Love that it looks like a M1A and has the heavy weight of one

The cocking lever requires some muscle which is not the rifles fault but mine due to old age, so I find I need a strong platform to brace it against. The peep sight aperture is small, again old eyes.

Nice wood stock. Cocking lever extension.

I had forgotten how much the M1A (actually M14) weighed. It's a monster! That said, I love it! It shoots great, fun to heft, very accurate right out of the box. My wife joined the military far into my career and she was stunned at how heavy the rifle is. , but it was, and we all complained. Now I just love it! I'm infested with rabbits - I'm gonna go Elmer Fud on them!

1) It needs a box magazine added even if for looks only. I will buy one and add it to the stick, for looks only. 2) Use shooting gloves. The opening in the stock for the cocking lever feels uncomfortable when hefting the rifle. This is a minimal issue. I like cocking the gun versus using the little CO2 cylinders and I don't want a PCP rifle. 3) The stock is unfinished. I will rub it down with a few coats True-Oil - not a big deal.

1) Lovely, accurate "manly" weapon. However, if you're going to put a score on it, the scope mount costs more than the weapon.
2) Did I say this before? It's heavy, just like it should be.

Solid & well built. Shoots well, stout trigger just like the real deal.. Good value, thanks Pyramyd!

Provision for dummy magazine, if a company is going to go as far as they did on this replica rifle, they should go all the way, 4 star for overall.

Good service and prompt delivery.
Where's the M1A/M14 scope mount as an accessory Pyramyd? :o)

Looks the part, feels solid, shoots well.

Would have been nice if it came with the picatinny mount that's M1A specific, or if it was sold here.

Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, weighs like one, fyi (heavy)

The rifle is very true to the actual weight of the original M1a.

I would try and put metal site post on the rifle to make it more durable.

The wood stock isn't anything to write home about. All I did was just brushed some linseed oil onto the stock with steel wool. It brought out the Finnish of the stock. It gave the wood a rich Finnish and smooth texture.

It's great to find a military replica that's accurate, too. Out of the box it was hitting the 10 ring at 50 feet. Styling may not be 100% aligned with the actual gun, but it's close enough that there's no question this is intended to represent a battle rifle from that era. And it's fun to shoot. I wondered if the peep sight would be too challenging for my older eyes, but I was happily surprised that it's manageable.

The lever was a little crunchy at first, but smoothed out. As most people have posted, the access to loading pellets is difficult for sausage fingers

The underlever takes a bit of muscle, but it's worth it for the zip it puts on the pellet. A good, cheap solution to the tight loading space is a pair of modelling tweezers. They work great, as long as you're not in a big hurry. Finally, although the gun is accurate and the peep sight is better than expected, there are far better options out there if you want/need a scope for precision shooting. It's a good-looking military replica with surprisingly good accuracy. Fun to shoot, too. Just make sure to use a rest, this sucker is heavy.

Heavy alright but it does what it's suppose to. Does look or feel like your average bb gun.

Scope... I don't know if it'll take a scope if it doesn't that'll be great

It's heavy!

Its very faithful to the actual Springfield M1A rifle. Its also extremely accurate right out of the box. My first shot I hit within 2 inches of my aim point at roughly 100 feet. And that was in a standing position with absolutely no support.

Nothing much I would change, but I did think that it might be cool to have a faux magazine that can be removed from the rifle where you could store extra pellets.

I watched some YouTube videos others had posted and they seemed to say that the rifle was relatively quiet. I thought it was way louder than any spring or gas pellet/BB gun I have ever fired. I would almost say its at least as loud as a .22 caliber rim fire rifle maybe even louder. Most 22 rifles I have fired didnt feel like they made my ears ring. This rifle does to a slight degree.

Excellent replica. Heavy weight. Shoots really accurate. Very well made. Thanks

Make the proper scope mount available.

Good company & products. Fast shipping. Highly recommend. No problems. Thanks
