I checked out it isn't the one with all the goodies, the SN isn't right. That is a very good price for this rifle. I want the one with a air gauged barrel.

I loaded 600, what can I say? We have been shooting a lot of LC 30 cal from 1964, never a FTFire and group nicely. They have been stored inside in a climate controlled shop. Wish I had a couple of thousand M80 7.62 NATO L.C. from then. I have 200 rounds of 1962 LC National Match in 20 round boxes, I hate to shoot it up, I want to keep it. That is the last I have.

The 600 rounds of 30-06 I have loaded up is in once fired National Match brass that was a gift from a General in ordnance to my Dad who was supervising Engineer of a weapons project back in the 1960's. They just showed up on our doorstep one day with a return address of Picitiny Arsenal, New Jersey. Great brass. I still save them, but I don't think I will ever need to load more.

I had some good luck in 1963. I was on Tdy at a Navy-Marine Reserve Center in N Central Texas and was assigned to take some artillery reservists to Fort Sill for annual rifle training and Qualifications with their M1 rifles. I went to the ammo supply dump to Requisition ammo. The army supply Sgt. said that they had a shidt load of 3006 ball in clips in bandoleers and no M1 rifles so he gave me a whole shelf full of 3006 metal boxes and said don't bring any back, shoot it all up. I only had two officers and 18 enlisted. We shot up all but 4 boxes and the Executive Officer said take the left over ammo back in your deuce and half. He had his personal M1 and knew I had mine so we each got 2 boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where you live & shoot , at least you have the distance to use that caliber . I even have a new set of never used RCBS Die set for the 300 Win Mag. Do you need them ? THAT would be awesome, brother!!! Tell me what you'd like for them, and I'm all over that one!... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can have them , I will not need them , I've had them for a couple of years & as I said , I have no where to really use a 300WM , that cartridge needs some air for it to travel . The 308 has all I need or can use down here . Just PM me your address & after the Hurricane finishes with us , I will send them . I have some once fired brass I send with them , I think PIP , I'll have to look . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I found myself a new in the box Springfield National Match M1A loaded with a air gauged competition barrel at my favorite local gun shop. I found one on the internet and called my friend at the local gun shop to ask how much he would change to do a FFL transfer. He asked why I didn't buy from him. He has several new ones in stock. Gave me a price $100 less than I was paying, no shipping, no transfer fee. I was kinda ashamed that I didn't check with him first. I have bought two new guns from him. He is a good young guy, a cop trying to get a clientele established, he is really into tac arms class lll license, and he is into suppressor and night vision hog hunting, and does Creocoating. I pick the M1A up tomorrow afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmackc Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 A few .308 Nostler 168 match full magazines shy of $2K with my discounted. It will reach out there and touch someone. I got it for competition shooting. And because it will be my last iron sight shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think I should use a new leather 1907 sling or a Beachin' sling? I have several leather 1907 slings, but only one Beachin' sling in black and it is on my LR 308. Did someone say I need to buy another Beachin' 2 point sling? ....speak up I can't hear you! Pew!...Pew!...Pew! Varrrooom! Edited October 7, 2016 by mrmackc DUUUUH!
