    M1A trigger

    Re: M1A trigger This may be a stupid question but you realized this is a two stage trigger. Assuming you do understand it's a two stage trigger, are you saying that after taking up the first stage there is another 1/4 inch of travel before the trigger breaks?

    Beretta CX4 9mm vs .40

    Re: Beretta CX4 9mm vs .40 No experience with this rifle but do offer this. 9mm shoots flatter and 40s/w has more bullet weigh therefore more punch. That seems to be the better question. What's more important to you. But if I wanted a carbine type rifle, It would seem the better choice, for...

    Rifle Scopes Elcan Specter

    Re: Elcan Specter I have one and it works fine. I don't have any experience with wiggle. As a matter of fact it's rock solid for me. I love the switch for power. I have used it in a few matches and it held up great. No POA/POI shifts and it helps make solid hits out to 300
