Just bought a new springfield armory standard M1A Rifle, The question i have is, Where can i buy nato 7.62x51 ammo in bulk. I don't really want to use commercial ammunition due to many different negative reviews buy those who have tried commercial ammo. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Does anyone know of a mfg'r that makes a quality picatinny rail for a M1A front handguard. I want to put an Aimpoint on one with a 3x magnifier behind it. The mounts that attached to the stripper clip guide and are over the bolt are too small. Thanks!

Good ammo for M1a A friend of mine is planning on picking up a Springfield M1a or a M1a socom 16. I told him that the gas system is made for military 7.62x51. I understand that most commercial ammo can beat up the op rod. What is the good commercial ammo to use in these guns? He doesn't reload so that isn't an ...

Just returned from my first range session w/ a new, unfired m1a. While testing ammo (Hornady TAP 168gr, Hornady Match BTHP 168gr, and Black Hills Match BTHP 175gr), I had two instances where the m1a fired a 3rd burst w/ one trigger pull. Once with the Hornady match and once wht the B.H. Match. Any ideas/suggestions? Any m1a experts in phx area? Thank you, and any help would be ...

I was told that the standard will shoot next ...

> I have five Western Metal 20 round mags that are designed for the M1A M14 rifles...these may need some dremel work to make them function properly, I tried one in my M1A and it worked fine, but was hard inserting and removing the mag from the rifle. If you are handy with a Dremel or grinder and can use these five mags, sign up and if you win, I will ship them out to ...

I am new to this forum and new to reloading. I am trying to put together a good load for my M1A. I am using BLC 2 powder and 145 gr bullets, LC brass, and CCI 34 primers. Any suggestions for the powder charge? I have got some conflicting data and have tried a few different loads and really haven't found "the one". Any help???

JAE has their Christmas special running right now on their stocks. I know especially for a scoped M1A, JAE is a solid choice for cheek weld with added bonus to tightening up groups. Please vote if you own or have owned a JAE stock.

1)the 15rds are for either a Beretta 92 or a Taurus PT 92, the small one looks like a Rem 742 or something similar. The last looks like an M1A mag or Fal... These are all for sale, all for $15.00 a piece, shipped. (There are four, total. Two pistol, two rifle.) Or whatever, make me an offer.

I want a wieldy 308 semi auto rifle but am having trouble choosing which one, I've decided that the m1a suits my needs perfectly but I can't bear to look at the price tag and I need advice which one may also suit the role of a cqb rifle in that caliber. most of the ones I have found just seem to big and bulky or to expensive so I hope there may be something I have overlooked.

I had some time yesterday morning, so I went to the range with my M1A and decided to throw my hat into an AR15 vs Mini14 competition over on THR, despite me not having a rifle that qualifies for the prize. The competition specifies two targets at 100 yards, one five-shot group on each target, fired back to back in under 3 minutes. I took about 30 seconds to shoot both groups....

After getting my custom built Gruning Precision M1A with the rock solid Gruning designed M1A scope mount, I figured what could be better than a set of the new Gruning Scope Rings to top it off. This rifle shoots like a dream, even just running some run of the mill factory ammo through it. Anyone who gets behind this beauty are simply impressed. I can take 1st time shooters out, put clays ...

I think the coyote brown and grit tan are just too light colored, too "desert" for me: . My favorite color is the Dark Earth -- which almost looks OD green -- with BLACK accessories. And I like the OD stock -- and the black plastic cheekpiece does not get hot AT ALL in the worst San Fernando Valley shooting days. I like the TangoDown and GG&G bipods for their ruggedness and...
