I live in Hermitage and work in Donelson I 2nd what dunndw has to say. Nice area and close to where you will be going to school.

I want to head to Oak Ridge when I get a little better with the bolt gun... Froggy is there a guest rate per visit? Or is it members only?

The reciver is the only thing that is not USGI on many M1A's of that vintage. M-14 Firing Line Public Forum

Welcome

The scope is a 1977 16x AO Benchrest scope per the Leupold Tech Line. I still have not found out why the crown looks different than other PSS's that I have seen.... It is/was raining outside so inside pics is all I could grab: Receiver and barrel are parkerized

LOL, I doubt they could put more regulation on Insurance companies without "taking them over". The 20 yr that did not buy health insured is "self insured"... Problem is that he may run up bills that he cannot pay. Why mandate coverage for someone that will not "pay for it"? If my tax dollars are going to cover the uninsured.. I had rather not have my health care coverage dictated to me by the government. Should the government take over auto insurance too? Howabout Life insurance? Some sort of reform will pass… just how much is the question.

I did have some Winchester 147 and they did not "work" as well. I may look into some 175 Match ammo. I am not sure what the twist is on this barrel since most PSS or 700P's have 26 inch barrels. For now I will stick witht eh 168 MatchKing until I can get some handloads.

Not true. SAI used USGI parts until they ran out of stock. Seems like they ran out in the mid 90's. Before they ran out of GI parts even the standards came with GI parts. The SAI receivers are cast and not forged like some other M1A/M14S.

Sounds like a preban to me.. My M1A was built in 1988 and is most all USGI parts if not all GI parts. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/show-tell/22958-gonna-fun-one.html I really like the M1A. I think that you will be happy witht he one that you have on layaway...if not sell t to me cheap M-14 Firing Line Public Forum - Powered by vBulletin Is a great site for the M1A. Post pics when you get it home.

I collect M1 Garand's. if I am looking at one from an private seller I will often ask to take it out of the stock. Not a full field strip but I do need to see the receiver markings and other internal parts markings. Most people do not mind and want to know more about the rifle ...even if I do not buy it. I have yet to have anyone say no... On other firearms ... I give it the best once over that I can and go from there.

Thanks I will get'um up tonight. I had to work yesterday from 5am -6pm

Thanks to Eric (TGO member) for giving me a heads up on a .308 bolt gun that was for sale. I wanted to get something with a heavy barrel to set up for a MOA/Sub-MOA rifle. I dont have pics of the rifle yet. I will post some after work today. Remington 700 PSS (Police Sniper Special) built 8/1989 came from the factory with: Parkerized finish 24-inch Barrel Super nice trigger H.S. Precision kevlar and fiberglass-reinforced synthetic stock with a full-length, aluminum bedding block. It had on it: Leupold 16x scope, Redfield base, Rings ?? I had a harris bipod in the truck for my M1A so I put it on the 700 at the range. I bought this Sat and was able to fire 10 shots with Federal 168 Match ammo. Last 5-shot group @ 100-yards after a few clicks on the scope. .532 group Crappy cell phone pic
