So far im leaning into LRB building one for me on their action since it has the integrated optic rail. This will be a forever gun so im ok spending a little more on it than a off the shelf Springfield Armory M1A.

Good luck with whatever route you go, just remember the M14 is a gas port actuated rifle and thus it is not easy to suppress. I think your suppressor vents gas out the front, which is really needed for the M14 (otherwise you get a bit of gas blowback in your face). The M14 barrel will also require a thread adapter of some sort for your suppressor, so keep in mind as well.

I think you need to decide what characteristics are important, such as stock and barrel choices. I recommend a stock with an adjustable cheek rest since you are going with optics, as the original profile stock was only set-up for iron sights. These builds can get expensive if custom made, but LRB makes a very nice product if you go that route - but it will not be cheap. Let us know what you decide.

The pope being on death's door is the will of God, is it not? So what's the vatican doing putting forth all this effort to prolong the mortal existence of one man (who was lobbied for and elected by other men, by the way)? Isn't that a direct challenge to the infallibilty of God?
Pull the plug.

75 ELD’s at 3400 sounds great. With an 18” barrel idk if I’ll get there but something similar to your experiences are what I’m after. I don’t envision ever going 88-90gr bullets with this gun so I was ruling out 1:7 twist for that. Then 1:7.5 vs 1:8 might be splitting hairs for my bullet choices.

If some options are .218 bore vs others .219 bore is it worth avoiding one vs the other?

All I'm doing is yote hunting with this Gun and IDK why I wanted to try 90s, But I did and wish id just went back to an 8twist.

I wouldn't say avoiding either one is an issue between .218 vs .219. I seemed to have better speeds with the .218. As far as the twist goes id look at the 8 twist as you could shoot lighter bullets if wanted without overspinning them too much and causing them to blow up. I didn't have issues with the 7.5 twist. When I done a ladder, I was able to push them to 3770 but started having heavy bolt lift and decided to back it down, I was using H4350. I pulled that barrel at 1400 rounds, It opened up to about 3/4 moa with an occasional flyer.

IF I wasn't so heavily invested Id go with a 22gt. Less powder and you aren't giving up much speed.

Agreed, but long stiff prison terms would be a more severe punishment...except for Mitch and Nancy, they dont have that long left

So far they have been so close, I seen no issues, they all fire and shoot the same ammo the same. Small batch to say they are the norm as far as measurements but currently I have 7 barrels and 3 actions and they are all interchangeable with the coned breeches and if the barrel was from a 360, then the 360 barrels work fine with the extractor grooves and v22 with v22 take off barrels. Could be all luck that this is working out too..

100 yd 5 shot groups with My 360 Ace barrel take off UNTOUCHED (flier was to test the wind direction over flags)

Yeah I know that, I just wanted you to see what the current 16" and 14.5 heavy Contour barrels are producing pretty hard to beat that accuracy in fact I'm almost kind of skeptive that accuracy game will be marginal.

I took both of my 16" and 14.5" Geissele heavy Contour barrels out yesterday and I will post pictures of the groups here in a second, thay all look to be Sub Half MOA.

It's kind of damn hard to beat that.

Yeah, those are pretty fantastic results that are hard to argue against...

I spent almost $4k on having a M1A type rifle built back in 2013. It was built using USGI parts throughout, except the receiver and the barrel came from Smith Enterprise. It's a great rifle, definitely a keeper for me. Don't think I'd do it again though. If I were to buy one today I'd probably buy a used Springfield Inc M1A Loaded instead.

I'm very happy that you are sharing this info. I had been considering giving one of these a try.
