    Would you shoot this?

    Man i would scrub it good with a good solvent and bronze brush, patch it dry and shoot away.

    Weekend bump! I might actually have the factory mount it came with in the box it came in. I will double check that and post up pics.

    Only selling this because I upgraded to the MRO HD on the same gun. Clean glass and only wear marks are on the battery cap. Mount not included!!

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    We will see how it goes. I have read that suppressors on the lighter contour barrels might not mesh well together. They are building mine with a 22” heavy contour Criterion so hopefully its not a problem.

    Specs of the scope?

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Not overly concerned about that then since the mk5 has a capped windage turret.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    So progressing right a long with the build and plans.. looking like later this year before the rifle ships but im still acquiring stuff and documenting it here. The Leupold mk5 3-18x44 came in the other day and without the rifle in hand, I have no idea where to start with ring height. I am using...

    PVA now offering AR15 barrels!

    I only have about 70ish rounds through my 20” 6ARC, so im still breaking it in and haven’t done any load development yet. Here is a pic of the first few groups it put down at 100 yards. 87gr vmax and a stiff load of Varget. Barrel had less than 20 rounds on it and those smaller orange dots are...

    Optics ** SOLD** Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 3-15x44 EBR-2D $500

    Gen 2 PST 3-15x44 with the EBR-2D reticle(which was only available for a limited time through certain vendors I believe). Mounted on a 18” AR for midrange work and has been great in that role. Im turning this upper into a designated thermal upper so im looking to recoup some funds. Its in a...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Understood, this project is definitely expensive for me as well and i haven’t even purchased the optic yet. I have wanted one of these for years since seeing Black Hawk Down years ago when it came out. So im not too upset with spending some money and getting a nice one to hopefully teach my kids...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    The options i was looking at have capped windage so thats good to know.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Trying to figure out about how high i would need to get my rings to clear the objective on the scope. I will probably be running a leupold mk 5 3-18 since it is on the small side and a little more compact than other options.

    How high are your scope rings on your rifle? Nice looking gun btw.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    As of right now i payed a deposit on the LRB M25 action and they had a McMillan A3 stock on order already so i tacked that one to the build list(its in m81 so it will look sweet). 22” heavy profile match barrel and all the GI goodies. According to LRB i can expect the rifle to be completed near...

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Based in what im reading, the M14 platform rifle seems to be finicky to suppress but im sure the ammo used and the kind of suppressor effect that. I will be using a velos lbp 7.62 on this gun so im hoping that alleviates some of the typical issues.

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    Good info, why do you say you wouldn’t do your specific build over again?

    M14/M1A built or buy??

    I have been scoping them out more and more as im researching and looking into little nuances like suppressing the platform. So far im leaning into LRB building one for me on their action since it has the integrated optic rail. This will be a forever gun so im ok spending a little more on it than...
