"Coch's" Career with the M1A
Retired Navy SEAL Coch details his extensive career with the M1A/M14 rifle, starting from SEAL Team 5 in the 80s. He discusses the preference for 7.62 NATO over 5.56 NATO for stopping power and the evolution of stocks from the BM59 to modern EBR chassis. Coch highlights the 18-inch barrel as a balance of maneuverability and capability, particularly with a specific Springfield Armory muzzle brake.
