Of the two M1A's I have the Squad Scout and the Socom 16, neither have been accurized. What I've found is quality ammo make a huge difference in accuracy. The Squad scout with a 1.5-4X scope shoots under 2 inches at 100 yds. for four rounds w/ Federal 168 gr. match. With a handload consisting of 46.3 grs. of TAC, 125 gr. Sierra Pro Hunter Bullet, and new PPU brass, it regularly puts 4 into one inch @ 100 yds. But surplus ammo is a real crap shoot. The worst I've seen is the IMI ammo offered by Midway USA. About 5 inches @ 100 for four rounds. Heck, the 1980 lots of mil surp from England shoot under 3 MOA @ 100 for four rounds. The difference is in the wide range of bullet weights, like plus or minus almost three grains, not .3 grain, and the wide variations in powder charges. E
