Re: RIMFIRE TECHNOLOGIES / EGW MOA BASE review I got my RT base in last week. I opted for the no-cant version for my .17 HMR. It fits absolutely perfectly. My only complaint is that the rear screws don't have dedicated holes for each one. It's more of a groove that allows fitment on the...

Re: Need some advice on a M1A If you're going to get an M1A to transfer to a new chassis system, get the "loaded" model. The loaded offers a lot of the NM upgrades and is the ideal platform to drop in to an aftermarket chassis. Like the others stated above, you lose the bedding that a NM...

Re: Rear lugged vs. non M1A? The benefits are as stated in the above posts. There are a few rear AND front lugged receivers out there. A friend of mine has 2 LRB M25 dual lugged receivers. I feel a single rear lug is sufficient if you plan to bed the rifle. If you're looking for a...

Re: RIMFIRE TECHNOLOGIES / EGW MOA BASE review I'm going right now to place my order for a RT 93R17 base after reading your review. Thanks!

Re: Caution...M1A Porn And one of mine!

Re: M1A / Black Betty gets a new skirt No doubt about it...the wood is where it's at. I wish I had done this to my SOCOM before selling it. I went with the SAGE EBR chassis. If I had it to do again, I would likely go the wood route.

Re: LRB M25/SEI Crazy Horse Scope mount question The M25 rail will ride lower than the SEI...no doubt about that. If you want to use irons, don't sink your money in to an M25. The M25 is hands down the best M1A platform to use optics with. No scope mount issues, and a rock solid design...

Re: M1A - Need opinions IMO, the loaded models are absolutely the best bang for the buck. You can upgrade to the Sadlak NM spring guide, have the gas cylinder unitized, and have the action bedded and still be under the price of a new NM model. For what you're looking to do, the loaded is...

Re: I guess I should break down and get an AR ..... If you want to go the custom route, take a look at the Les Baer upper and lower which come made as a set so the fit is phenomenal. Or, you could go with a high-end lower such as a Les Baer or LMT and slap on a pre-built White Oaks Armament...

Re: Robert Gradous's Tactical Rifle Gunsmithing Cl WOW! I have been considering doing a "no holds barred" bolt build for some time now. Just tonight I stumbled across the name Robert Gradous. After doing plenty of research, he will be my builder. There's nothing like dozens of satisfied...

Re: EBR accuracy help The OP has his M1A riding in a SAGE EBR which uses a proprietary op rod guide block for installation. The rifle is essentially bedded using 3 hex head bolts which attach through the stock to the op rod guide block. One of the advantages of this EBR chassis are that the...

Re: EBR accuracy help Check your gas cylinder for play. A lot of accuracy issues with the M1A can either be traced to the stock or the gas system. I think your stock is more than adequate given the bedding block.

Re: Anniston purchase I have been considering one of these Kimbers for months now after hearing from a friend that the "rust" was a non-issue. I may have to make the 6 hour hike up there to check out the selection. Seems like you got yourself a very nice specimen there! Hope she shoots as...

Re: Which M1A? The Springfiled offerings are the best "bang for the buck" currently. With the lifetime warranty--which follows the gun and not the original owner--it's hard to beat 'em. Now if you're looking for a rock solid rifle that will perform, take your time and source all USGI...

Re: M1A Magazines, which are good, which to avoid ?? USGI are the best bet for reliable operation. USGI mags are stamped on the body of the mag, not the floorplate. CMI is the best new option out there right now.
