    M1a Standard range/accuracy report

    Picked up this M1a here from a forum member. I finally tested enough reloads and determined which it likes best. Light loads
    this is a 1.75" group at 100 yards Standing. I dont care how Super Uber Accurate you try and make your M1a, It is and Always Will Be a Battle Rifle and even a Standard will out shoot most Shooters, Yet I will Strive for Better Skills
    I am as you can see by the home made targets a Cheap Ole ( you Know)

    Oh and Charlie I am not trying to Rub it in too bad

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction).

    Don't think I'd want to be on the wrong end of your rifle.
