    What's the successor cartridge to the 5.56 NATO?

    Re: What's the successor cartridge to the 5.56 NATO? Caseless ammo might (notice the word might) reduce costs and round weight. New/newer 556 projectiles will probably keep the 556 AR platform going until caseless or some other game changer gets deployed. My $0.05 worth.

    Re: Falcon M51R 1.5-5X30 IR scope instructions link Haven't mounted it yet. I probably won't do so for a couple of more months. I was going to try to finish building an A3 upper for my A2 NRA service rifle in time for the TSRA Mid-Range championships at Camp Swift at Bastrop in three weeks...

    Rifle Scopes Falcon M5IR/M51R 1.5-5X30 IR instructions link

    I bought a Falcon M5IR/M51R 1.5-5X30 scope on a group buy a year and a half ago. The box had no instructions. Here is a link to a Falcon info sheet on the M5IR. On the page is a link to an "Equipment Overview - PDF Diagram" with detailed information on the M5IR. Maybe this will help others.

    Just received my 700 AAC-SD

    Re: Just received my 700 AAC-SD What does the "Tactical Rifling" stamped in the barrel mean? How many grooves does it have? If "Tactical Rifling" means a 1:10 twist, my thirty year old ADL has "Tactical Rifling".

    Re: Garand experts need some help please The SA/GAW stock is appropriate to the serial number of your M1. Both are from the time of Col. Woody. According to Scott Duff, the GAW stock stamp was used until late Fall, 1944. The Enfield was a good rifle. But, you might consider putting it in...

    Evaluation of a M1A failure

    Re: Evaluation of a M1A failure If the bridge is not locking the firing pin back until the bolt rotates into locked position, then it could be the firing pin. But, if the bridge firing pin safety notch is intact, yes, the bolt itself can fire the high primer. The problem is the high primer...

    Evaluation of a M1A failure

    Re: Evaluation of a M1A failure As several prior posters have said, check ammo and more info. Sounds and looks like an "out of battery", bolt not locked in place, discharge of the cartridge, probably due to a high primer. Did the bolt impact the back of the receiver? If so, out of battery...
