as promised, so delivered
Ok, my "studio" sucks (considering it is little more than my bookshelves covered with a white sheet, it is no wonder), my lighting is atrocious (various fluorescent and incandescent lights, casting shades I would hesitate to call "white"), and I am not Oleg Volk (much to my detriment). That said, here are the promised pictures of my brand-spanking new Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM II.
Behold, all of the new toys:
A closeup of the pertinent detail:
Trying to play with perspective, and failing miserably:
And, for those concerned, the bottom part of the VLTOR quadrail is removable, leaving the top and side rails intact:

Thanks for the visit and the comment. Certainly was not expecting either.
I saw enough to be jealous, and I am. Wanna trade for a 1943 Enfield? Oh. Just thought I'd ask. :)
Hm... Tempting, very tempting... But I think I am going to have to pass ;).
