1249 M1 Garand & M1A SOCOM 16 - All the way?

Without much delay, it didn't take long before we had another special delivery of an OG M1 Garand chambered in .30-06 and a modern one, an M1A SOCOM 16 rifle, chambered in .308 Winchester. I didn't need to explain much about the classic M1 because it could stand alone in its own notoriety but the new had obviously a few things that had quality-of-life features while having a modern "tacticool" look than the usual wood stock and iron sights.

Of course, my new-age M1 came in all black with a 16-inch barrel, an adjustable stock, match trigger, ghost-ring rear sights, tritium front sights, a Picatinny rail that only had a flashlight for now, and a proprietary muzzle brake with an option to easily screw in a suppressor.

'It's lighter too… the same with its shorter bullet casing…'

Sure, it might look half-done at the moment but it still had the spirit of the OG Garand just from looking at the side profile… mostly.

"A-Are those the same thing?" Ella asked.
