Any body have one
if so could you post some pictures
I've got a R.I.A. 7.62 NATO M1 barrel stamped "AFPG". It was pictured in the GCA Journal, Volume 24, issue 3, Summer 2010.
Tom in NJ, Thanks for the pic I can see the 7.62 very clearly but I would like too see the rest of the numbers as there very fuzzy can you repost it or repost a better picture? I don't subscribe too the GCA Journal, what the twist rate 1/12 or ?
The R.I.A. barrel that I have is marked on the right side " 7.62MM R.I.A. 11686320. SPL. 6.69 . M118 P M DOD". The twist rate is not noted. Bill Ricca in his Summer 2010 GCA article on 7.62mm barrels states they are 1 in 12 , but that he can not confirm that.
Tsk, tsk, tsk... it would be the best $25 you ever spent. We are about to travel to CMP to research the 200 or so AFPG guns they have, and the results will be written up for a Journal article in the spring.Quote:

Phil is correct, it's Air Force Premium Grade and that was their term for "National Match."
So Bob when will the CMP AFPG's be auctioned off??
They sold some at the GCA convention last month, so I think they will be offered regular way pretty soon.
