    Awesome M14/ M1A armorer tool....

    Not sure how many of you shoot M1As but I found this tool that is bad ass. It does just about everything you could need to work on an M1A. The quality looks amazing, I can't wait to order one... http://battlearmsdevelopment.com

    M1A accuracy tips

    So as a self-consolation present to myself, I bought this rifle last November: It's spent most of it's life sitting in a hard case with an Aimpoint mounted on the forward rail, with maybe 100 rds put through it, but about a month or so ago, I randomly got hooked on it, and I've been...

    Springfield M1A JAE stock

    The wait for my stock was around 4 months, Lisa gave updates and suggested mods for the stock to help its resale as well. They are very good people, highly impressed. The rifle is a great shooter, the biggest fear I had was some advice you all, and I forget the gal here who months ago warned...

    m1a and the 155 Scenar

    Tomorrow my M1a supermatch will be here, it's got a 1 in 10 twist barrel. Most of my shooting with it will be at my 700 yd range here at the farm, and hopefully get in a 600 yd high-power match now and then. The only .308 bullets I keep around are the 155 Lapua Scener, and the other day I...

    M1A OR Bolt Gun?

    Good evening all, thanks for taking the time to read this and give me your thoughts. I have the chance to buy a M1A or to possibly get my hands on a Remington 700 ADL that I wanted to break down to just the receiver blue print it and build from there. i already have a savage 10FP that has work...

    OCW with an M1A?

    Should I run the OCW test at 200 yards instead of 100? Any insights into OCW with this gas gun? Here's why I ask: Got some more bullets to test, trying to tweak things into a reliably sub-MOA load or two. Past OCW tests have been mixed. One was mucked by a loose scope mount. One before that...

    Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4 16X M-1 vs. 16X M-1A Ultra

    What are the differences as they appear to be the same scope? Does the Ultra have the 140MOA elevation range? Does the Ultra have any advantages?

    M1A or HK 91

I am looking for a rugged end of the world, zombie take over gun. I am not looking to shoot past 300m, the gun is more for CQB with some...
