At old age, it's really impressive to see
@@Gen_ShadowCompany_203 at any age to hit from 200+ yards with iron sights standing up is really impressive
Everyone: there's an ammo shortage, I can't train right now.
Hickok: haha, lets try the gong!
Lets use these .22 lr on those 15 garden gnomes
The only ammo I can't find is 9mm.
They have plenty of 45s.
Shoulda gotten the 1911...
Buy it cheap and stack it deep, when shortages happen you can still have fun.
no one says there is an ammo shortage... dumbass

That's a really nice rifle. I had no idea they chambered them in that caliber.
New addition.
Check out their website they have a lot of different versions! Super nice rifles, but they aren't cheap!! Stay safe and God bless 🇺🇸☠️🇺🇸
what website
@@danniechaires Google Springfield. Armoury
thx
I know everyone by now is used to watching him shoot but that first target at the start of the video and at that distance was just crazy, and you don’t realize how much further it is until he walked closer.
Offhand, iron sights, 230 yards, on target. ‘Nuff said.
Me too.
You couldn't hit that big ass orange dot right there on the hill off hand? Its a bright orange 24 inch piece of metal not a playing card
1:06, just look at it. That really seems outlandish to you? I'm really not trying to be a dick but I hit coyotes on my property that trigger lights in the ground that far off hand from my porch with a 20 inch Colt AR with a carry handle like 3 times a month. Hickock is great but when you guys make him out to be a god for totally average shots its gets me going lol
Zach Z Don’t read the comments then man. He’s a good shot. Sue me for being impressed
@@MasonR3 git gud scrub
Yeah, Zach Z is a legend in his mind.
I'm trying sooooo hard not to buy new guns🤦🏾♂️

Benjamin Eadie why
I think we all are, LOL.
Anyone else laughing at the ADT home security sign as he’s crossing the driveway? You’d have to be nuts to mess with that house
I had a good laugh after reading your comment. So true.
I talked to an employee of a Tucson gun shop a few years back. I mentioned Hickok45 and he immediately scoffed and said he's a jerk. I was caught off guard a bit because Greg seems like a real nice guy in the videos.
Sure enough, this dingus tells me about a story he read online where someone pulled up to his house and was met by a very upset Greg and family. He's lucky that's all that happened, I'd be EXTREMELY hostile to someone pulling up to my house when I have hundreds of thousands in firearms stored 😂

I really enjoy how you discuss the history and development of the guns in your videos.
If I was holding a legit Springfield M1A, I'd get choked up too 😂
This ain’t a legit lol it’s even more modern than than the SOCOM
Neezy Ceezy legit has to be legit, meaning not a copy, og
If I was holding a legit M1A I'd be trying to offload it since they're garbage.
@@DigitalRX2r don't cut yourself on that edge
@@Biggiiful Nah that edge went dull 50 years ago when the M14 became the 2nd shortest serving battle rifle in US history. Also the main reason for the dissolution of the Springfield Armory., the Italians did it right with the BM59, we went the special bus route with the M14 and it was a disaster. There's a reason why the guy who literally wrote the current Army Marksmanship handbook calls it a garbage rifle.
I used an M-14 as well as an M-16-A1, M-4, and MP-5, while on active duty. They are all wonderful weapons and enjoyed firing them. I have also used a civilian Springfield M1A and was a pleasure to fire it on range. You said you were using a 140 gr 6.5 round and manage really nice shots at that distance. I found the M1A likes the 168 gr round, any lower grain seems to spread out.
*Two most notable aspects about this channel*
*the cool roar of the weapons used and the amazing accuracy of this 70+ yr old man*
Even with Corona he is still trying to make us happy. This guy is a legend 👊😷

Im just glad to see Buds has a few guns left on their site lol
Yeah, everything is out of stock. What happened to them?

For once brick and mortar shops have better inventory than online retailers.
Thank you to show. I have followed each gun you brought to show, there are impossible to be owner some gun it is very rare to find in Thailand.
Take a good care.
6,5 bullet diameter is always been multitool of cartridges here in Norway (6,5x55 swedish) My first rifle was a Remington 700 in 6,5x55 , bought it when I was 16, Still got it. Accurate, flat shooting and reliable
as someone from the uk i envy you so much you are so lucky to have the freedoms you do
We’re trying to enjoy them while we still can lol
Same.

I started watching Hickok45 at around 2 million. Now it’s over 5 million. Unbelievable how many people love shooting and stories.
I can’t go to Buds gun shop but I can support Federal.
There’s just something about the M14 - M1A that is so classic / cool. I have a Rockola M14 by JRA with a 19” barrel. This video makes me want to take it out of the safe just to fondle it for a minute. That’s not weird. M14 lovers understand.
yep
dmr socom, i gets it
Everytime hickok shoots, i full my volume
Seems louder when the God Of War shoots the M1A!
hickok 45 and the M1A I just love my Socom 16 one of my will not let go rifles along with the M1
1:43 It is really quick, and you have to pay close attention, but you see the bullet traveling. Even what looks like the supersonic cone if you look carefully enough. Amazing that you can see that!!
I love your M14 Hickok! Wood grain all the way for the classics.
1969 last cycle to go through fort ord basic training with the M14. Never touched an M16 till I got to Vietnam.
Your videos are the best Hickok. I enjoy every one of them and learn something everytime I watch them. This is an "ole jar head" here brother, Thanks again. Thinking about adding a 6.5 Creedmoor to my collection and wanted to see what you had to say about it before I went that route.
I used that weapon when I was in the military in Italy when it was still mandatory !! Exceptional weapon for accuracy and force of impact (or penetration), it depended a lot on the bullets we were going to use in the exercises. ciao, Marco from ROME, Italy
I have the same M1A in .308 (stainless barrel, etc) I have a 5 x 28 scope. Great rifle! I also have the M1 Garand 30.06 love them both. Thanks for your show!
I've noticed in my city that 6.5 Creedmoor was among the only cartridge size consistently on the shelf during the ammo shortage last year. Might be worth looking into.
Hickok 45 is a national treasure!
The grandpa you never got to spend enough time with!
I've always liked the Springfield M1 , I really like the 6.5 creedmoor
Definitely take care of yourself. Been watching your channel for years, looking forward to many more.
Oh awesome. Morning everyone

Ok what in the world, I was just looking into these yesterday and struggled to find a nice overview in this caliber. You read my mind!

Sleep can wait
I had a serious case of the hickoks last night and couldn’t sleep. Now they’ve subsided after watching this. 🙃
But can sleep sleep? 🤔
🤣🤣🤣
Ah yes a cultured profile pic
In 1972 the Marines were still training and using the M-14 in Okinawa. I shot expert(200,300 and 500 yards) at my last testing that year. In the Phillipines we used AR's. It was very heavy compared to newer AR's we also had. Never had any problem with the sights. But then again I had little compare it to. Many options today we did not have. It only took 50 years to get to the 6.5.
I loved my M14 in Korea,, and now have a modern version as a stable mate for the AR15.
I had the opportunity to shoot a 6.5 Creedmoor bolt action scoped rifle a couple of weeks ago....don't remember the make of rifle...I hadn't fired a weapon in several years, but was able to get two hits out of four at 750 yards on a twelve inch metal target.....I was very impressed with the 6.5 round ....and myself. .
Gotta love an M1 (and most guns) with iron sights 👍🏻
I think the M1A/M14 is the most beautiful battle-rifle ever made.
I'd guess a ghost ring becomes a peep sight when its diameter is smaller than the smallest average diameter a human pupil gets, and a peep sight becomes a ghost ring when the diameter is larger than the largest average diameter a human pupil gets. If the diameter of the sight is smaller than that of your pupil, you'll experience a hologram effect and paralax suppression (meaning the front sight will always look aligned with the target, even if you move your head). If the diameter of the sight is larger than your pupil, you'll just be looking through it and have to make sure the front sight is properly centered in the hole.
That's what I read in an old airgun article, anyway
Old article/books writers were the men.
Cj R I’ve tried to read this a couple times now and still get lost
So, peep sight is smaller than the smallest your pupil gets? Ghost ring is larger than the largest your pupil gets? In between the terms are interchangeable? Maybe we can go with Peep Rings. Along with "hologram effect" isn't an additional purpose of the peep sight to increase your depth of field? Like with the aperture setting on your camera? Not sure if it's worth discussing, but someone might find it interesting. Airguns are fun and awesome, by the way.
@Ulfhedinn Tyr all i know is that regular peeps are great targets :). They sure as hell dont taste good
@@sdmartin4632 Long story short, light behaves differently when it travels through two holes of different sizes, depending on which hole is smaller. Hole 1 is the peep sight, and hole 2 is your pupil. Light travels from hole 1 to hole 2. If hole 1 is smaller than hole 2, hole 2 will see the same pattern of light rays even if it shifts a little up/down, left/right, etc. This is the reason you see a "hologram" if you close your fist and look through the hole between your pinky and palm. The image you see through your hand might appear to zoom in and out slightly, and you'll have a better depth of field. If you move your head ever so slightly, you'll see that the image looks like it hasn't moved, even though your head has. This is the paralax suppression I mentioned.
If hole 1 is much larger than hole 2, none of this happens. This is because you're just looking through it the same way you'd look through a paper towel roll, a hole in the wall, etc. The light's behavior is not altered to be different from seeing the same thing with your naked eye.
Hole 1 smaller than hole 2 = peep sight. Hole 1 larger than hole 2 = ghost ring.
Does this help illustrate it a little bit?
P.S. this is part of the reason why I hate it when tacticools lump all "iron sights" into the same category, because there's a lot of science behind what some types of iron sights can accomplish for you.
America's favorite gun grandpa with a beautiful specimen.
So loud it made the dogs outside bark
Oh well now I have to see an FN FAL chambered for the same round!
There’s a Galil out there in 6.5
@@ThomasHendrickson Really? That sounds interesting.
Downunder Rob yeah I’ll see if I can find the company for you. Rob Ski did a video on it. It’s an OG style galil, not an ACE type
Finally someone suggests a rifle that would actually take this round. Heaps of people in the comments don't seem to understand that the length of the action matters more than anything else when it comes to conversions.
A S C E N D E D W H I T E M A L E kinda like Brandon Herreras comment section asking for a.50BMG PPsh-41
I went through infantry training at Ft Lewis WA in 1967 and it was all M14. Right at the end of training we received a one day orientation on the M16 which seemed like a toy. It was a shame that troops in Vietnam were supplied with an unproven rifle with many design shortcomings and that the Army used soldiers to work out the "kinks". Long live the M1A!
M16 was perfect if the retards in the army just listened to Eugene stoner maybe you guys wouldn’t have been issued rifles that won’t work
@ Good Goat - Re: "It was a shame that troops in Vietnam were supplied with an unproven rifle with many design shortcomings and that the Army used soldiers to work out the 'kinks.' Long live the M1A!"
Defense Secretary McNamara was a piece of work, wasn't he? His criminal negligence in rushing the M-16 into combat got good men killed - it's as plain as that. Now, whether you love or hate the M-14, the fact is that we had them sorted out and coming off production lines in large numbers by the early 1960s. And many Marines and soldiers in the field liked them and trusted their lives with them. The M-16 was new and while it had gotten good reviews in specialized roles in Vietnam (Army Special Forces, for example) and with the USAF, it was not yet ready for prime time military-wide when McNamara pulled the plug on new M-14 production.
The infamous teething troubles experienced by the new weapon in SE Asia and elsewhere are now a matter of public record, most prominently at the Congressional Ichord Hearings of 1967. Congress got involved when servicemen in theater wrote home begging for cleaning rods and kits and relating the enormous problems they were having with the new "black rifles."
The gravest sin may have been training so many men - whether Army or USMC or Navy - on one weapon, the M-14 or perhaps the M-1 Garand (they are closely related in operation and training from one carries over into the other), whereupon men got to SE Asia and in a lot of cases were issued M-16s they'd never even seen before, let alone with which they had trained or acquired any sort of expertise.
Big Green/DOD/Pentagon then compounded the error by changing the ammo - over the strident objections of the weapon's designer, chief engineer Eugene Stoner - by using faster/hotter burning ball powder instead of the stick powder used in the rifle's development. Troops were also assured that the new wonder weapons were "self-cleaning" and did not need regular maintenance. Lastly, the aluminum magazines issued turned out to be fragile and if bent or damaged in the field, they would not work or would work only a few shots before causing misfeeds & jams. And since the men had not been issued cleaning kits or cleaning rods, they had difficulty clearing these stoppages in the field. Literally, men died in the midst of firefights with their partially-disassembled M-16s next to them.
In time, the army and other services worked to solve these various problems, but by the time they were fixed comprehensively, the war was long over and it was too late to help the men who'd used them in Vietnam.
In fairness to the M-16, some heavyweights - military men with impeccable credentials such as General Hal Moore of the 1st Cav (then a light bird) - had favorable reports of the new weapon, but there were plenty of others with equally good records, Colonel David Hackworth for example - who despised the black rifle and said so in no uncertain terms.
I was only fourteen in 1975 when the choppers left the roof of the U.S. embassy and Saigon, so I didn't go to SE Asia, but I know a handful of older men who did and who saw combat. Every single one of them loved the M-14, and hated the M-16 - which they termed "that worthless poodle-shooter" or worse. If you have ever heard old infantrymen complain and cuss, and it sounds like you have - then you can fill in the blanks. But the one man's son - the father was 101st A/B in Nam - who had just rotated home from Iraq and a tour as a grunt over there (this was maybe 2006 or 2007), we button-holed him and asked what he thought.... he liked his M-16 just fine and had no complaints. So the old guys hated "the black rifle," but the young ones seemed OK with it.
I may have snorted coffee watching John Lovell interview Clint Smith and Clint called it the “6.5 what-the-hell.” Lol
Clint is the anti hipster gunfighter. CAPVETS, USMC.
@@TheDoorspook11c Are you implying that the 6.5 Creedmoor is a hipster round?
Door Spook The guys fighting in WW1 and WW2 said the same thing about the 308 Winchester. Years of using the tried and true 30-06 and probably saw no reason for that new fangled 308 whatchyamacallit.
Ive always loved it when a company offers multiple caliber options.
I drilled the rear site on my M1 scout one size up and it works great for me.
It has a lot to do with the muzzle brake. They always make a gun louder.
I purchased a semi National Match M1A over 20 years ago. Stainless steel barrel, front sight, etc. Changed the rear sight for a Hooded Match rear sight. The sight can be rotated one click for a 1/8 MOA adjustment. The hooded sight is so much easier to use to get on target than the flat slab sight. My gun likes Black Hills 308 168 gr Moly Coated HPBT cartridges. I did go to the the range 2 or 3 times a year with different firearms. Years ago, I shot a 5 shot group at 100 yards with 1 flyer. The other 4 shots could be covered with a US quarter. I fired a shot and eye balled it with my spotting scope. I couldn't believe what I saw. I retrieved the target and went home as I knew that I would not shoot any better that day and perhaps any day in the future. Let's reveal in the current glory. That is all. Sergeant out. BTW Love me some Hickok45 for years.
i have one, and it easily does 1000yds. 32moa dope to 1035yds. love pissing off clay birds on the berm :). great caliber, lovely update of my fav battle rifle.
I love this rifle. After driving through 16 states (and visiting 12+ gun/sporting goods stores), 6.5 Creedmoor was this *only* ammo that was consistently available--you won't have to look too hard to keep this well-fed.
Nice video. Good commentary on the ammo; I've been getting South Korean 7.62 NATO in bulk, but that source may have dried up. Generally I try to stick to bog standard ammo: 9mm parabellum, 5.56 NATO, 7.62 NATO, and 12 ga. The only thing I feel like I'm missing from that is 22LR.
The weird stuff is expensive, supplies are dubious, and I haven't seen a compelling case for anything I'd want to do with it.
1 day ago? is RUclips having a stroke
You have a time machine
@@adhamabuirtaimeh7410 patreon members get early access
20ga and .223 are extremely common too, what matters is having it at hand and head on a swivel.
A .22LR would be enough to make me think twice, twice! No small animal is safe from the dinner plate. Want to use 12ga to knock down a pigeon or a .22? I'd save the bird shot for larger fowl.
Just got a Springfield M1A on my birthday... by far my favorite gun in the safe... so accurate I don’t wanna put glass on it at all.
The gong now looks like an egg in a frying pan!
M1a Socom 16 in 6.5 Creedmoor would be my ideal firearm. I just love the look of a compact weapon.
Mine needs to be scout set up.
I’m always a bit disappointed when I see an M1A without the bayo lug.
Not incredibly familiar with the M1A/M14 outside of the fact that it’s had military use; what’s that?
@@baconatorva older M1A’s had a mounting lug on the bottom of the barrel just below the front sight. It gave the rifle a beautiful profile (small as it was). Stupid gun control laws required removal of the lug, so the characteristic profile was lost in newer models.
Big D 1911blacksteel just wanted to let you know, I have enjoyed learning from you you never bash other and actually give real information! You are a great man, great shooter, and awesome to watch thanks for the hard work!!!!!
That’s such a badass rifle
I got my M 14 rifle in 1959 when I went from the Marine Corps to the Army. I enjoy shooting it very much it’s a very good and accurate rifle. I got M1A when Springfield first came out with the special as a match rifle over 30 years ago with the match trigger and barrel. When I was in the 12th Special Forces in 1965 we were issue the M16. But it’s been so long ago I’m not even sure if it was called the M 16 back than.
Greetings from Hungary 🇭🇺🇭🇺 also i wish youre ok i saw you coughing. Could we expect a video about the RPK lmg in the future ?
You may have better luck finding a video on the RPK on Forgotten Weapons. Pretty sure hes done a deep dive on one.
A real full auto RPK or any full auto gun for that matter would be pretty difficult to find but it could happen 🤷♂️
Nice pick ..1st gen American / Hungarian..way things are here ..wish I was back with you all..but seems GOD wants me here in the fight ..best to you n yours ..
I have the loaded version in .308. I do use it for longer range target work, and it does a fine job. As for mags, it eats any of the military supply that I own. A wee bit expensive, but a great rifle.
That round really dumps some energy.
We used these on shipboard rover watch when i was in the Navy and it has been my favorite rifle ever since.
Never mind sending back to Bud’s. Have him bill my CC and send it to me!!
Please, for the love of God, Don't get sick on us. You are one of the only things left that we can watch and just feel normal.
Still rockin’ iron sights on my Creedmoor.
I have the squad scout, I replaced the recoil spring rod and gas piston to match grade. It makes all the difference. I think they might be the best rifle ever made.
Yesterday I thought if there were a M1a in 6.5 and here it is
47sec Now that is a Nice Sound .. .. Love this Guy
That crack when it fires is just awesome
Excellent! A friend let me shoot his M1A Douglas Tactical Barrel (.308); I'm a relatively new shooter (I currently have a 10/22, Mini-14 and Beretta 92FS). What A Machine! Absolutely loved it; his M1A has the beautiful walnut stock - all the range masters kept coming by our bay where we were shooting to admire it - one joked that my friend should just leave it at the range. I sold my Predator in 6.5 Creedmoor; had to have it replaced, and I just wasn't satisfied with it - this M1A in 6.5; I feel like Will Smith in 'Independence Day' when he flew the alien spaceship for the first time and said, 'I have got to get me one of these!'
Mr. Hickok can definitely shoot - I was struck to hear that he's left-eyed dominant; I am as well; I shoot rifles on the left, with my left hand because it's just a lot easier that way
You should do an M1-22 citadel. It's an M1 carbine copy in .22 lr.
They make an M1A pellet gun for $200 too. Its not a real gun but then again you can still buy plenty of pellets.
Whenever he talks to the audience it feels like your right there next to I’m on the range
Thanks for the review, 6.5 creedmoor is one on my list. Awesome video as always.
Enjoyed the video of the 6.5 I am happy that Springfield revitalized an old war horse like the M1A. I have enjoyed watching your videos and keep up the good work.
Interesting coincidence. I pulled my M1A standard issue out of the safe today and shot it. Lots of fun. I will stick with 7.62 for mine.
I enjoy shooting my socom16 more than any other gun I own. It’s heavy, and it’s loud, but so was my ex.🔫
That 6.5cm will shoot circles around a 308 at distance though. Kick your ass up the range and back down again just for fun.
@@gsxr1189 I personally know that out to 600 yards to 308 is just as accurate and hits harder. Past that I could care less.
@@lanceelliott5812 That small bit of extra energy at close range doesn't translate into better terminal performance tho. Hornady has actual professional level ballistics testing(not RUclips amateur testing) results on the LE side of their website that shows that terminally both 308 & 6.5cm are the same at least at close range before the 6.5cm runs away. All you're doing is giving up long range capability and getting nothing in return.
@@gsxr1189 shoot the amount of deer elk and pigs that I do and you'll quickly see the difference that extra energy makes. I own 3 6.5 Creeds so Im no hater but it aint the end of be all cartridge bud. Its great for paper and ok on game. Its got great BC but its the 2nd slowest cartridge (30/30 being the slowest) I hunt with.
I recently bought a 6.5 Creedmoor. I haven't really gotten a chance to open her up at a good distance but so far its been pretty accurate. Especially for a "buget" rifle. I got a Thompson Center and a Crimson Trace scope and I been shooting 1 MOA.
Left eye dominant gang!
Everybody gangsta till grandpa starts shooting
I've always wanted a M14 Scout rifle.
I'm from Australia we need this for pig(& buffalo) hunting when you're on foot no trees to climb...but they banned everything... beautiful timeless piece with synthetic stock ... with a scope for the back blocks distances
It kinda hurt me when Hickok said is that ok with you all at the beginning of the vid we’re all ok with the video and I’m glad he’s safe plus I didn’t know m1as came in the cartridge
I trained first with the M14 in 1966 and loved it . Shot out to 600 meters at silhouette targets of a man. No problem with peep sites. Trained with M16 before shipping over to Vietnam and they said, it had same ballistics and range : - ) what a crock.

20:37 “oh man I can’t see it”
