M1A question

[Grieze]

I am thinking of getting an M1A and could use some advice. I held one at a gun show and liked it but I've heard different opinions about how accurate they are and how much work they need compared to AR-10s. What's it really like to own one, are they as fussy as some say?

Yeah, M1As can be picky. You can expect groups around 2-3 MOA, mounting a scope can be tricky and it needs special care like greasing unlike an AR-10.

I had to grease and bed mine regularly before it started grouping tightly
