Friend bought the old Farmer's and Merchant's bank for his office and kept his collection of '03, M1, and U.S. marked M70 in the 12 x 12 vault. It was a tight squeeze.

Good going.
Out of the close to 4 dozen M14 type rifles I have built and own, only 1 is a SAI. When they first came out with the Socom II the photo used in their advertisement caught my eye. I think I have "maybe" 50 rnds through the thing. It resides in the back of one of my safes and comes out only for it's annual cleaning and lube.
I bought a SA Socom about 5 years ago. It wouldn't group better than 8-9 inches at 100 yards. I sent it back to Springfield Armory to have them check it. They sent it back with a note saying they had recrowned the barrel. They sent a target with it with a 1 inch group shot a 50 yards. Had my buddy who is a 3 award expert Marine rifle instructor take it out and he still could not get better than 6-7 inches at 100 yards with the gun. IMO, that is unacceptable for a $1600 gun. I have since heard from several gunsmiths that Socoms do not seem able to shoot well. Let us hope this standard model does better.

Gone on a real bender I see...good for you!
