m1a

I went to the local gun show and picked up a Federal Ordinance M1A. I love it, hits what I point at around 110 yards (that’s about it for range, unless I drive about 250-300 miles). You should know it was a used one but I have always wanted one. Got any ideas on how to get it better for a...

USO sn-12r or sn-4s on m1a? Anybody have any experience with either of these scopes on a m1a with a smith mount and smith low rings? specifically: 1. Eye relief- Normal or Extended? 2. Eye piece, in a low smith ring, will it clear the rear sight? 3 Can't tell from website, does the sn-12...

I would like some help please. My next project is a M1A loaded rifle, I was wanting to keep it a battle rifle but also use for hunting deer, bear, and pig. Also I would put a scope on it and shoot it off hand if needed. I just looked at some stocks and saw the JAE stock. Would I be able to do...

HERE IS MY M1A WITH LEUPOLD 6 X 18 X 44, TARGET DOT RETICLE [/img]

.308 62 deg - elevation 1220' - no crono. distance 109 paces, damn close to 109 yds. peep sights, front sand bag rest, rear bag with cross arm adjustment. Brass, LC Match, fl sized w/ sb dies, CCI 34 primers, OAL 2.8" 47.5 gr shot the best with a vertical spread on about 2.5" and a 1.5" width...

I would like some input on this set up please. M1A standered with a Leupold mk4 1.5-5x20mm with M2 turrets. It would be used for hunting and paper puncher. I live in Ca so an ar type 308 is not an option. Thanks again.

Hello. The reason for this topic is that I was recently in a shop that had both the National Match M1A and the Supermatch M1A. First, I picked up the NM(9.8 pounds), and loved the feel. Since I was in the shop, I was in a standing position. Then, I picked up the Supermatch(11.2 pounds). The...

Been studying the posts here for a few weeks and have found an underlying opinion that .308 bolt guns can run loads at higher pressures than semi-autos. I know that the 22-inch barrel won't give speeds like the 24, 26, and even 30-inch barrels do...but what speeds should be attainable with an...

Guys, I may have an opportunity to buy a JAE-100 Gen I rifle stock at a fairly decent price, can someone please detail the differences between the Gen I and Gen II JAE-100 stocks ?

I'm not into suppressors, but I wonder if there would be a market for a slplined suppressor attachment, milled like the flash suppressor splines on a M1A, where as, intead of threading the barrel, you could use splines and a lock nut like the existing flash suppressor. OR, would it work...

heya guys i got a nice deal on a m1a rifle. What kind of range is this rifle capable of thats still reliable? Im sure 1000 yards might be a stretch for this but is 800 an attainable goal for it? oh before i forget heres the info on it. Thanks for your input. m1a loaded

Hello While my bolt gun is being build I acquired MA1 scout rifle build on Norinco receiver 2007 production (I'm in frosty Canada ) Here are the details of the rifle. <ul style="list-style-type: disc"> Norinco Receiver TRW Bolt, headspace on chamber cut to 1.631 H&R Trigger Group Unitized...

Ok boys and girls I finaly got my my first M1A and it hasn't been shot yet. Matter of factly I just got it yesterday. Now I have a question about the ammunition that I am going to use. It is surplus ammo. Yes its pretty old but I got it for free so I'm not going to complain. I was wondering if...

How do you guys load for your m1a's??? Mine will be done in 2 weeks and just doing a little more homework. 22 inch ss Krieger with a 1 in 10. Looking for something that can take me out to 1000 but 90% of shots will be 300 yards or less. I wont limit anyone with bullet weights or powders but...

Im starting to get the feeling a ban is on its way, and would like to get an M1A but the cheapest I can find one is a loaded model for almost 1600. Seems really high, any input ?

Gentlemen, I saw a guy at the range today shooting a synthetic stocked standard M1A with a Harris Bipod mounted ahead of the sling plate[ making use of the 'drainage' hole in the bottom of the stock]. I asked him who made it, he replied Harris and I subsequently found two Harris bipod adapters...

I'm trying the Optimum Charge Weight thing in the M1A now that I have a new barrel (tight! chamber...). Nosler 155 FMJs, A-Maxes, and Nosler 168s touch the throat at 2.87, 2.88 and 2.89 OAL (forgot which was which), all too long for the mag, so we're jumping at least .07 if loaded to 2.80...

So, I like the Sadlak airborne version, looks prettier to me... I grab my M1A start looking at it, and go "wtf is this metal thing that is towards the back of the receiver with this thing in it". It doesn't look like an allen but sort of like a pin, is this a gunsmith type of thing or am I...
