Glock4ever:

Glad that the stock and handguard are working for you. Now get out and shoot it! Shoot it lots and share how well it shoots! It's a thing of beauty. Better yet, keep the recording option started/on while shooting the rifle. We need to hear the PING! :)

And yes, that bayonet lug looks so appropriate! :ar15:

Cheers and keep on sharing with the noobs out there! :wave:

It's tough to reconcile a bayonet lug on a piece that some portray as a MOA shooter, but it does complete the picture. And you never know if you'll have a stoppage when confronted by an angry deer. :p
 
So I decided to scope this rifle and move the irons to the Norinco. Put a Leupy Mk4 3.5-10x40mm M2 on her in TPS rings with a CASM Alum Mount (M14.ca is pretty amazing - ordered this on Monday and got it today) Here is how she looks so far:









I followed the instructions on the CASM but boresighting found it sighted high and left. I adjusted the elevation down with the mount but I am unsure how to get more windage as I only have 8.5 mins left to go right. I will try shooting it but have any of you guys with the CASM had windage issues?

Here is a close up on the new Flash hider:

 
Nice! I got myself one not too long ago. M1A with Walnut. I love it. I also picked up one of those 10 round "Enfield" A1A mags. I must say, it works quite well.
For those who don't know, its a mag designed for the A1A "Enfield" bolt action rifle. It holds 10 rounds, but fits in the M1A/M14 style guns. So its perfectly legal and can hold 10 round.

I love you guyz, but in a fraternal way of course... I dunno about you guys and the AIA mags but I cannot afford to shoot that many rounds! :eek:

That's getting expensive! ha ha ha ha ha

I know, I know, because we can. So get out there and shoot that SAI M1A or any of your Norcs and shoot it lots because we CAN! :evil:

Cheers,
Barney

PS: Hey glock4ever, we need some crayoned/Whiteout/painted receiver markings on your M1A just like that beauty CASM mount by M14.ca.... it's gorgeous!
 
I dunno about all these "beautiful" rifles..... Beauty is for pageants...
Rifles are for shooting holes in things. Let's see some range reports already ;)
 
Agreed on the less show more go attitude. I just playing around with the config before I pop off some rounds. I tend to average about 5k rds/year so have no fear most of my range reports are in the hunting rifle/precision rifle forums. at least they were until I had kids. :)

Okay your M14 or M1A lovers! You are all missing one thing.... Ammo, Match Ammo; LOTS of it! :evil:

Now how about some range reports ???

Cheers and keep on helping out the noobies! :wave:

I went shooting today, my hands smell like Gunsmoke and I put about 60 rounds down range before it started getting dark, wasn't shooting my m14 though was shooting my svt40 and sks.

Does that still count? ��

Gonna shim my m14 before I start wasting handloads on it.
