I have found 4350 to be the cat's meow. SDs under 15 and ES under 30. I have a load that pushes the lapua 155 scenar at a little over 3000fps. It shoots very very well and will clean the 600 target...

After reading this thread at least 10 times and taking apart my A3 trigger at least 15 times and spending 3 hours with oil soaked grits of paper from 400-2000 backed by a machined piece of steel I...

Heck I won't pick up a rifle unless I ask first.
I'm just trying to get an idea what would be a fair price for the rifle if it is what it appears to be. I'm thinking 12-1500 tops which is over a...

So with a 1921 serial number and barrel the stock is not correct?
I didn't take my gauges with me. Should have but forgot them.

There's one at the gunshow here in Colorado Springs and they want a ridiculous amount of money for it.
S/N 1223xxx
Barrel 2-21
Forgot to look at the bolt.:bash:
No re-arsenal marks of any kind....

And if an A3 has a serialized bolt? It means nothing?

If you paid less than $300 you probably did very well. I know a guy who uses a Unertl with the 90 degree eye piece and he has been offered $1000 for it.
He still has it.

The metal is great but that stock has got to go.
Please someone donate a really beat up, copper wired stock for the cause.

I filled mine with Devcon putty and re-drilled for .032. Worked for me.
Not legal for as issued matches though.
I carry a spare unmodified sight for dark days. .032 can get fuzzy on cloudy days.

Nothing is wrong with the Oly.
K8...

Depends on whether it burned the stock away or just damaged it beyond saving which wouldn't take much. If it burned the park/bluing off and left a pinkish rusty metal behind then it's gone. If not...

It might not me hurt at all. Have someone check the hardness. First find out what the reference hardness should be.

What is the stinking deal with the irrational hatred of former drill receivers?
They are not compromised in any way unless someone has tried to re-heat treat them because of some silly fear of a...

Got the rifle to the range Friday for load develpment. Elevation zero changed from the 300yd mark to the 150yd mark. Interesting.
In the process of working up loads I found a combination with the...

It came with one installed. Recoil bolts were also installed. The only thing different is the lack of handguard clips. Not sure what those were for anyway.

Got the stock today and it did require some work but only on the hand guard.
The steps or shoulders if you will didn't line up with the ones on the stock. Took the bulk off with a dremel and cleaned...

FWIW I just read a thread on the M14 forums by Gus Fisher about repro 1903 stocks. According to the post the Sarco stocks are beyond bad and take many hours of fitting. The CMP stocks while not...

Supposedly CMP had a come to Jesus talk with Boyds about a year ago and the QC has improved tremendously. Everyone who has received one recently claims no fitting required. We'll see.
One thing...

Surely one can do something to improve the pressure on the barrel at the fore end under the "careful assembly" statement in the rules?
I've got a new CMP "C" stock coming tomorrow so I'm really...

Assuming the bushings and the stocks are all exactly the same dimensions?
If I was going to trim the bushing what should I look for in the bedding to indicate enough is enough?

OK for some reason I was thinking they were full auto.

Unbelievable!
What are the legal ramifications to owning such a device?

Be prepared to wait though. His turnaround is six+ months.:yikes:

I would still be concerned that it won't chamber the Greek. It should.

I have seen quite a bit of discussion on whether the cover is for prtection only or whether the rifle was meant to be shot this way.
On my A3 there is no way to shoot with the cover installed. I am...
