Re: Caution...M1A Porn
i cant tell you how much the stock by itself weighs, you can call wenig and they may be able to answer that question but i will say that the rifle is heavy...its heavier then a super match with a mcmillian stock. not exactly a deer rifle you want to go walking around in the woods with, unless you want a good work out. it does get the ooooo, ahhhhh gawk factor at my gun club and every time its on the firing line....

Re: Caution...M1A Porn
Range Report...this axe is a shooter.
It wasn't the best day for testing today. The range was packed and its difficult to shoot with any consistency when brass is hitting you in the back of the head. However, this baby is a shooter. It took about 50 rnds to figure the best settings and I'm not sure that I'm there yet.
The barrel tensioner is far more sensitive than I had imagined. Un-tensioned (factory setting)was netting 1.25-1.5 inch groups and I couldn't seem to get it right until I figured out that I was going too far with the adjustment. Small turns, maybe 1/32 or less had a big effect.
Once I figured this out I was able to dial her in to sub-moa on 168 Federal Match. All of my groups are 3-shots.
Now something interesting happened when I went to 175 Federal Match, and went one more click on the tensioner...On the groups that were not clearly sub-moa, I had 3 of eight taregets where I couldn't find the 3rd hole. I had a spotter next to me and we both saw the dust cloud leading several that witnessed to believe these were 3-shot holes. I'm reluctant to make any claims on these but we couldn't account for the 3rd shot to save our ass and it happened enough times to make us wonder. On one of these it appears that the 3rd burn mark is visible.
Again, no claims on these as I'm skeptical myself but this stick was shooting too well not to be able to account for so many strays...they would have hit paper somewhere.
As for shooting charactistics, recoil is very linear whereas my SASS has a tendency to "hop" under recoil. It does kick slightly more than the SASS but its a surprisingly soft shooter. I'd love to get out there on a day when its quiet and I can concentrate.
Overall...3 thumbs up
I didn't get to shoot 200...had to beat the incoming storms.

Oh, crap, I'll certify the first and third as 3 shots, and have pretty strong feelings about #2 also.

Hell even if they're not I'm happy. Once dialed in out of the last 12 targets on the board, half were sub-moa.

Re: Caution...M1A Porn
Gentelmen, I give you my little bro's M1A Scout. Done up for him prior to leaving for afghanistan by his unit armor. Lucky bastard got to carry a SR-25 on his tour out there. Sigh...
Can't comment on the grouping, but he loves this rifle. Figured i'd hop in on the M1 porn bandwagon

What are the rules for service rifle as far as modifications are concerned? When I shot in the fleet matches there were some guys using aftermarket stocks but I never knew how different they were allowed to be. I used armory guns until I got this one and shot it the last match I participated in.

Re: Caution...M1A Porn
I love M1A Porn. You guys have some great looking sticks! Here's my Scout/Squad.
I had it accurized by an old team mate of mine in Quantico. He bedded it in his old McMillan "across the course" stock and worked his voodoo on the action and gas system. Group shown is 5 shots at 300 meters using 175gr Federal GMM

Re: Caution...M1A Porn
Battle Axe, she shoots better than i can, last year after finally getting her all together was cloverleafing 3 shots at 125yds, and that was with 147gr surplus, next time out gonna be putting 168gr's thru her and see if I can't tighten the group up.

When I was in, the Garand was the official service rifle of the US Navy. I guess that dates me.
My best high power score was shot with my M1A NM standard weight barrel. My match ar is easier to shoot accurately when I have been away from it for a year or two. But I enjoy using my M1 Garand with the 308 barrel and the M1A. Unfortunately, I am having issues with my eyes and the front sight I haven't resolved yet.
Shooting is fun.

From the January, 2010 High Power Rules on the NRA website,
http://www.nrahq.org/compete/nra-rule-books.asp
<span style="font-style: italic">
3.1 Service Rifle - As issued by the U.S. Armed Forces, or the same type and caliber of commercially
manufactured rifle, having not less than 4 1/2 pound trigger pull, with standard type stock and standard type
leather or web sling. External alterations to the assembled arm will not be allowed. The application of synthetic
coatings, which includes those containing powdered metal, to the interior of the stock to improve bedding is
authorized provided the coating does not interfere with the function or operation of safety features. The front and
rear sights must be the standard or National Match design, but may vary in dimensions of rear sight aperture and
front sight blade. The rear sight aperture may be hooded. The internal parts of the rifle may be specially fitted and
include alterations that will improve the functioning and accuracy of the arm, provided such alterations in no way
interfere with the proper functioning of the safety devices as manufactured. The rifle must be so modified as to be
incapable of automatic fire without removing, replacing, or altering parts. The gas system must be fully operational
(a) U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30 M-1. Or caliber 7.62mm M-1...
(b) U.S. Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm M-14 - Must be no more than 2 inches wide at a point immediately to the rear
of the front band, no more than 2.5 inches wide at the front and rear of the receiver, and have a
continuous taper from receiver to front band. Width at receiver may be carried through to the butt plate,
which may be the flat M-1 or hinged M-14 plate, which will be used only in the folded position. In all
courses and in all positions the standard 10 or 20-round box magazine or a reduced capacity magazine of
the same external dimensions will be allowed. For stock dimension see diagram in illustrations.
(c) U.S. Rifle, Caliber 5.56mm M-16 series...
(d) U.S. Rifle, Caliber 7.62 mm M-110 series...
(e) Any rifle or modified rifle not covered by NRA Rule 3.1, but permitted by CMP Rules is considered a
service rifle in NRA sanctioned competition.</span>
If the stock can be 2.5 inches wide at the receiver, and the width at the receiver can be carried through to the buttplate, I don't know how you attach an M1 or M14 buttplate to a 2.5 inch wide butt.
Hope this helps.

Re: Caution...M1A Porn
Some true porn in here! The M1A series of rifles seems to cost a small fortune to upgrade but they sure look awesome when done. I have a SOCOM 16 that will get an VLTOR Modstock and quad rail but that's about it. I intend for my SOCOM to me more of my "iron sight fun gun" but I'll slap a red dot on a QD mount for some fun and probably a VFG. You guys have some sweet sticks in this thread.
