    Gas Gun Groups Thread

    I just noticed this thread. Mind if I play? I shot this with my M14 the other day. 1.2 MOA at 600 yards for 11 rounds with a 10 MPH crosswind. The first six rounds probably landed within 1/2 MOA. 169 grain SMK, 42.6 grains of IMR-4064, LC cases, Remington 9-1/2 primers. That came from this...

    My Magnum Opus build. I'm naming it King Roland, of Druidia

    Frank did a run back in 2023. He's supposed to do another run later this year. It's un-chambered and has no crown. I have to cut an extra inch off the muzzle.

    My Magnum Opus build. I'm naming it King Roland, of Druidia

    I just got my LRB M25 rear lug receiver this morning. Through some sweet talk, I managed to reserve this receiver and have a rear lug welded on to it. Why this receiver? It has the serial number 12345. I noticed the serial number trend a while back and inquired about it before it was made and...

    The Shot You’ll Never Forget Giveaway - Enter To Win A Barrel From Rifle Barrel Blanks!

    I went to the Port Malabar Rifle and Pistol Club 600 yard line on September 18, 2024 to get some practice time in with my son for the vintage sniper matches. As I was packing the truck, I looked at my M1 Garand and I figured it was time for me to get some trigger time with this fine rifle. It...

    With good match ammo, you can expect somewhere in the 1.75 MOA to 2.75 MOA range.

    Eotech vs Acog vs razor 1-6

    I'm late to the party, but for a short barrelled AR, I prefer the Aimpoint. I have one on my AR pistol and it serves the desired purpose. Forgiving eye relief, wide FOV and all that. Zero it at 50 yards and call it good. I wouldn't use it beyond 100 yards. For my 14.5" to 20" AR's, I like the...

    11 shots for 1.2 MOA at 600 yards with my M14

    I was testing a load in my vintage sniper M14 last week and managed to score a 100-6X at 600 yards for 1.2 MOA. If I included the sighter, it would be 110-7X. I scored 6 X's in a row until the wind blew me out of the X-ring. I fought to bring it back in and managed to finish with an X. Moved...

    Building my first M40 for the Vintage Sniper matches.

    The build is coming along nicely. I got the new bolt in from PTG and it fits great! Looks like primary extraction is dead on. I may just true up the receiver face and build this as-is and test it with the factory barrel I have just to see how it shoots. Later on down the line when I get my...

    REMINGTON 700 PROBLEMS

    He has primary extraction issues and doesn't have a competent gunsmith in Argentina that can fix it. I recommend finding a welder that can do it this way:

    Building my first M40 for the Vintage Sniper matches.

    Well, the project is coming along faster than I expected. I managed to get in on the group by for a Bartlein barrel. I PM'd Frank and he got me in. I paid $400 for the barrel which included shipping. The barrel will be ready around July. I sold off a M14 scope mount and bought a new Remington...

    School me on triggers for the M40

    Thanks! How about a Timney or Jewell, single stage? Tunable?

    School me on triggers for the M40

    Please school me on triggers and why I should prefer one over the other for this rifle. What would you use for your Vintage Sniper rifle?

    Building my first M40 for the Vintage Sniper matches.

    Well, it turns out that there is a coinciding "1" stamped on the stock, and the buttplate was parkerized after fitting. So the buttplate is original to the stock. Fits nicely too. Tony.

    Okay, Okay, I won't add pillars! This is one of those cases where I really didn't know what I have. Here are the markings on the buttplate. What's the significance of the additional markings? I'll be happy to build your rifles when the barrels are done. Tony.

    Building my first M40 for the Vintage Sniper matches.

    This is a virgin Remington 700 RR prefix stripped receiver. It has no wear marks at all and has never had a bolt installed. I pulled the barrel off this receiver for the previous owner 2 years ago. The barrel is new and un-fired. I just hand screwed it on for the picture. This will be for...

    A friendly accuracy challenge. Beat the match conditioned M14's/M1A's! (Piston-driven rifles)

    I shot a vintage sniper match this weekend at Port Malabar. Here are the results. Distances were 300 and 600 yards. The LRB M14 with the Lothar Walther ICR barrel performed superbly! This is a no-lug rifle bedded into a composite stock with a heavy Lothar Walther ICR barrel. We shot prone...

    A friendly accuracy challenge. Beat the match conditioned M14's/M1A's! (Piston-driven rifles)

    Nice shooting! Are these piston-driven AR's? (M110's come in DI and Piston, don't they?)
