    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    The original post is not about AR15 and M1A, but rather about AR10 and M1A. Like I mentioned I have not seen an AR10 used in across the course The AR15 and AR10 though share similar design, the latter just an overgrown one. That is where the similarities end in terms of a service rifle...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    AR10 - legal in NRA, not legal in CMP. I have to admit, out of the box precision, the AR platform gets the edge, but a match prepped 14 can hang with any gas guns in the precision department. I shoot a couple of double lugged M1As with heavy Krieger barrels, and McMillan stocks. Captain...

    Ok I have a poll question M1A or AR10 SASS

    Yes, M14 won the service rifle long range championship at Camp Perry in 2013. The reality there are more M14/M1as on the firing line for across the course than AR10s. I do not recall seeing any AR10s in recent times in across the course matches. Extracted from the NRA website. High Service...

    Drank the Geissle Kool-Aid Finally

    I shoot in high power matches, for the ARs I rotate 3 rifles and all have GA triggers. Love them for competition shooting, but if I were to carry a rifle where I could be in 2 way shooting match it will not have a GA trigger. Last year alone I saw 2 GA triggers died on the firing line with...

    Prone- Slung and Biopod

    Just a side note from the boy scouts brigade - the USAF. Despite the emergence of the black gun in service rifle competition and how records were established by it, there is still one record that has not been broken, the 1000 point Interservice individual. The record - 995-50X, shot by a...

    Catastrophic Failure

    I almost went down the same path of destruction. There is no inference nor speculation here on my part that this is what the situation was with the OP's rifle, but I would most likely have blown the brass like that 260 had I used some multiple fired brass with full power loads. I had a 308 M1...

    Who DOES NOT clean the copper out of the bore?

    The topic is about cleaning the copper out. One crazy guy in our group decided to push the limit of barrel cleaning - in this case not cleaning. Lighten up, junior.

    Rimfire Rifle Photos Thread

    OK, I'll play. My 22LR M40a1 Trainer, 10X scope, USMC return stock, and Remington 40X single shot. It is heavier than my Eddie Ryan M40a1 that came from Quantico. My upper body is built like a Marine upside down, waistline larger than shoulder, therefore I do not walk around in the woods...

    Suppressors FA762SS in a M1a - Blow by

    Used the FA762SS in the LRB M25, 22 inch set a few times, the blow by to the face is very annoying. Getting ready for a hunt down by Laredo I tried different ways to contain the blow by. The shooting towel wrapped around the scope and the receiver works and contains the spent brass inside, that...

    223 limits

    Stick the 90 jumping about 0.030 in a long throated chamber and launch it through 28-30 inch match rifle space gun, then the fun begins.... Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

    M118 Long Range Ammo Components???? Sources anyone??

    There is nothing magical about the M118 LRs. As Greg mentioned, develop a load for you combo, the effort will yield better results.

    223 limits

    With the right combo, punching paper or making noise on metal at 1000 yards, 223 will be just fine. Take a 7 twist and launch the 90 VLD at 2850+, the .551 BC of the 90 VLDs will hang in there. Years ago before the 77s came along, the 69s did quite well at 600 in the rattle battle from service...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Grip Length Reduced Glocks

    Did the same thing. I acquired a G22 police turn in for under 300, I pulled the 40 barrel and replaced with a 357 SIG barrel. CCW the 22 is not an issue with the barrel length, it is the grip length, so I had the grip cut down to G19 size. It works great. Here it is with the G 19 on top for...

    Hunting & Fishing Animal Internals Diagrams

    I lifted it from a page somewhere, could not remember. It must be yours. Thank you. I hunt by the TexMex border since the early 80s. The senderos at my buddy's place are narrow, sometimes only 2 blades wide, if you don't drop the deer right there and they run off in the high brush, you may not...
