    L.C. M118LR, 175 match

    Hmmm, that's slow at the muzzle... Try 2550fps at 78ft same as the old school M118NM loading.

    Gunsmithing The subject of headspace?

    I guess I'm not being very clear...... Gauges, reamers, tools, finding out the chambers H/S is not the issue. Generally speaking, does Remington on avg. chamber there rifles using minimum spec H/S or do they strive for somewhere in the middle of the H/S range? IF Remington uses a min spec...

    Gunsmithing The subject of headspace?

    Yes, checking that goes without question I have access too reamers and gauges. More too the point, does Remington strive for the tight end of H/S on there target type rifles? I can work with the H/S being on the tight end but being too long is a waist of my time..... It would be a shame too give...

    Damn! Bought an M1A.....

    Good looking M1A however your op-rod and trigger group are SA Inc and are not from the Springfield Armory. Good shooting but sling in and go prone and you will find that the groups close in much more.

    Gunsmithing The subject of headspace?

    I've made the decision too get into more of the precision game, and being a service rifle guy (M1/M14/M1a guy) that runs irons, this is a big leap into bolt gun territory for me. Like everyone I have a budget and with that said this project wouldn't be possible without some wheeling and dealing...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Your on crack but I will play your silly game?...... the 125 Speer TnT has a BC of .341, 125SMK 0.349 and the 135 SMK BC .370 compared too the 77SMK BC of .362 so how good of a bullet do I need too shoot at 200yds in my M1A at 2800fps, 200yds is still pretty close? At 300yds both the 77SMK and...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    No, its open for any US Service Rifle, including the M16. However the M1, the Navy's MKII ModI and the M14 are all blessed with .30cal bullets, good sights with a decent sight radius. The M110/Ar10 has a good rear sight but a poor sight radius and its barrel length is the shortest of the .30's...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Reread my post its on top, I said that NTT is/has been a Army show. Precision Shooting vol.47 No.9 January 2000, pg 12. clearly has a picture of S/Sgt. Watson with her M14 as the Service Rifle Champ for the 1999 National Matches... If need be I can post the picture? I never mentioned that the...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    A win is a win no matter what the score is, however you missed the bigger picture The Service Rifle Championship was won by a women driving a M14, against top off the line at that time, rat guns. How many times I don't know but when the Marines drug out the M14 for the Nationals in 1999 they...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Correction the M14 went away because it wasn't the then current Service Rifle currently serving. Nothing more.........With said the subject of recoil was mentioned, 1999 then S/Sgt. Julia Watson beat all Service Rifle Shooters for the Service Rifle Championship and she did it with the M14. Her...

    Is there a "best bullet" for AR10/308?

    The 168SMK is tuff too beat for a do all or most bullet, many have said the 168 A-Max is a good bullet I've used them in M1/m1a with good results. Don't overlook the Nosler CC in 168 there every bit as good as the SMK at a lower price. For a even lower price on the Nosler CC is there factory...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Well I had thought at first you had more on the ball than Mr.CC did? I gave you a possible out with the Any Rifle Any Sight class where as long as the rifle has a working safety and a bore of less than 8mm pretty much anything under the sun is legal. You may know a lot about guns and even own...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    EC, before you just throw out the AR10 can use a 26 barrel what class of shooting are you going too fit this rifle in? Match or Service Rifle you have too keep it apples too apples. You could put a 26in tube on a M14/M1a just the same. On to Optics, so no its not a moot point? what are we...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Like I said, not issuing the proper gear is not the weapons fault, The M14 being a liability in combat? seems too have done pretty well everywhere it gone so far, and comparing too the early M16 is FAIR GAME. Making the claim that the M14 is junk because its old it hog wash the M16 when it was...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Well there is Long Range shooting, the AR10 has the shorter sight radius and a shooter barrel these are not good for the LR game. The AR10 maybe able too digest stiffer loads but if they don't have enough barrel length its a moot point don't you think?

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Yes I know Lee, not in person however just from the Forums. I know he lives in Lost Wages, NV. My like/dislike of the M14 and its clones is besides the point, I didn't omit any more facts than Mr. Cobra Cutter did in his prior posts that's why I quoted each I had issue with and then address them...
