After all the hype associated to this rifle and this company ,and after $2,200.00 later ,the rifle came in.
The Metal and fit were OK ,the stock looked good , and all was fine until you looked at the Butt plate :pissed:
It looked like it have been issued 100+ times and had very little finish left on it.
It doesn't matter what the rest of the rifle looks like ,if you see this mess ,you wonder about it.
The flap plate was OK ,but the stock plate was the problem .
I know this is Aluminum ,but some Krylon high heat flat black ,baked in an oven works fine.
A little cold blue on the sling swivels wouldnt hurt eiather.
I guess you just cant buy a good M1A anymore.
