....you either figured it out, or you just unknowingly figured out the reason behind the high asking price with the last four words of your last sentence...oh, and you are mistaken about the scope being too high, read my previous post, the pictures alone are deceiving, I'm not a professional...

...rear sight is attached to the forward (scout) picatinny rail, which is secured to the barrel, it's rock solid. The rear flip-up is pretty far forward so you do have to use the bigger (0-200) peep, but it lines up with your eye perfectly and works way better than I thought it would, I was...

...hey, angry guy, I'll let you in on a little secret (don't tell anybody), you can use the flip-up iron either way, it functions the same (I utilized it the way I did so I can quickly flip the objective lens cover off without obstruction). You're must be the resident tough guy, but if that's...

....no, I said specifically that you're uninformed JMGlasgow. I fully acknowledge there are tons of folks out there that know more than me. Funny thing is, all those folks that know more than you and I, unlike you, have not rudely mentioned how flawed this rifle is. I never said my rifle is a...

...that scope mount is actually a thing of beauty. It solves a variety of mounting issues often found on M1A's, the best of which is stability/rigidity. The M1A receiver was removed from the barrel and the top bridges were milled perfectly square to the bore. They were then drilled/tapped to...

...you may want to read and examine the pictures a little closer (those aren't full size silhouette targets, but rather miniatures on 9X11 sheets of paper...you're a "smart" socialist Swede, so you can probably figure what that paper size is in metric, jerk-off), your shotgun shoots subMOA at...

...thanks for the input MLC, you know I've done a little bit of shooting myself, instead of telling someone how a "smart" person like yourself would've done it, why don't you build your own M1A and post it here for review. I'll be happy to take a look at it and give you my critique. Actually...

...I'll solve the mystery, yes, it's backwards, with the short rail/limited space to position it, if you run it the other way, it folds down towards the scope and interferes with quickly pulling the bikini lens cover off....the flip-ups are pure back-up, sometimes you have to adapt/improvise and...

...damn, are you serious diverdon? I've been there brother, you better lighten up before you have a coronary...it ain't worth it. As for my "acumen" as a builder, anybody using that word is obviously the one looking to impress people. I'm a bolt rifle builder by trade, I'm pure amateur when...

...the threading you can cut/utilize are limited by the diameter of the barrel/bore at that point, it's very slim in front of the gas assembly, and 1/2x28 was the most logical choice because you can use a multitude of brakes with standard AR 1/2-28 threads and then easily ream them out to...

...dang, you're incredibly perceptive LRI, saw right through it didn't you, you got me, guilty as charged...why don't you shoot Lowlight a PM and tattle on me...maybe you'll get some brownie points...

...I'm like most bolt rifle guys, I tinker with a semi-auto here and there, thought some of you might be interested in this particular one, shoots sub MOA, but shouldn't... Take a look, it is for sale in that section as well... Soltis Rifles, Customized Springfield Armory M1A Scout Rifle...

...thought the Hide members might like to check this out....for the man who thought he had everything (Note, it's for sale in the "for sale" section if you're interested) Soltis Rifles, Customized Springfield Armory M1A Scout Rifle, .308 Winchester, “Armageddon” Special My favorite...

...don't overthink it, DuraCoat is very forgiving when it comes to sticking to things, degrease/scuff and paint, it'll stick fine.....

...possibly, but regardless, it's a very minimal investment to buy a new follower/spring/box...
