| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | Post; M1 Garand, Modern Day DM RifleThe M1 Garand is still a powerful and useful battlefield tool. By simply adding a synthetic stock, flash hider, folding bi-pod, and a scope mount with a good scope. The M1 Garand will be a good battlefield DM Rifle. I'm thinking of doing it to my CMP Garand. Best thing about it is that all the things that would turn it into a moden day DM Rifle is that nothing is permanent.       I have a M1A but still, it's not as fun as my M1 Garand. My Garand is a better rifle because it's a real military rifle. the M1A is a civilian production. Great rifle but still not military. Also, I'm a huge fan of the .30-06 Springfield (7.62x63mm). I think I'll have a great hunting/police rifle.

| Centurion | I like those Enhanced Battle Rifles made off of the M14 or M1A platforms, all syntetic furniture with 4 1913 rails...mmmm. Now they need a Garand EBR, and we'll both be happy.

| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | That's Springfield Armory's SOCOM II Rifle. I've played with them. Sweet little rifle. But I don't like a 16 inch .308 Rifle. You waste alot of the energy from the round. In my opinion, either a 18 inch or 20 inch barrel on those M1As are a good platform. What a shame they don't offer the SOCOM II package on their Scout Sqaud Rifle.  SOCOM II  Scout Squad Rifle |

| Centurion | You sure? I thought the EBR was a strictly in-house thing with SOCOM, being that it's full auto, no? I could be mistaken, but I thought the SOCOM II was the civilian version. I'll look into it a bit more. |

| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | The SOCOM Rifle was never made for military contract. They're all for the civilian market. |

| 100% Space Shuttle Door Gunner | My mistake, the M14 EBR is a military contract firearm. They are military M14 with the EBR system. I thought you meant the Civilian Springfield Armory SOCOM II as the M14 EBR Rifle. |

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | My favorite DM rifle is the Alexander Arms Grendel Designated Marksman Rifle. But, I wouldn't mind having an M1A with a synthetic stock and bipod.

| Primus Pilus | ...a .50 cal AR-15 sounds nice.  A bit more than $1 a round is sorta pricy on top of the price tag on the rifle, though. I wonder how it would perform against the M1?
