Have recently acquired a USGI M1911A1 National Match .45. It has a 1943 Colt mfd frame, and was assembled as a NM gun by Rock Island Arsenal in 1968. All specs on the gun match (barrel part no./slide part no./barrel bushing part no., etc., and the barrel and bushing have the frame serial on...

Don't have pics yet, but just recently picked up an AR-30 in .338 Lapua Mag, an unissued Walther P1, a Colt Argentine Navy M1911, a Norinco 13-shot version of the Tokarev, and a second variation of the Argentine Systems 1927 Colt conversion to .22lr.

Just picked up an AR-30 in .338 Lapua w/one box Black Hills ammo, about 200 rds of brass, case and bipod for $1475. Good or bad deal? Also, any reccomendations on a load using 300gr Sierra HPBTs? ..For shorter ranges, also have Remington 40Xs in .308 and .300 WinMag

New odds and ends Just picked up a Norinco 213A (15 shot), in the Norinco box, 2 mags, test fired, for $275. Deal or no? Also, recently acquired an M1911 Argentine Colt, SN C6236, Argentine Navy, with arsenal 1911A1 mod (arched mainspring housing) in VG+ cond. No import marks, but has the...

PTK, Sorry for the delay in answering. That's a Remington 40XHB .22lr (ex US-Govt via CMP). Also two 40X's on either side - 300 Win Mag (thumbhole stock) and a .308 Win tack-driver (methinks a 24mm 5-shot group at 300 meters qualifies it for that!)

This do?? :)

Quick update on the RE-15 load. We tested a new Remington Police 700 with the load I listed. Only mods to the rifle were bedding the factory stock and a trigger job. (Oh, and shooting the parkerizing out of the barrel with about 50 rds of other ammo.) Results with the RE-15 at 300 meters were...

DW, According to the Sierra book, it's running out at 2600fps. As for pressures, there's no abnormal signs of high pressure from either primers or brass. Don't have a chrono to check exact velocity, tho. As for the range, it's a privately-owned public range, about 5 miles north of Robert...
