Seriously considering a M1A Scout Squad..... Thoughts?

Springfield Armory M1A Bush Rifle, 308, 18'' Barrel, Used., may or may not be what you want?

Wow, that's an excellent deal, I just called them. They have quite a few in stock with several options available. I'm tempted to take the plunge.

My "shall issue" FID is by choice. I do not want any type of license that can be taken away by whim of some politically-motivated police chief. I routinely carry a folding knife with a four-inch blade and that is becoming illegal in an increasing number of cities in MA. I do not want a possible misdemeanor arrest for violation of some stupid local knife ordinance to cause me to lose a LTC and my guns. That said, I have never purchased from a MA dealer. You are right, the MA dealers would have refused to sell the Mini 14 to me. I get my guns out of state. I have had the FID for well over 34 years now and never felt disadvantaged with it. It is the perfect fit for my personal lifestyle.

Fair ebough, carrying a pistol isn't for everyone.

I've got some mileage on both the Scout (walnut stocked) and a Loaded (originally a synthetic stock, currently in a JAE G2).
Based on what you've described as your intended use, I say go for that police trade-in deal or the walnut Scout.

Just something about that wood stock...

Just sent you a PM before looking further down the thread.

its a GI synthetic stock i got on gunbroker. I filled the selector switch cut out with fiberglass filler and then duracoated the stock.
