Sisco Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 While this is primarily a 308AR Forum, and the best one on the web, a number of us also have 30 caliber service rifles, like the M1 Garand, or the M1A Springfield M14 clone. While there are other Forums specializing in them, how about a section on here for us to talk about them? Just a humble suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 I like the idea. And since the old BattleRifles forum has since changed their name four or five times, why can't we call the new subforum "Battle Rifles"? Or "Steel & Wood"? Or "Battle Wood"?

98Z5V Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 In the old days, based on suggestion, I created the section of ".30 Caliber from the AR-15 Platform" - shouldn't be hard to start another section, men. .30 Caliber from the AR-15 Platform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted October 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2016 Based on some of the concerns of some of the other forum members which are quite valid, I am withdrawing my suggestion. Don't want to ruin a good thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisco Posted November 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2016 What say we just start an Service rifle thread under "Rifles"? Any of us can start that, and it won't be real prominent and we can keep the conversation a little less high profile. As far as keeping the trolls out, we got some masters at doing that, so I won't be too worried about that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmackc Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 Several times I have posted about M1Garands and more lately on my new M1A NM that I have finally bought(I had a $2400 windfall that was a surprise. As a result I started feeling like I was injecting too much about the M1A, here on the 308ar.com site. That feeling made me play the devils advocate when Sisco suggested starting a new Garand-M14-M1A forum for the site. I was negatively positioned in my posting, and do regret that action. I am all for whatever you do in this line. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmackc Posted November 12, 2016 Report Share Posted November 12, 2016 Sisco, Thanks and I have a great deal of respect for the regulars here, yes I don't always agree with their positions, but agreeing is different than respect, have a great weekend. I got my new scope and Bassett mount on the new M1A. Pictures coming soon, I was shooting for a lowest position for the scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmackc Posted November 13, 2016 Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 I mounted the Bushnell 4x18 308BDC scope number 2 on the M1A NM rifle. I used a Bassett low Pickatinny mount and Weaver TAC 1" Medium rings. I wanted a good low scope mount. This si as low as I could go, I only have .020" clearance below the protruding shaft of the scope and .030 between the rear sight and the scope. I have a Xhigh set of rings that will give me an extra 0.28" clearance. I didn't have the ring screws tightened down all the way for the pictures. I also took a picture of my DPMS LR308 with #1 Bushnell 4x18 308BCD scope with Burris rings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted November 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2016 Nice! Shepp can we move this to the Service Rifle Thread? Man that looks really nice. Did you have to take off the stripper clip guide to attach the Basset Scope mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have to take off the stripper clip guide to attach the Basset Scope mount? No the stripper clip need not be removed, the Bassett mount has steel rods embedded in shallow groves in the mount and they fit in the horizontal and vertical groves in the receiver, the single screw is tightened to just the right amount of torque with a supplied small wrench that uses the weight of the rifle to torque the screw. The mount is easily removed and reattached and as long as the scope is left mounted to the mount it can be reattached using the special wrench without losing your zero. I am sorry I haven't found the service rifle thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
