Me, I liked my original belgian FAL which would shoot minute of angle groups with iron sights. But all my friends that owned examples of all the rifles available (we all worked for the largest distributor of assault weapons in California), of the guys that could REALLY shoot, they picked the M1 hands down.

I've owned 2 HK91s and all the other assault rifles with the exception of the M1, because I hated the weight and it felt like a big club to me more than a rifle. All the other rifles need more tender loving care and cleanliness to function properly. A standard 91 is more accurate than the AK, but not as bulletproof. Next to the AK, they are probably one of the best abuse handling battle rifles out there. I've always considered the HK91s to be the German equivalent of the AK-47, but coming in 2nd place. Quality receivers, overall excellent guns, and cost much less than an original The Century rebuilds are aĭefinite step down in receiver quality, but function. Simple, reliable, accurate and VERY expensive. The gun does some damage to the brass with very violent ejection, dent in the side, minorĭamage to the rim, ugly fluting marks from the chamber. I have a PSG-1 trigger group and the factory HK claw mount and scope, also Uniformly worse than most cap pistols, but can be fixed and the PSG1 trigger groups are Superb on 200, 300 and 400, adjustable for windage and elevation, but a bit of a PITA toĪdjust, you need either a modified pair of needle nose pliers or a special tool. The front sight is one of the best on ANY rifle, the rear sight is fair/poor on 100 yd, Ask-A-Member: "I need help with.HK91 is accurate, reliable, mags cost $3-5 in any quantity you can imagine.Firearm Related Safety Bulletins & Recalls.Quick Navigation C&R and Military Rifles Top They can be built to the highest degree of accuracy, just costs money. M1As are one of the classiest firearms of all time and will always be known for it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with M1As minus the price points and amount it cost to upgrade and maintain them compared to ARs. TRW was know among all of the producers to provide the highest level of accuracy hence the much higher price points for them when found.

In regards to new vs old models, the GI spec models were built to a very high standard for the time. The SOCOM models do not have the accuracy of the standard length models although the Scouts can be very acceptable. I now own a Fulton Peerless that is a 1/2 MOA rifle with match ammo among a few others. Oh, the rifle also has over 15k rounds though it. It's been shot for years with surplus ammo in which it still maintains sub MOA groups with Hirtenberger surplus ammo. That started it all and the addiction followed. I was about 15 when we first got one a GI spec Springfield loaded model.

M1A's grew on me growing up from my father.
