SOCOM 16 | Range Review

Dude all that casing hitting that truck....

now thats a battle rife

Note to self... sight in rifle before making video.

Did you adjust the rear elevation at all or is it bottomed out?

Can you order a walnut stock from factory ❓

Sighted slightly left

If the gove wants a hard hitting round and a short gun that is light why not just give in already and go with the dam ak47?

Not sure if you were using the 147 grain. I get much better groups when shooting the 168 grain. Don't know if the wind was from right to left but most of your just were hitting left even with your closest targets. Love the socom 16. I caught a wild hog approximately 450 lbs using the 168 grain at around 130 yards a couple of years ago. Tore the heart into pieces and dropped instantly. Really enjoyed your video!

How did you change the composite for wood? I know the tanker comes in wood but w/out the rail

That is my fav gun. My pops has it.

But suppressed

What mounting system in the truck are you using

Just picked up the Tanker- which is like yours but just comes with the walnut stock- and no pic rail. where in AZ are you- well I mean looks like AZ...

Did you ever get those nicks in your trucks paint job yet?

Cant wait to get one of these

Put a shuster gas plug,this cuts down on blowback from the omega / can!😎= stiffer hehe👐🏽

truck gun. yes sir.

The only thing that bothers me about this gun is getting my finger caught in the blot, is this a problem for you?

Gene-0! Watched this one again. I love how everyone is concerned about the brass hitting the King Ranch. Great Americans!

The truck is painted with iron.

Synthetic stocks are my taste.

Get the NM front sight, fairly cheap replacement that helps a ton.

Следы от гильз на машине гарантированы

I heard that certain weather will warp the wood over time causing your shots to be thrown off is this true?

Is that the Tanker model?

I cringed at the brass smacking into your truck, lol. Great gear, man. Thanks for the video.

I love my m1a tanker. I did research on this platform before I bought it and just as an FYI to anyone wondering, the military never adopted any variant of the m14 with a 16 inch barrel. The name socom was simply a marketing name from Springfield armory. The tanker model was inspired by the garand in ww2 when the army produced a prototype short barrel garand for tanker personnel. It had issues and less than 10 are still around today.

Great video! Makes for a great truck gun like the truck getting "pinged" by ejected brass cartridge cases.....

Where did you get the wood stock?

any issues with getting your fingers get snagged by the action near the forward grip?

Great weapon. I got one in black synth stock and wish I had the wood finish, but better to have one than to not, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this.

What is the difference between the socom and the tanker?

So is it an M1a stock? Or M1 or a completely different model

Finally someone mentioned the pic rail getting hot. I really was waiting for that and you seem to be one of the few that did. Had a good laugh about that 😂

After 9/11???
They came out in 2004.

They didn't "redesign" the gas system. The difference is in the gas port of the barrel.
You can use a gas system from any SA M1A

2 lb difference???
There's less than a lb difference

It doesn't have the "typical" rear aperture. It's a ghost ring aperture; much bigger than the standard and/or NM

Out to a 1000 yards! This guy is priceless
Don't make things up

Just change the front sight to a standard blade or NM

Can i take the heat shield of my tanker and replace one with the picatinny rail?

I live in bear country will these handle heavy 308 rounds?

Got the Tanker because of the short barrel. Love it

That walnut with black looks better than the stock walnut with brown. Like this!

I bought a tanker and standard, I’ve yet to shoot them, seems people love or hate them, because they have no gun skills and bitch about accuracy. You’re video demonstrated “practical “ accuracy it was spot on, I have many bolt guns and learned to shoot with iron sights as a boy and in the military, as with all things precision takes practice. I’m knee deep in Winchester 149gr, not match grade, but readily available and most likely goto ammo. Thank you for the demonstration

Where did you get the wood furniture?

Talk in Yds not meters

I bought my M1A Socom 16 back when they first came out. I love ARs but I've always wanted a short rifle with more muscle. When it came out I was like....That's the one I've been waiting for ! I've never regretted it and have never had any issues. Can take down cover that my AR won't even scratch. Great vid and good info. Well done.

Nice rifle!

Really enjoyed your review, just ordered a tanker.

Great way to screw your paint up 🎨 on your truck 🛻 that brass flying into it
