I have heard several well informed and apperantly reliable sources on this forum and others that say do NOT use .308 in and M1A as they are spec'd for 7.62x51 and there is a 2K+ Max PSI diff between the 2.
I have called Springfield armory on 2 different ocasions and asked them what chambering the M1A has. Their response has been .308, and they say i can use either .308 or 7.62x51. I even mentioned that there is 7.62x51 stamped on the tang.
Is there someone out there that has reason to disputes this? Not trying to start WWIII.. just want to save a nice M1A frm going boom instead of bang.
