Springfield Armory’s M1A Squad Scout

[Talyn]

We have seen some problems with the magazines shipped with the rifle. Quick trip to the military surplus store solved the problem (and doubled the capacity).

Better than used Mil-surplus, or if you need rebuild components, and available in various capacities depending on local/state restrictions.

Old school castle nut vs. threading directly onto the barrel.

Not those two, the two Smiths. I give up, you're just not getting it.

Perhaps you could better explain what it is you are asking about.

I already made it clear that indeed there are two different SEI part #s, one fits 18" & 22" barrels, the other is exclusive to the 16.25" barrel. The Vortex that fits the 18 & 22 inch barrels will not fit the 16.25", and the Vortex for the 16.25" will not fit 18 & 22 inch barrels.

Anyone have thoughts on finishing a scout squad walnut stock with linseed oil or minwax tung oil?

I love the look of boiled linseed oil. Finished M1A std stock from a new raw, unfinished wood...2 coats and it's beautiful.
