LRB is out of standard contour bbls right now so I'm getting a medium for no extra cost. The twist is 1/10 instead of 1/12. It will also be chrome lined but Paul said it will shoot both .308 and NATO fine.
1. Will chrome and 1/10 twist still handle standard NATO ammo fine (When I find some)?
2. Anybody know how much heavier a med. cont. bbl is over a standard?
That's the crappy thing about it but Paul said he has no idea when they're going to get standard bbls in from Criterion (might explain why they called me 6 months before I expected).
My rifle is being built on their new M25 reciever with the dovetails built in for a rail (no side-mounting scopes) so my last question is...
3. Opinions on GOOD scopes and rings for the M14? Would some type of red-dot, etc. be more practical if I'm shooting 500 yards or so (I know the rifle's good that far with no optics and I'm not sure I'll ever put optics on it but just in case).
4. What spare parts should I invest in? (oops, that's 2 questions)
Tnx
