    Sidearms & Scatterguns what is your other concealed carry?

    This is one of mine, a police trade in and I got it real cheap $250 out the door, a G22. I swapped the barrel with 357 SIG, and for better concealment IWB I had the grip cut down to the size of the G19. G19 on top

    Pre-ban M1a NM value?

    Ronnie Morris will do you good. He is one of the most respected 14 guys around. In fact for the most part Champion's Choice uses him to install barrels if you were to order a barrel from them. When you talk to Ronnie tell him I said Hi. He built one of my non lugged match conditioned M1A. If...

    Pre-ban M1a NM value?

    Here is a good read for you. If you are a DIY kind of person you may try some of the tricks, otherwise find a 14 smith who can accurize your rifle. If you need referrals send me an email [email protected]. There are other written stuff about the 14s out there that you can Google. After all...

    SOG Trident with slacks, Benchmade 275 Adamas with blue jeans. Starting in September, my EDC in TX will be the Benchmade 42 Balisong. Had this knife for awhile, but can't carry it until now. This Balisong served me well in my overseas travels, carried it everywhere. Growing up in my native...

    Pre-ban M1a NM value?

    Assuming that the rifle has all USGI parts (except of course the receiver) under the current parts availability and pricing, the asking price is about average. It is not a smoking deal. The question is, in your own words, what makes it a National Match? I shoot a lot of competitions with my...

    Who DOES NOT clean the copper out of the bore?

    On a different application, high power competition. One of our High Master shooters who shot for the AMU when he was younger, installed a new Krieger barrel in his AR service rifle. He wanted to see at what point would the rifle quit shooting, he shot the rifle in competition and in practice...

    308 barrel

    I shoot a M1A at 1000 yard matches, with its 11 twist 22 inch barrel I do not have any problems shooting even longer bullets than the 175 SMKs. This is at elevation barely above sea level, about 50 feet.

    Question - RVN era scopes

    Did the Marines use the Redfield 3-9 on their M14 sniper rifles, like they did on their M40s? Or maybe another question, Did the Marines field any M14 sniper rifles in RVN? If so, what scopes did they use? TIA

    m1a build recommendations

    Thank you. 10 shot group is the way to go. Excellent indeed for a battle rifle and plus you still have to drive the stick. You did well, good shooting.

    Lots of people keep on trying to make these battle rifles something they are not and that is sub minute guns. Just because it happened once or twice it does not justify to be called as such. Are you suggesting that you can make a standard rifle a sub minute gun unmodified? There are some loyal...

    m1a build recommendations

    ALL DAY, the ubiquitous internet language. I would love to see a standard rifle, unbedded, with TG worked over, and unitized GC shoot a 2 inch 20 shot group at 200 yards, never see it happen, not buying it. Record a video and prove it.

    m1a build recommendations

    Some words of wisdom here. Yes, you can make the 14 shoot right along with the black guns, but at a price - having it built by competent smiths who were mostly former or current military ones who supported the big teams, AND the trigger time to master the big stick. Last year I campaigned 2...
