Awesome! I'm jealous. I do not get out enough to shoot my M1A's and Garands!

Good to hear about your purchase. I trained in BCT on the M-14, to me THAT is a rifle, I will get my own "someday".

Sir, if by "Hook" you mean Hook Boutin, your rifle should be very fine. Mr. Boutin has a reputation for building accurate M14 types. Regarding handloads, 41.5 grains of IMR 4895 with a Sierra 168-grain Match King was the old cross-course match load back when the M14 ruled the firing line, and it still performs very well. Hope this helps, and Semper Fi. Ron H.

DINO212, I see you've added what appears to be a Sparrowhawk dummy selector switch? Did you shoot this rifle before you added this and how does it shoot now that it's added? Any difference in accuracy? Steve

I've got a big can of 173's and never got them to shoot anywhere's near what a Sierra can do in my Supermatch. I've got a 1:12" and shoot mostly 125grTNTs and 155's/168s. They'll all fly well without much fuss. |

Oh, yes. I lusted after one of these for years, finally got one issued to me as an LEO. When I retired it was one of the two things I hated to turn in. Bought an M1A in '98 with what was left over from kids' college tuition. Love that rifle.
Just got done putting on a TA33 3 X 30 compact ACOG with a low, low Smith mount. (Picture on the SEI website.) Put a final zero on it last week and I can now SEE almost as well as the rifle will shoot. How sweet it is.
41.0 Gr 4895, 168 gr Sierra match bullet...
Congratulations on a good move.
