M1A + modstock legal?

[szebrows 0]

I'm looking for a long range gun I can use for target practice.

 

I'm interested in the M1A standard version with a VLTOR modstock: http://www.vltor.com/socom.htm

 

Does this have 2 "evil features"?  A telescoping stock and pistol grip?   I'd have to have the stock pinned, correct?

I am unsure if the M1A has a threaded barrel or flash hider standard.

Stock would need to be pinned and no flash hider or bayo lug.

Does it come with a flash hider or bayonet lug?

Thats just a stock, so you'd have to look at the gun your buying first.  Most come with a flash hider since it is legal without a pistol grip.

It's a telescoping stock plus a pistol grip.  So I'd need the stock pinned and the flash hider taken off and a muzzle break or something put on?

Or a crowned barrel, yes

Poor gun

 

I don't want to have a M1A cut up just so I can use it in NJ.

 

Maybe I should look into something else, like the M21.  I like how it looks, but it seems to cost a lot.

Actually, here's a pic of the modstock on a SOCOM M1A:

 

Looks like it has a permanent muzzle brake?  Is there a stock version of the M1A without a flash hider/threaded barrel/bayonet lug? 

 

Oh, another thing.  Does this VLTOR modstock count as a telescoping stock?  I think it's adjustable, but does that really count as telescoping?

as a general rule you dont want to pin a flash hider or comp onto an M1A because it inhibits your ability to remove parts of the gas system for cleaning.

I went with a FN PS90 RD 

 

Not quite long range, but it should be long range enough.

I've not had my hands on this gun, but that looks like the most fragile means of mounting a scope that I've ever seen...    The attachment of the buttstock to the receiver doesn't inspire confidence, either.

This ^^

The Socom comes with that trick little gass block/ brake assy.  The M1A standard has a longer barrel with a non pinned flash hider on it.

Believe it or not that's a good mount but it's backwards on that m1a it's how you catch your parallax cause it's mounted that far forward

I hate idea of cutting firearms up
