Springfield M1A Review: Discover the unmatched power of the civilian M14 in Extreme Guns and Babes by Jack Corbett
By Jack Corbett
What's a rifle like this doing in a rural cabin? It has the power you need for deer, moose, elk, or bear, so long as there is short enough a magazine in it to conform to the game laws. It also has the power that neutralizes vehicles with judicious shot placement.
Massod Ayoob
The Springfield M 1A is Massod Ayoob's number one choice for a do everything rifle when he's out in the wilds removed from civilization where his very survival might call upon him to hunt big game for food, stop an enraged Grizzly bear or shoot it out with a gang of thugs. Massad mentions using short clips to "conform to the game laws". Twenty shot magazines are readily available, which is just the thing to shoot it out with drug dealers converging on your homestead in thick bodied semi trucks, or hiding behind trees most of which the M 1 A's .308 steel jacketed bullet will drill clean through. Which is not surprising since the M 1 A is Springfield Armory's civilian version of the M14 rifle which had been the U.S. main battle rifle from the late 1950's through the opening years of the Vietnam War.
Although obsoleted by the much lighter M16 rifle, the M14 was so good that it is still being called upon by elite troops whenever combat at long range is imminent.

Springfield M 1 A, which had been my dream rifle

Why should you buy
Extreme Guns and Babes for an Adult World
at the
Jack Corbett book
store? When you can buy it from Amazon,
lulu.com or over 200 online bookstores all over the world? The reason
is I want to offer my readers the largest number of choices at the
lowest prices in the widest variety of formats possible.
Too many times I've seen these online book stores selling my full color
print edition for $50.00 or even as high as $200.00 when Amazon will
ship you the same full color edition for $39.00. Still $39.00 is
way too high for most customers who would be happy with the black and
white edition through Amazon for $13.95. But the pictures in this
print edition are in black and white. A better choice for you
might be the Kindle Smart Phone edition which gives you full color at
$9.95. The choice is yours, but I highly recommend you go to the
Jack Corbett Book Store to get not
just Extreme Guns and Babes for an Adult
World, but my other four books as well.
