    Vietnam M70 thread

    Re: Vietnam M70 thread So they were actually "issued". I had heard that the M70's in Vietnam were civilian target rifles. Not technically issued as Sniper Rifles, but used none the less because of their accuracy and the proficiency with which they were deployed. That's just what I've heard...

    Re: Vietnam M70 thread Vintage is probably the right place... I'm curious about them. We're M70's actually "issued"?

    Ammo for 50BMG windrunner

    Re: Ammo for 50BMG windrunner I had a Barrett M99 and it would eat anything. I had some Bosnian 50cal that was very hot. I used it whenever someone wanted to shoot a 50 for the first time. It would clear your sinuses. Anyway, I would be a little nervous if your cases are getting stuck. 50bmg...

    Anyone with experience 1-11 twist?

    Re: Anyone with experience Well... You asked for people who have "used either or both". There may be few who have. In general, both makers are very well known for making excellent barrels. Twist rates are mostly personal preference or dependent on intended use. Personally, I like 1:11.25"...

    My 308 SPSS is SICK!!

    Re: My 308 SPSS is SICK!! Nice! I've discovered Reloader 15 too! It has become my go-to powder. I run 41gr. In Lake City Match Brass and leave mine at an even 2.800. My chamber is an Obermyer Chamber so it's a bit tight. I can barely even feel the brass when I full length re-size it. On a...

    James River Armory 03A4?

    Re: James River Armory 03A4? G'day, I'm no expert on these but here's what I can tell you from my limited research. It seems these repro's are getting better as we go along. Apparently the ones made a few years ago (like some of the earlier Gibbs) were made kind of sloppily and the optics...

    Thinking about getting into 308 reloading.

    Re: Thinking about getting into 308 reloading. For me, reloading is "down-time" and relaxes me. It's been my experience that your own reloaded ammo is also usually far more accurate than factory ammo... Even "Match" ammo... and cheaper! I have 2 presses for reloading .308. I use an RCBS Big...

    SOLVED: Cycling Issue with AR

    Re: Cycling Issue with AR Fantastic! Looks like I was wrong though... Not the first time and certainly not the last! As I think about it I've always gone in the opposite direction with buffer weight and had positive results. I'd get an AR with a crappy factory buffer and swap it with...

    M1 Garand

    Re: M1 Garand I just purchased my last Garand. This one will go to the grave with me. I bought it from an auction site but not the most popular one. Its a CMP gun that someone decided to sell. I don't know the grade but it is like new. Every part is the same vintage (1955) and all...

    Bolt Lube Question

    Re: Bolt Lube Question I spray a little white lithium grease on the back of the lugs when I get to the range. The rest of the bolt is lubed when the rifle is cleaned (which is not very often).
