    Sir:
    Milled parts mean nothing. Stamped parts mean nothing. It is a commercially made, cast receiver of questionable quality assembled with whatever random collection of GI parts they had on hand,...

    I have shot M-1s in NM shoots to 600 yards and occasionally a few times at 1,000. With the same 173 gr. bullet the elevation adjustments for the .30'06 M-1 and the 7.62mm M-1 firing match ammo will...

    Yeah but if it is a sporter it may have a receiver sight or scope already... he may not care if it has a rear sight base... in fact, he may not want one.

    I thought we used Match ammo for snipers. Is a HPBT Geneva Convention legal (ne'er mind the Russian 7Ni bullets...)? Or are they using these HPBTs in theatre?

    I watched a guy shoot the 2008 Texas State Garand match with a rifle that had a hooded rear sight aperture. Nothing was said. Basically, it hinges on who looks at your rifle, if at all. If you win,...

    Your stock - in fact the entire rifle - looks just like my "sewerpipe" 98. My rifle was purchased at Deep River Armory in Houston in about 1967.
