethink the socom, I initially wanted the full barrel but your video kind of swayed me. Great video

Why aren't there more videos like this nowadays? Quality content!

this is the best weapon I have ever used, accurate and best demage, of all time.

One of my top 5 Fav guns!! Also one of my top 5 fav gun channels, your the first by the way, love your channel and how you demonstrate what you say!! Thanks Brother!! God bless you and your family, and bless many years to come of our gun freedoms!!

You're so blessed America....never give it up!!!

i think i found my new rifle.

Wow! Im in love. Thats it im moving out of California!

* Joygasim * You emptied the drum! Thank God. I was thinking of what to get myself, this is it. * Subbed *

New to your channel, but SO glad I found you. That is my next rifle!! What a beauty, thank you for the demonstration. God Bless

I am halfway through the video and I swear, the Garand better have the sweet, sweet, ping of its predecessor.

I love this set up, though the M1A Scout (the 18.5" barrel version) is my preferred M1A.

It’s on my list. I’ve been patiently waiting

I absolutely love me socom 16 man when you shot that 50 end drum that thing was like clock work

I was debating on buying an AK or a Socom 16 now I’m definitely getting the Socom 😂

What a beauty

THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL PIECE OF EQUIPMENT US ARMY

I fired a Springfield Armory M1A and the action was as smooth as water on ice. This is one of the very few rifles I would buy.

Alls I’m thinking is “I wish I had enough money to dump 50 rounds of 7.62 for fun”

I'll take one of those instead of health care for all!!! Pew Pew!!!

that drum with that rifle...is like the best combo powerhouse you cold have as a high-power very accurate an packing a punch an now many rounds combo.im sold getting one in black.

Beautiful rifle.... I think this rifle just jumped to the top of my wishlist!

wow what a combo! can you do a part 2 on that by adding optics? thanks

m1 garand.my first rifle in Greek Army 1996 :)

This is one of my favorite modern rifles

That drum mag looks like a dang alternator 😂

With some modifications this could have been the US version of AK47.

It may not leave you disappointed but it will leave your wallet feeling that way for sure!

Awesome review sir ! I'm a believer now.

Jawdropping ! Addictive to watch. This review is utterly enticing to purchase both items.

That drum looks like a alternator from the front

Man I would love one of these. They’re just too expensive for me to afford it. Maybe one day though. Hopefully before they and every other gun is banned. Which is gonna happen at some point if we don’t stop sitting on our butts.

this thing is gorgeous, m1 garand would be proud to pass down the torch of classic and epicness

Man that is one sweet machine u've got there brother.

“I love all guns!” **fires 500 S&W magnum** **throws it out the window**

I love it. The nostalgia meets modern style. The 50 round drum is sweet as well. Springfield definitely makes fine weapons . I myself have the Springfield Saint Victor .308 AR-10 with the Magpul 50 round drum magazine. I would love to get my own SOCOM 16 in camo.

Such an great rifle one of the best forsure. Great video bro great content and info for people.

Enjoyed this, keep up the great work

Great review

Subbed!!

Just bought 2 of these directly from X products. Had a great deal for their black Friday sale. Can't wait to get back to the range

I love the socom 16, it’s a mix of tactical and hunting rifle, I want one!

I wish I was legally armed canada

I love everything about it, except the price

I've been collecting all the m1 variants I can, everything from the carbine to the garand to the mini14 and the socom16. Love them all and the actions are some of the most reliable on the market

You are one of few that list the msrp for the products that you present. That's why I subscribe.

Though it is more in cost then an AR I like a .308 hitting power vs that of a .223

That drum looks like an alternator

Wow... what an interesting & stylish rifle 😧 Thanks alot for the introduction of that impressive semi-auto rifle & I'm going to be doing my own homework into that firearm.

legend has it that he is still pulling the trigger to this day

No Ping? No M1.

Must have drum, must have drum, must have drum.......

a few years ago I purchased the M1A SOCOM 16 CQB and i couldnt be happier! AMA haha

Awesome review! I think I have decided to add this short version to my Scout and Loaded versions.

"This thing is a blast to shoot" Pun intended?

I want the 45/70 version

This gun is a legend. Bands of Brothers, SPR...I just love this great war machine

On my list of must haves!. It really is a great rifle and if you know how to shoot you can make really long shots and hit the bullseye with just the iron sights.

I never new the socom 16 was a modernized m1 garand ...i feel very silly now...

3:53 - pretty sure it's dead, Jim.

Es un arma muy bonita, me gusta su estilo retro y moderno a la vez... Saludos desde Puerto Morelos Quintana Roo México.

Nice I love the shots⚡️

BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG PING!

My next firearm!!! 😀🇺🇸😀

It’s beautiful wow.

Great choice of rifle really good to see wt active duty personal.
