    H110 . and . Win 296

    Re: H110 . and . Win 296 I had a similar issue using H110 for some .30 carbine reloads. I ran out midway through my reloading session so I was forced to use WIN296 instead. Although the load data is identical, you'll still want to load up some test rounds. In my case, I found that even...

    CMP match season has started

    Re: CMP match season has started 496 isn't a good score, that's a phenomenal score. Shooting like that, you could be in contention for WINNING the P100 or NTI. Best I've ever managed was a 481 full course.

    How to pull a 17HMR bullet?

    Re: How to pull a 17HMR bullet? SigTauJohn: I've got a .17HMR bullet you can have if you like. It's a little tarnished from handling & sitting on my desk for a couple months, but there are no pull-marks on it. I retrieved it from a defective 17HMR round that had the bullet set back into the...

    Re: M1A stringing Are you shooting iron sights? If so, check the following: - loose nut on the windage knob - worn elevation pinion - worn rear sight spring cover

    M1a favorite reloads

    Re: M1a favorite reloads Here's a good load to shoot in the standing & sitting rapid strings at the 200yd line. Recoil is quite tame and it's extremely accurate. Speer 125gr TNT 41.0gr IMR 4895 USGI brass WLR primer 2.75" OAL

    M14 Mags

    Re: M14 Mags I don't think that there are any current factory guns (other than the M14/M1A) that use M14 mags. However, I think that Robar used to offer a conversion to accept M14 magazines, but that was a long time ago.

    Damn-it... Dropped my rifle!

    Re: Damn-it... Dropped my rifle! Ugh... feel your pain. I dropped my CMP/NRA service rifle upper in the garage while cleaning it a couple weeks ago. Visual inspection showed that I now had a VERY noticeable cant on the FSB. Of course... I did this a week before my last EIC match of the...

    Rock River LAR-40 (.40 S&W)

    Re: Rock River LAR-40 (.40 S&W) Not a .40, but I own the A4 9mm version. Fun gun, but recoil is a bit stout on it. I swapped out the factory stock hardware for Magpul MOE parts and the rifle feels a bit more comfortable now. I've experienced no issues with magazines. However, mine is...

    Best M1A Trigger?

    Re: Best M1A Trigger? I guess it depends on who did the work. I once strayed from my usual gunsmith and had the trigger group on my NM M1 Garand worked on. It went south after a few hundred rounds, breaking around 3.5#, and wouldn't make weight at inspection. I'll throw out a name for you...

    Best M1A Trigger?

    Re: Best M1A Trigger? Honestly... I can't ever remember seeing anything other than a two-stage trigger for the M1A BattleAxe. Other than having an existing trigger group worked on, the only other unit I've seen is the Rader trigger group, by Springfield. I believe it's adjustable down to 3.5#

    M1A scout FTE.

    Re: M1A scout FTE. In the future, there's also the boot-stomp method to extract a stuck case from the chamber. Simply place the butt of the rifle on the ground, grab & hold by the muzzle and use the heel of your boot to kick the op-rod. I've used that trick and highpower matches in the past...

    whit oak uppers

    Re: whit oak uppers You can't go wrong with an upper from White Oak Armament or White Oak Precision. John is a top notch highpower shooter and he sells good stuff. I've got a WOA upper that's on it's third barrel and still holding strong. Now that the AR15 panic is waning, the wait times...

    Accurized Marlin 917

    Re: Accurized Marlin 917 I had read about the Halo mounts on this forum, but had to email the owners about the Marlin mounts. They weren't listed on the site, but they do make batches of them from time to time. I'm pretty sure that it has NO slope to it.

    Accurized Marlin 917

    Here's my contribution to the rimfire forum: a Marlin 917V that I had accurized. I've owned this rifle for a few years but never did any serious shooting with it since it never really shot that well. The best that I could get was about an inch at 100yds. However, I found a 'smith that...

    Scope mount/M1A

    Re: Scope mount/M1A My M1A is a competition rifle shooting irons-only, but Smith Enterprise & Basset Machine are supposed to be top notch mounts.

    Garand gas cylinder question.

    Re: Garand gas cylinder question. I find it's easiest to remove the oprod catch/bullet guide/spring & follower arm first. Once those are out the oprod can easily be removed with a minimum of wiggling. A good tight fitting gas cylinder is one of the keys to accuracy in the M1. It's OK to...

    Sniper Type M1A Price Check

    Re: Sniper Type M1A Price Check With the USGI parts and all the accessories, that sounds like a fair price. Of course, that may be +/- depending on condition of the rifle, barrel, etc. Any provenance you have on the rifle will help justify the price too.

    Pact Professional chrono XP

    Re: Pact Professional chrono XP Connect the chrono to your laptop via serial cable. Press MENU-4 on the chrono to put in it PC-connect mode. Download away! I have noticed that the shotbrower app from PACT's website will only download the first 8 rounds of a string. I normally shoot 10...
