    Diversified Innovative Products+ EGW base review

    Re: RIMFIRE TECHNOLOGIES / EGW MOA BASE review I got my RT base in last week. I opted for the no-cant version for my .17 HMR. It fits absolutely perfectly. My only complaint is that the rear screws don't have dedicated holes for each one. It's more of a groove that allows fitment on the...

    Need some advice on a M1A

    Re: Need some advice on a M1A If you're going to get an M1A to transfer to a new chassis system, get the "loaded" model. The loaded offers a lot of the NM upgrades and is the ideal platform to drop in to an aftermarket chassis. Like the others stated above, you lose the bedding that a NM...

    Rear lugged vs. non M1A?

    Re: Rear lugged vs. non M1A? The benefits are as stated in the above posts. There are a few rear AND front lugged receivers out there. A friend of mine has 2 LRB M25 dual lugged receivers. I feel a single rear lug is sufficient if you plan to bed the rifle. If you're looking for a...

    M1A / Black Betty gets a new skirt

    Re: M1A / Black Betty gets a new skirt No doubt about it...the wood is where it's at. I wish I had done this to my SOCOM before selling it. I went with the SAGE EBR chassis. If I had it to do again, I would likely go the wood route.

    LRB M25/SEI Crazy Horse Scope mount question

    Re: LRB M25/SEI Crazy Horse Scope mount question The M25 rail will ride lower than the SEI...no doubt about that. If you want to use irons, don't sink your money in to an M25. The M25 is hands down the best M1A platform to use optics with. No scope mount issues, and a rock solid design...

    M1A - Need opinions

    Re: M1A - Need opinions IMO, the loaded models are absolutely the best bang for the buck. You can upgrade to the Sadlak NM spring guide, have the gas cylinder unitized, and have the action bedded and still be under the price of a new NM model. For what you're looking to do, the loaded is...

    I guess I should break down and get an AR .....

    Re: I guess I should break down and get an AR ..... If you want to go the custom route, take a look at the Les Baer upper and lower which come made as a set so the fit is phenomenal. Or, you could go with a high-end lower such as a Les Baer or LMT and slap on a pre-built White Oaks Armament...

    EBR accuracy help

    Re: EBR accuracy help The OP has his M1A riding in a SAGE EBR which uses a proprietary op rod guide block for installation. The rifle is essentially bedded using 3 hex head bolts which attach through the stock to the op rod guide block. One of the advantages of this EBR chassis are that the...
