Re: crazy idea with your LMT iron sights!!!! RFLMAO

Re: Homemade Fiberglass Stocks?

Re: custom mauser builds
Here is my 24/47 yugo in .308win. It has an A&B barrel, Timney trigger, Boyds stock, Millet scope, and M-14 mag conversion. My best group with it was 1.1in at 300yrds but most of the time it shoots .7 MOA.
