Here is some interesting little known history of the Springfield M1A NM. From 1974 for over 20 years they were made in Columbus, GA by Glenn Nelson’s shop. I'm fortunate to own one of Glenn's personal rifles and met Glenn and Hook several times over the years. Both are true legends. From M14...

I'm picking the pistol back up and trying Bianchi Cup (NRA Action Pistol) after a 16 year layoff. I shot IPSC for 10 years and quit in 1999 to shoot XTC, smallbore & silhouette. Our club has developed an action pistol program and I'm once again hooked on pistol shooting. These days most...

For a few years I've been playing around with taking old worn out AR-15 .223 barrels and making fun guns with them, mid length M4geries. All of the donor barrels have been worn out from use in NRA high power matches. We typically get between a little better than 4K rounds before they're toast...

The journey started about a year or so ago when I replaced the old factory barrel with a new Hart tube for a friend. The owner bedded the action in a ratty old government stock that drips oil to this day. It shoots well and has shot several 1200's in smallbore prone matches. The rough old...

I've had this plan for a rest in my head for a few years and finally got around to making some chips. Body is stainless steel, legs are 1" cold rolled, the top is aluminum and rides on a 1"x16tpi stainless screw that started life as a .223 Hart rifle barrel.

Greetings, The USAMU and the CRC are in the planning stages of hosting a monster weekend long match on the 3rd weekend of June. We are looking to have a Mentor Match on Friday where newer shooters will be squadded with AMU shooters for a 500 agg. match with one on one instruction...

I rebarreled a Win 52 this weekend with a new SS Hart. So far it was only test fired and function tested. We'll have a match next month and see how it shoots. Precision 22 LR rifle work is more alchemy than the machine work for centerfire rifles. It takes a lot of trial and error to get the...

My dad asked me to bed the action of this old Rem 700 .308. After a few hours of work with an overnight setting up time, I think it turned out OK. It probably won't last. The Devcon is much stiffer than the plastic stock that flexes easily. The most important thing is that he is happy and we...

Disclaimer: This may be seen as an advertisement which essentially it is. I know the Microsight guy and worked in a small part in the development of that sight. I will receive nothing from the sale of these sights. There is a new sight being introduced in January that some service rifle...

"Record-Setting Chambering, Load, and Hardware Sam was shooting a 6mm Dasher with 32.0 grains of Norma 203B powder, Berger 105gr VLD bullets (unpointed), CCI 450 primers and Lapua brass, neck turned to 0.266″ for a 0.268″-necked chamber. Regarding the choice of powder, Sam says Reloder 15 gives...

There seems to be a lot of interest in 22LR of late. Here is my 41 year old 1413 Model 54. The targets were shot a few weeks ago in a smallbore prone match. No scope and no rest. You don't need a $3000 rifle to be competitive. 50 Yards 100 Yards

I built a couple of M4geries today. They are Douglas CM service rifle barrels that I cut 4" off the back of the barrel and rechambered. The hardware is Rock River. I fire functioned the one with the lower attached and it ran flawlesly. I've made this rifle before and they shot 1/2 min at 100...

PFC Sherri Gallagher broke the oldest record in High Power shooting: the 1000 point aggregate. Gallagher shot a 999-66x to win the Remington-Bushmaster Open, breaking Eric England's 41-year-old record of a 998-45x.(I cut and pasted this.) She has set 5 national records this year...

With the topic of how long will XYZ caliber barrels last I recently checked a couple of barrels for throat erosion. First, my .223 AR match rifle started loosing accuracy at the 300 and 600 yard lines. After shooting an 8 on the 600 yard NRA MR target I decided to check things out. The barrel...

I built an M4 to play with. The barrel was a Douglas 20" service rifle barrel with about 4000 rounds on it. I cut about 3.5" off the back, threaded and chambered it. The origional gas port was tapped and plugged and a new one drilled. The comp is a knockoff of one I saw in Brownells. I machined...

I am on my first Rem 788 rebarrel. I see that there is a relief of the threads under the gas port on the action. I also see that there is a about .250 of threads before this relief. The question is, Does the relief actually serve a purpose or is it usually ignored and thread the whole shank...

I thought the National Championships deserved a thread. The CMP matches are half over and are posted here. The National Trophy Individual match was won by a civilian (Shawn McKenna) this year. Quite a coup. The NRA matches including Long Range will be posted here as they are shot next week.

There has been a new heavy gun record 5 shot group shot at 600 yards. The .386 group is pending but will approved. The rifle is a Rem 700 with a Hart 1:14 .30 cal chambered for .308 Win with a .335 neck. All stock work and smithing was done by the shooter. The bullet is Lapua 155 Scenar...
