    What would make a H&R M1A worth more than a Springfield Armory M1A?

    Appears you are correct. Upon further looking, it appears Palmetto ( having acquired the rights to H&R from JJE Capital Holdings after the Remington / Freedom Group bankruptcy dispersal sale ) has done a special retro run of new H&R logo'd receivers with USGI parts for a 60 gun limited run...

    What would make a H&R M1A worth more than a Springfield Armory M1A?

    And, probably, scarcity of an H & R M14 receiver. Only produced under government contract from '59 to '64 ( I believe ).

    Moms now vs back then

    That is the truth - once I got spanked by the nun for misbehaving in class. Went home and told my mom - who told my dad when he got home. Got spanked again ( with his Marine Corps dress belt ) for embarrassing the family's good name. The following day I told the nun that since she spanked me the...

    6mm Mini Short Mag

    My understanding of the WSSM line was to have a shorter powder column that was supposed to mimic the philosophy behind the PPC line of cartridges for enhanced accuracy and power. Unfortunately, didn't seem to work out as well as they had hoped.

    How’s the gun market?

    I'm an old guy - been around a LONG time. Learned my lesson on guns and components back during the Clinton era of hard to get stuff. We've had 3 ( THREE !! ) long term gun stores close within the last 7 months - not entirely due to the economy - but, it was the apparent final straw for each of...

    Adding adjustable cheek to stock

    Stock Doc was "the man" for aftermarket adjustable cheek piece upgrades. I've had LRI do a couple on complete builds with their own accessories and it was super well done. Might try them.

    6mm Mini Short Mag

    I think a factory .243 WSSM in a Winchester WSSM short action and a fast twist barrel will pretty much get you there ( according to Nosler load data ). YMMV.

    Gunsmithing Omega 300 end cap brake adapter

    I've got several Area 419 and American Precision Arms brakes sitting around not currently being used that would be nice to use again. I'd be in for some endcap adapters.

    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    I can tell you with a reasonably high level of certainty that you are already out of room :LOL: LOL. However, very nice job. Looks great.

    223 at 1040

    Nice job - and good write up. (y) As an aside, my son got a PD in MT shooting a .223 with a 75 ELD-M at 1015 yards. Ice picked the PD, and it staggered around for a moment, and then fell over. We found the bullet, and with the exception of the tip, could probably have been reloaded again. :D

    DNI Tulsi Gabbard Releases Over 230,000 Documents Related to MLK Assassination

    I'm kind'a in agreement with a lot of other posters - most of the really incriminating documents have probably been deleted at some point over the years. What they REALLY need to do is get the case files from several different sources and prosecuting jurisdictions ( i.e., Washington DC DOJ, New...

    I think your leg is looking pretty good at this point. (y) Hope you continue to heal well.
