    Scope mount height for modified cz 527

    I used Warne high rings to mount the Weaver Tactical Grand Slam 3-10x40. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/398781/warne-permanent-attachable-ring-mounts-cz-527-16mm-dovetail I considered modifying the bolt in order to go lower, but the current scope height fits my cheek weld just perfect as it is.

    Prvi Partizan .308 in 165 gr PSP, whats the

    I have shot various Prvi loads in both 30.06 and .308. It functioned fine, but POI was always lower than that of other loads I was using. I think the Prvi powder charges are pretty tame.

    Suggestions for new .223 Bolt Gun

    I HIGHLY recommend the CZ 527 which now comes in left hand models. http://www.cz-usa.com/products/by-category/rifles/ I have the Varmint version and I love it. All 527s have a "micro" action that is built around the .223 cartridge for a very short receiver, a fast bolt throw, and overall trim...

    M1A jamming problem

    In these pictures you can view from directly above and directly below to see just how much material I took off. As far as mounting the scope rings, my only choices now are the very front and very rear slots - which is fine since those are the only ones I used previously. The mount has since...

    M1A jamming problem

    follow up Well, I loosened the loctite and took the mount off the gun and put it on the bench grinder. In the attached picture you can see the freshly ground surfaces. Its a bit hard to tell from the angle of the picture, but the cuts are angled at about 45 degrees so that a shell ejecting...

    223 Bullet weights for 1:7 twist

    What uagaarguy said. 55gr will be fine all day long, but 62gr will probably be better.

    M1A jamming problem

    I hate to admit it, but I think I will just use a bench grinder to modify my mount. Good idea regarding the bottom of the scope ring. I could shave some of that, too.

    M1A jamming problem

    M1key, I may do what you did. As you can see in the attached pictures (a view from the side and a view through the magwell), the empty cases are impacting the bottom of the scope mount. I think I can grind the mount to an angle in that area so that it helps to "kick" the cases to the side and...

    M1A jamming problem

    I have an adjustable gas valve that I bought so I can shoot the Hornady 155gr A-Max. Would you recommend increasing the speed of the oprod in order to make the ejections more forceful? This malfunction has happened with a couple of types of ammo.

    M1A jamming problem

    My M1A has a an occasional problem that causes both a FTE and a FTF. As the ejecting case is flying out, it is getting caught by the operating rod and slammed up against the bottom of the front scope ring. This causes the spent case to be jammed in between the operating rod and the scope ring...
