    Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles, One-of-a-Kind Battle Rig

    ....you either figured it out, or you just unknowingly figured out the reason behind the high asking price with the last four words of your last sentence...oh, and you are mistaken about the scope being too high, read my previous post, the pictures alone are deceiving, I'm not a professional...

    Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles, One-of-a-Kind Battle Rig

    ...rear sight is attached to the forward (scout) picatinny rail, which is secured to the barrel, it's rock solid. The rear flip-up is pretty far forward so you do have to use the bigger (0-200) peep, but it lines up with your eye perfectly and works way better than I thought it would, I was...

    Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles, One-of-a-Kind Battle Rig

    ...hey, angry guy, I'll let you in on a little secret (don't tell anybody), you can use the flip-up iron either way, it functions the same (I utilized it the way I did so I can quickly flip the objective lens cover off without obstruction). You're must be the resident tough guy, but if that's...

    Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles, One-of-a-Kind Battle Rig

    ....no, I said specifically that you're uninformed JMGlasgow. I fully acknowledge there are tons of folks out there that know more than me. Funny thing is, all those folks that know more than you and I, unlike you, have not rudely mentioned how flawed this rifle is. I never said my rifle is a...

    Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles, One-of-a-Kind Battle Rig

    ...that scope mount is actually a thing of beauty. It solves a variety of mounting issues often found on M1A's, the best of which is stability/rigidity. The M1A receiver was removed from the barrel and the top bridges were milled perfectly square to the bore. They were then drilled/tapped to...

    Pet Semi-Auto, Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles

    ...you may want to read and examine the pictures a little closer (those aren't full size silhouette targets, but rather miniatures on 9X11 sheets of paper...you're a "smart" socialist Swede, so you can probably figure what that paper size is in metric, jerk-off), your shotgun shoots subMOA at...

    Pet Semi-Auto, Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles

    ...thanks for the input MLC, you know I've done a little bit of shooting myself, instead of telling someone how a "smart" person like yourself would've done it, why don't you build your own M1A and post it here for review. I'll be happy to take a look at it and give you my critique. Actually...

    Pet Semi-Auto, Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles

    ...I'll solve the mystery, yes, it's backwards, with the short rail/limited space to position it, if you run it the other way, it folds down towards the scope and interferes with quickly pulling the bikini lens cover off....the flip-ups are pure back-up, sometimes you have to adapt/improvise and...

    Pet Semi-Auto, Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles

    ...damn, are you serious diverdon? I've been there brother, you better lighten up before you have a coronary...it ain't worth it. As for my "acumen" as a builder, anybody using that word is obviously the one looking to impress people. I'm a bolt rifle builder by trade, I'm pure amateur when...

    Pet Semi-Auto, Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles

    ...the threading you can cut/utilize are limited by the diameter of the barrel/bore at that point, it's very slim in front of the gas assembly, and 1/2x28 was the most logical choice because you can use a multitude of brakes with standard AR 1/2-28 threads and then easily ream them out to...

    Pet Semi-Auto, Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles

    ...dang, you're incredibly perceptive LRI, saw right through it didn't you, you got me, guilty as charged...why don't you shoot Lowlight a PM and tattle on me...maybe you'll get some brownie points...

    Pet Semi-Auto, Armageddon M1A, Soltis Rifles

    ...I'm like most bolt rifle guys, I tinker with a semi-auto here and there, thought some of you might be interested in this particular one, shoots sub MOA, but shouldn't... Take a look, it is for sale in that section as well... Soltis Rifles, Customized Springfield Armory M1A Scout Rifle...

    Question about long range bolt gun

    ...all answers technically correct, although I think the real answer to your question is more simple---the .30-06 is the old standby, and that's pretty darn boring in a world that produces a new cell phone or gadget every six months that millions of people flock to purchase regardless of actual...

    Remington 700 tolerances

    ...if you know the raceway is .706 and the bolt is .699, if your goal is to tighten that tolerance for accuracy, all you need is your bolt sleeved to .705 or so, problem solved...

    What rifle fits my needs?

    ...check out the Weatherby Vanguard rifles, the new ones have a very comfortable, classic Weatherby designed stock, three-position safety, internal magazine holds five rounds, excellent factory trigger and the best part is the barrels are heavy (a lot of shank), they can be cut down/threaded to...

    Gunsmithing Removing XL Decelarator from McM A-5

    ...yes, those pads are just glued on, you can cut them off clean and not damage a McMillan at all. I always replace the factory McMillan pads with new ones, I cut the old off with a normal miter box saw with a 12" diameter fine carbide circular blade. It's just like cutting down/shortening LOP...
