    M1A Question

    Dumb question but kinda bugging me. I used to hear a ding noise when dry firing my M1a after the trigger is pulled, like a resonating echo I guess is the best description. Anyways, now I dont hear that noise with that rifle, but I do hear it with my brand new standard M1A. Does this mean the...

    Hard to work m1a bolt with mag in??

    Basically I cant bring the bolt back all the way when I put a empty mag in and slowly bring bolt back or decently hard as well. ( The bolt is binding with the mag lips im guessing) When I put a snap cap however in, the bolt does not bind or have problems. The rifle is brand new. Does it need to...

    Cant get barrel lined up right?

    M1A Op Rod

    How much play is there supposed to be in the op rod/charging handle? It seems that in mine there is a little bit of wiggle and I am able to move it around slightly. Is this a big deal/problem? I feel like there needs to be a little play but not sure.

    What is this noise?

    I dont know how I noticed this but on my m1a when the bolt is held open I can hear something sliding slightly back and forth when I tilt the gun foward then backwards. Does anyone know what is moving back and forth. I dont notice it when the bolt is closed however.

    Rem 700 sticky bolt

    Recently bought a new 700 and it seems the bolt is stiff to get into the chamber. Bolt lift and close are normal. It feels like the lugs are slightly binding with the chamber as the bolt enters, because otherwise the bolt is smooth moving around until the bolt face actually reaches the chamber...

    Rem 700 MLR 338 Lapua

    Just a quick overview of my new purchase, which im not thrilled about, although I have not shot it yet. The stock feels somewhat cheap and cardboard like. There is more space/room on one side between the stock and barrel, as if they improperly torked the action screws at the factory. The bolt is...
