I don't believe that's what I said. The minimum is 1300 grams. Some will be high enough to hold the 3-1/2 lb weights. See above. I said:

You "read" the gauge at the rear end of the receiver ring. The receiver ring on a M1903 is much longer than the receiver ring of the M1 or M14.

The intent of the Foreign Military Bolt Match (as it was called then) was that rifles would conform to their original specifications. (What part of "as-issued" isn't clear?) CMP has since decided...
The minimum pull for a K31 (and the Gew1911 series) in the Swiss rulebook is 1300 grams. That works out to 2.86 lbs. You frequently have to tinker with a Swiss trigger to get it to hold the 3-1/2...
There is a special M1A Match at the Nationals. It's not a Board match, it's sponsored by Springfield Armory (Surprise, Surprise!) during the NRA portion of the Nationals.

The TRW NM M14's (1:12 twist) did very well with 190 grain Match Kings and 39grs of 3031 at 600 and out.

It is TENNESSEE. The upper superstructure just forward of the director in CALIFORNIA is just slightly different.

We used to shoot 22RF at 200 yards routinely. The target is the A-21 and it is still available from National Target. It's a challenge.

The gas system of the M14 is not adjustable. It does have a somewhat self-limiting "relief" function, but you can still overstress it.

It's SOP on a match build with GI parts, as is peening the middle band itself. The diameter of the barrel at that point was not well-controlled. A new middle band is just as likely to be loose as...
Not USN. My guess would be Pakistani, but it's only a guess.

The 10" bull Able target dates from WW II. None that I ever saw had a V ring. I have no doubt that these were still in use on military ranges through the 1960's.
After WW II, the bull was...

Yes, that's the picture that I refer to.

Definitely not a British sight. It's made on a standard US sight leaf.

Yes, the National Matches were fired in 1918. However, the prescribed Service Rifle was the M1917, NOT the M1903. It was also also the year of the first Small Arms Firing School. The purpose was...
