    m1a accuracy

    Re: m1a accuracy Is the M1A National Match setup for 168 grain bullets? I have one and have only ever shot 150 & 147 grn milsurp through it- one of these days I should try some of that American Eagle 168grn.... maybe after the panic subsides and I can find some. Or crack open a battlepack of...

    Movie Theater these preppers seem even dumber than usual

    Re: these preppers seem even dumber than usual I think the whole point of the show is to A) cash in on what they perceive as a "fad" and B) fuel some airtime with the type of voyeurism demonstrated on American Idol etc. where borderline autistic people get mocked to their face and don't even...

    Crescent Customs FN Build: That'll do, Moon...

    Re: Crescent Customs FN Build: That'll do, Moon... Great-looking & shooting rifle! I really need to go fondle an FN SPR, I had a R700 LTR that shot great but I have big hands and the stock felt a little cramped up while bench shooting, ended up trading it awy. The factory FN stock seems like...

    Rifle Scopes Midwest Ind. Mini Dot AK mount

    Anyone use this? I thought it looked decent for my Burris Fastfire II so I picked one up: https://www.midwestindustriesinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=421 Turns out the part under the optic is held to the front half in a dovetail union, held together by a SINGLE...

    Seized by price nostalgia ...

    Re: Seized by price nostalgia ... Makes me want to buy cases of AK-74 ammo, 7.62x54R, .30 carbine, 7.62x25 (relatively cheap) and hold them as an investment- probably do better than a 401K! I remember $79 SKS all day long in the late 90's, never wanted one till I saw a poster hanging in the...

    Already went round & round with my M1A from irons to Leupold 10X MKIII to ACOG 5.5 back to irons....irons it is for my NM but have been toying with the idea of an Aimpoint on my M1A bush rifle... already have an A.R.M.S. #18 unused but like that Ultimak rail... anyone here try a RDS both ways...

    .308 target ammo

    Re: .308 target ammo I sighted in a scope with some Russian Brown Bear in my PTR-91 to get close, when I switched to the PRVI M80 the group sizes shrunk exactly in half (for what it's worth)... I'm sure the PRVI is more accurate than me at this point.

    Any gardeners out there?

    Re: Any gardeners out there? For me the hardest part is the dedication.. long hours, long commute. So far I have 2 potato condos, I think it's time to take them apart, and a tomato plant that seems to be doing great. I want to learn NOW before my life depends on it, if the US comes to that...

    M1A Question

    Re: M1A Question My national match 22" does it, it has at least 1K rounds through it. Seems to do it more with the USGI Flash hider on it ( had it on for a while while living in Florida). With the Ca-legal comp on it I don't notice it as much, although I've never stood next to it or...

    Fieldcraft Plate carriers. Can a civilian legally own one?

    Re: Plate carriers. Can a civilian legally own one? I used to think civilians who wanted to own them were kooks etc. but after my last trip to an outdoor unstaffed range out here I think differently- got muzzleswept several times by idiots, haven't been back since. If I had the extra $$$ for...

    mini 14

    Re: mini 14 Suitable for anything inside 100-150 yards based on my experience with my 580 ranch. I've never tried quality ammo through it, I figure why waste time? Good ranch/truck type gun. Will go bang every single time, no exceptions (provided good mags are used).

    mini 14

    Re: mini 14 I have a newer 580 ranch, I think they are much more accurate than the older ones because it doesn't deserve the reputation- I was making a coors light can dance pretty consistently the other day(200 yds), fairly rapid fire (with some crappy Wolf ammo). Accuracy falls off big time...

    Stepping into the M1A world

    Re: Stepping into the M1A world I have a 22"bbl National Match and an 18"bbl Bush model... the trigger on the NM is like an entirely different gun (both are USGI). Zero feed/function problems ever (with the appropriate mags)The Scott Duff book claims that bedding "needs to be redone" every...

    Receiver rugs-blown primers

    Re: Receiver rugs-blown primers Happened to me once at the range in 2001 in Fl. shooting PMC bronze in an Eagle (Armalite) AR-15... trigger completely locked up, took it apart and a primer was lodged underneath moving parts. My thought was "holy crap what a horrible thing that would be to...

    Rifle Scopes PSA: 50mm scope on HK-91/clones (PIC)

    Well, I got my Vortex Viper PST 4-16x50 mounted in an HK 30mm claw mount and it BARELY clears the charging handle. Mine has a larger one (from an HK-21). Eye relief is 4" this will be the deciding factor as to whether the setup "works" or not, I think it will though. I shoot left-handed so I'll...
