    M1a - vs - AR308

    Re: M1a - vs - AR308 M14s: + Slower felt impulse than most AR 308s. + Long front site base makes it a lot of fun for using irons. +/- Less dirty than a DI AR, but a lot more dirty than a piston AR. + Less susceptible to failure due to dust/dirt. - Everything is tougher/more expensive to work...

    Re: Quantico, VA and the Greater DC area Its match season at QSC--go to the match section in the lower right corner to see the status of range 4 (most used rifle range). Range 1 is usually up every other weekend.

    MK11 Mod 0 compared to EMR

    Comparing the MK11 to the EMR, is there any difference in the shooting experience in terms of accuracy, balance, reliability with heavier loads, etc.? I've heard competing claims that the ejection problems in the MK11 were (or not) fixed by KAC in commercially released versions. The best...

    Gunsmithing 1903A4 stock help

    Re: 1903A4 stock help The oil did the trick. Its about 90% of what it was after three coats. I'm adding about one coat a day, and suspect that it will be back to 100% by the end of this week. Next time I shoot it, I will have towels all over the stock during cleaning. Thanks

    Gunsmithing 1903A4 stock help

    Got a little bore solvent on my 03A4 stock and it acted like a light turpentine on the red stain--leaving a lighter color where the solvent came into contact with the wood. Is there anything I can do to clean this up? The stock is in great shape, so I feel like a real dumb__s for doing this...

    AE owners, I need your input....

    Re: AE owners, I need your input.... Not much to dislike with the AE, but here goes: -- 1:12 twist with no factory option to 1:10 -- I like the AW safety design better (personal preference) -- Can't reload the magazine while its in the rifle (at least I couldn't) I would still take an AE...

    Army lessens standards.....again.

    Re: Army lessens standards.....again. One of the units I was with had a female aerobics instructor two-days a week for PT. It was an all-male unit. We were laughing for about 5 minutes in the first session. Strength is one thing, but strength/coordination/balance is something completely...

    Army lessens standards.....again.

    Re: Army lessens standards.....again. Going back to the "good ole days" when I went through Basic Infantry training in 1988 as an E2, I remember my share of useful exercises like the high jumper, turn and bounce, and knee bender. I've never understood how the sit-up made us more battle-ready...

    Shooters vs. Collectors

    Re: Shooters vs. Collectors I shoot what I collect--gives me a feeling for the challenges of my earlier Army brethren. Currently, I have an M1903A4/M73B1, M1D/M84, and (replica) XM21/ART-TEL. Just remembering how to operate the various scopes keeps this a challenge. I go for the most...

    LWRC REPR Video Overview

    Re: LWRC REPR Video Overview Great video review. For the last unique feature of the REPR, I'd recommend firing about 250 rounds suppressed and then letting folks see how clean the piston system is. The 5 minute clean-up is the #1 feature of this rifle in my book.

    Storm Mountain Training

    Re: Storm Mountain Training I did LRR1&2. Great facility, instructors had recent real-world experience and were there to teach, and fantastic weather for shooting (read that as everything thrown at you that you can think of--all within 20 minutes). The place is great for wind and ok for...

    Advanced Marksmanship Shooting in the rain POI question

    Re: Shooting in the rain POI question Have never noticed a difference in dope due to rain--and that was shooting to 800Y (couldn't see beyond that). Related, I have never seen a change in my dope due to barometric pressure changes from passing fronts, either (big fronts--like pre-hurricane...

    REPR Groups

    Re: REPR Groups LWRCI board has some recommendations. Best I've gotten was .7-.8 out of American Ballistics 175. Black Hills 175s shot above 1. FGMM was .8-1. I'm going to try Corbons and a few others before going to custom ammo. I think the barrel has the accuracy potential, but that the...

    Scope mount for AI AW

    Re: Scope mount for AI AW With the elevation travel of the S&B 5-25 and a 45MOA mount, I've never topped it out in a 308 (beyond 1100) or a 300WM (out to 1600) or my 22LR (out to 300). (And yes, you can clearly see 22LR bullet impacts with the S&B at that range.) You will get a little black...

    Scope mount for AI AW

    Re: Scope mount for AI AW You don't get that with a 45MOA mount and 5-25, and I dry-fire at 32 feet. At 100Y, I'm 6mils off the bottom travel of the scope.
