    A friendly accuracy challenge. Beat the match conditioned M14's/M1A's! (Piston-driven rifles)

    I shot a vintage sniper match this weekend at Port Malabar. Here are the results. Distances were 300 and 600 yards. The LRB M14 with the Lothar Walther ICR barrel performed superbly! This is a no-lug rifle bedded into a composite stock with a heavy Lothar Walther ICR barrel. We shot prone...

    Nice shooting! Are these piston-driven AR's? (M110's come in DI and Piston, don't they?)

    A friendly accuracy challenge. Beat the match conditioned M14's/M1A's! (Piston-driven rifles)

    Although not necessarily within the challenge of shooting 25 rounds, here are 20 rounds at 600 yards I shot yesterday at a vintage sniper match with my M14 using a Lothar Walther ICR barrel. The receiver is a LRB and the scope is a 3-9x40 Trijicon Huron scope. The rifle... The cheek riser was...

    A day out with the Kreiger barrelled M14's!

    Took the rifles out to the 200 and 600 yard lines today and the EBR killed it! 100-9X on a SR target. Dialed in my scout as well at 200 and it shot very well too! Here's the 200 yard target with all the sighters and scores for both rifles... Also took the scout out to 600 and got some...

    A day out with the Kreiger barrelled M14's!

    I'm still working on finishing my LRB M25 scout rifle with a 18.5" medium weight Kreiger SS barrel, but I wanted to test the action and get a baseline for this rifle. I threw it in a GI wood stock and took it out to the range. It gave a fantastic initial performance! I only shot 10 rounds to...

    SCAR 20S Suppressed

    What kind of accuracy are you seeing out of the SCAR 20s? I'm doing an accuracy comparison between piston-driven 308's and would like some data from other users. I posted a thread late last month but no takers. Would you be willing to participate...

    What is your favorite stripped lower to use?

    Aero and Spike's. Fantastic quality from both, but I give the upper hand to Aero as they have the rear tension screw to take up slop between the upper/lower for a nice tight fit. I'll probably only build off Aero from now on. Wouldn't hesitate with BCM if they ever sold stripped lowers, but I...

    Satern/Liberty 6ARC barrel

    I've tried liberty barrels (button rifled) and have never got the accuracy I expected from a heavy match barrel. This is for a M14 barrel in 308 though. I have had good luck with Criterion, Kreiger, Bartlein, Lothar Walther and Benchmark. Criterion will be the budget option, the other options...

    Is it a waste of time to anneal

    I anneal for accuracy, neck tension consistency and to prevent neck splits. I reload for M14's though and they are harder on brass than the AR-10. I also wet tumble my brass and spray my bullets with a dry lube when seating bullets. Between annealing and the dry lube on the bullets, I get pretty...

    A friendly accuracy challenge. Beat the match conditioned M14's/M1A's! (Piston-driven rifles)

    The M14 is an old dog but it has the benefit of having decades of accuracy enhancements implemented by military match armorers and sniper/DMR programs that were dedicated to turning a 5 MOA battle rifle into a sniper, DMR and competition rifle. The average match M14 built with premium components...

    M14 with Lothar-Walther heavy profile 6.5 Creedmoor barrel testing (ongoing)

    Can't wait to build your 6.5 M14 with the ICR rifling! This one is their standard 6-groove rifling.

    M14 with Lothar-Walther heavy profile 6.5 Creedmoor barrel testing (ongoing)

    This is the first heavy M14 barrel in 6.5 that Lothar Walther has made. They sent it to me for testing with a reduced size gas port instead of the standard gas port in 308. It's performed flawlessly with bullet weights from 120 grain to 156 grain ammo. This thread will document the accuracy and...

    Recommendations for someone to do DLC

    Thanks. I'll give them a shot. I may do batches every few months to perhaps keep the pricing down. Tony.

    Recommendations for someone to do DLC

    Hello. Customers frequently ask me to do nitriding, but I have industry professionals cautioning me against it. I am trying to offer my customers DLC for their stainless barrels. Can any of you recommend a good source for DLC services? Thanks, Tony.

    Because it has a soul, and it screams 'MERICA!

    Got a nice package from Bartlein Barrels today...

    22" heavy M14 barrel, 5R 1:11" twist. Frank did a limited run and I picked one up. It's unclear if they will ever do another run. They only made some because the guys that work there needed barrels for their M1A's. Hand times around 35˚ on a new LRB receiver. Unfortunately, this will...

    bullet weight for 1/10 twist 308 in 16in barrel?

    Try 130 grain hollow points. 1:10" twist is necessary for shorter barrels. I would also try a faster burning powder like IMR-3031. Tony.
