I spent half the day at the CMP store today and it was a mad house. I never got to ask about the XM3, I could not find the person I know whom works there that would have an idea about the details behind the rifle. The store was packed, they had put out some Garands and M1903a3's and the word...

Can Do, I'm going by the south store tomorrow and I'll ask if I can speak to the armorer that handles the auction items. I've known him for some time but have not spoken in a year or more so this rifle is as good a reason to check in on him as any other. Ive got a good friend that works at...

The CMP gets most for their stuff from the Aniston Army Depot, it could have been a weapon the Army tested, it could have ended up at the Depot by mistake or the Depot maybe the designated repair facility to do the repairs/upgrades or disposal on these. The XM3 was a DARPA program rifle so with...

Save your pocket change, Looks like the CMP got their hands on a XM-3 sniper rifle. I'm hoping to win the Loto before this one goes to auction. Anyone care to guess what she'll sale for when it does hit their auction page? LOL I bet a ruck sack full of 20's want touch it. Help identify a...

I had a Spikes on top of a Bushmaster lower. Had to play with the hammer spring to get it to run correctly. I decided I wanted the Bushy lower for another build so I completed a 80 polymer lower and built a dedicated 22 with the Spikes upper as the heart of the weapon. It's fairly accurate...

I've had three DPMS 308's and now have a factory 243 from DPMS. All have been very accuracy considering they are gas guns. Often MOA or better groups with hand loads. If you're shooting sub two MOA with factory ammo I'd look to maybe build my own ammo and try it again. As well the DPMS...

CDNN and PSA both had recent sales on Colts, The PSA Colt that's 699 is not made by Colt but a licensed build rifle from some company in Texas. Last year CDNN sold some Police trade in Colts for 749.00 shipped with a couple 30 round mags. There at least a dozen Colt M69XX carbines on...

Very nice shooting, and a great looking weapon. Who's gas tube did you use for the extra 2"? Did you have one made? I shoot iron sights all the time on my 40X, Palma or Moe's rear and Olympic front. I've called it my iron sight gun at NRA, GSSA and local matches for twenty years and never...

If you're going to machine your own side charger I'd go with a 40 dollar blem. upper from PSA or one of the other parts provider. No need to pay full price for an upper that is going under the knife. I've built on three PSA blem's so far and all have been fine with little or no defects...

Don't you hate it when your fingers are all sticky with frog lube?

Well my BCG came out of a factory .243 DPMS rifle, which is the same as the .308. I've owned three others factory DPMS .308 rifles but sold the others when things got crazy and made a few bucks. All four rifles BCG's looked just like the one above so my guess is what you have is not DPMS...

I've owned four DPMS LR's, still have a 243. The bolt you show does not look like the bolt in my rifle. The locking lugs do not look the same to me.

You mean the relief cut opposite of the extractor? If so then yes on the three newer rifles. The one rifle with the lowest S/N does not have this mod. But the three others do. Not sure if you can ask for CDNN to inspect for this or if they would charge more to do so. Most likely the rifles...

more of the same rifles The LE marked rifle has an "A2" profile barrel The other three are not marked LE only and have a medium tapered profile under the HG's.

CDNN was running a good deal on their retail side for dealers about three weeks ago. price was 649.99 plus five mags for a Armalite M15A2 LE trade in Carbines. They must have traded S&W MP15's for the Armalite as all six that I've seen now came in S&W boxes. Shipping on two rifles was 19.99...

I've shot many sub MOA groups with LC brass. Prep is key. Separate by head stamp. LC munitions plant is operated by contract with civilian munitions companies and the brass does change from contract to contract. I separate by year, clean, de-prime, do a full match prep and then weigh the...

M118 has a 173 grain Full Metal Clad Boat tail bullet. State of the art in the 1930's when it was designed for the 1903 rifle and became the 30-06 M1 Ball round. When replaced for combat use by the 150 grain M2 round the M1 round was later developed, newer powders and better quality control...

I swear I think the CMP could auction a used snot rag.

Quads are nice but they are not an Anschutz. The trigger needs allot of help to be anything like an Anschutz. That said I own two Quads and if the price was like they were a few years ago I'd own more. I made one into a switch barrel gun and put it in a Bench Rest stock. The thought was I...

I have to completely disagree. The scope having an offset to the left of 1.5 inch zeroed at 100 to the point of impact the weapon will have a POI of 1.5 to the let at 200 if no windage correction is made. I've built quite a few M1d's and shot them for many decades. The POI change is 3.0 inch...
