    Put Scope on My Match HBar or Trade It?

    Re: Scope Match HBar or trade it? Thanks for the input. I am also interested in getting a free float handguard and don't care if it is CMP or NRA service rifle legal. If I go the flat top upper with a free floated handguard, do I also probably need a low profile gas block. Any more comments?

    M1A trigger

    Re: M1A trigger If you are going to use it for NRA matches, 4.5 pounds is the minimum total trigger pull to release the hammer. It is a safety thing with the M1 Garand and M1A platforms.

    69 grain or 68 grain (Rem. sps Tactical 223)

    Re: 69 grain or 68 grain (Rem. sps Tactical 223) My boxes of Sierra 69 grains say 7" - 10" TWIST BBLS ONLY. The most recent Sierra Reloading Manual, the 5th edition, still says 7-10 for the 69 grain and the 77 and 80 grain need 7" to 8" twist. That is why I am not in the market for a 1:9...
