AR-15 Tools

A1 style sights but know I need to use the “L” marked sight for 25M. Now my question with is should I use an “A1 zeroing target” or a “M4 zeroing target” or just make do with an A2 target, now I know these targets make the rifles accurate to 300M+ but I plan on shooting up to 25-75 yards at the most since I will be hunting with it this fall in the woods and don’t need a .308 with a scope that can see what color underwear a flea is wearing at 300 yards. So any help will be appreciated.

I do have them in my SKS’s Even without the spring installed, they offer a reduced chance of a slam fire. Instead of a conical shaped firing pin head pushing up into a conical shaped hole, the pin is just round at the end and never contacts the conical hole in the bolt.

The one real problem with them is that if you have a pierced primer the flame entering the bolt through the hole will take the temper out of the spring and render it useless. Even with the spring in this condition the pin still functions properly. Mr. Murray has also discovered what seems to be the cause of a lot of these pierced primer incidents. On a lot of SKS Rifle Stocks bolts, there seems to be a burr or raised edge around the firing pin hole on the face of the bolt. By removing this burr it stopped my SKS’s from having any more pierced primers.

6/9/2005 12:43:14 PM Humm, you aren’t gonna like me at all. I had an SA M1A Standard when I ran across a deal on a Garand that had seen better days…….It is now rebarrelled in .308. I say get the M1A Accessories and have the Garand Rebarreled in .308 then start stocking up on suplus 7.62 ammo as you are gonna need it Karsten RED_5 6/9/2005 12:51:14 PM well I’d like to have a M1 in .308, but I’d highly recommend not butchering an otherwise GOOD M1.. may I suggest making one from a beater with no historical value or building one from scratch.

F22_RaptoR 5/28/2008 3:50:02 AM I think the Mesa stock tube adaptor was made for using Ghost ring and other raised sights. Unless you have a higher cheek bone (like me) then using the bead may be unpossible, unfortunatly. I dont have one of these FYI. Gungho_1989 5/28/2008 9:23:49 AM I would look at a set of ghost rings again maybe they will fit the bill. I dont believe the XS sights would cure the problem though. knightvision 7/21/2008 9:24:01 PM havent been back here in awhile. im actually gonna try a speedfeed stock to see how i like that. im hoping someone wants to switch from the speedfeed to Mesa Tactical adapter so i listed it up for trade. MAX100 7/21/2008 10:19:47 PM I had the same problem with the Mesa Low tube stock adapter. It didn’t work well with either bead sight or with receiver mounted GRS. The recoil was brutal also so I sold it. I now have a Arms Tech stock adapter that has enough stock drop for both and I am very pleased. Recoil with it is the same as a regular stock. The Mesa low tube stock adapter is well made and looks nice but it doesn’t work it is not a good product. GC knightvision 7/21/2008 10:29:27 PM hmmm, i like the idea of the product so maybe i will check the arms tech adapter. i would be curious to see the products side by side. ETA: just checked the product. i think i may try that adapter. MAX100 7/21/2008 10:50:37 PM Here is the Arms Tech on one of my many shotguns. I reinforce the inside with a large washer that I took down the diameter. The large washer gives good metal to metal contact with the screw and lock washer. I used a larger washer in the pistol grip also. The CAA stock saddle gives a good cheek weld. The Tapco SAW grips has enough storage to fit two rounds. I have a SOG Viking rubber pad on the stock which is excellent quality for the money. The shotgun is a Norinco 982 with GRS. The AT adapter has held up well with no problems after about 1000 rounds. It is tough and well made.

*I know if I would have bought a domestic shotty I would not have to worry about this. 922r compliance with a Benelli AccessoriesM2 is much easier than with a Benelli AccessoriesM4: I have both. The factory original Benelli Accessoriesextension tube is vintage ’91. Surefire USA made 200 lumen 617 LM forend and USA made magazine follower= 922r compliance on a Benelli AccessoriesM2. I needed a weapon’s light for a HD shotgun anyway and the made-in-USA magazine follower is about $20. If you require a red magazine follower for range safety, Brownells offers red anodized made-in-USA followers for both 3" & 3.5" Benelli Accessoriesshotguns: http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=20384/Product/SHOTGUN_FOLLOWERS. This rig is 922r compliant. HTH,

Trijicon ‘s New HD Trijicon Night Sights are designed to excel under the most demanding conditions by placing primary emphasis on faster front sight acquisition. This new design incorporates enhanced front sight visibility with a de-emphasized rear sight. Upfront, a tritium lamp lies within an extra-large, brightly colored (yellow or orange) dot area that provides a distinctive sighting picture. In addition, special photo luminescent (glow-in-the-dark) powder in the paint aids in faster front sight acquisition during transitional lighting operations.

The money to do what you and others suggest (e.g. handloading equipment, ammunition, trigger time, minor enhancements) has to come from somewhere. My financial situation dictates that something else has to sell to pay for it. This is the basis for the question: "Can I reasonably expect to get the M1A Accessories where I want eventually, assuming I do the work needed to get there?

I had a forerail before, and just upgraded to the Vltor CASV EL. My setup would not have fit on just a flat top receiver, and since the Eotech 512 is the same size as the 552, I can’t see it working either. Before Vltor, the magnifier just barely cleared the collapsed BUIS. [...]

The only thing the Trijicon Reflex has over the EOTech is its light weight and the lack of batteries. The Trijicon sits on my WASR 10/63 and the EOTech on my LMT MRP Piston carbine. rvaducks Bronze Contributor Team Sep

No complaints here. The more savings, the better! gjohnson 7/16/2011 11:33:08 AM Well poop. I’m trying to decided on which light to buy and I have it narrowed down to an Surefire X300 or the M600c Scout light, and cant make up my mind for the life of me. People, I need your help to spendmy hard earned money. In return, you may live vicariously through me. triburst1 7/16/2011 5:41:02 PM gjohnson: Well poop.

Unless you are bench resting andshooting targetsshooting, you probably will not notice any difference between 7n6 and quality (Fed, IMI, etc.) 556.

I have an LWRC M6AK and it shoots essentially as well as my 556.

Terminal ballistics of 7n6 are better (IMO) than all but the exotic 556 rounds.

I have a M1S with 20″ bbl and float tube, NM iron sights, plain muzzle.
From the prone position as in Service Rifle, it will hold the X ring @ 100 yards using the SR-1 and SR-21 targets, using surplus.
Sorry, but I don’t have any scanned in. I built this for the kid to have cheap short range practise and it becomes everybody’s favorite once they shoot it….

Kind of a drift but is there really much of a gain (other than sight radius if using irons) in going with the 20″ barrel instead of a 16″? I mean the 5.45 velocity is up there anyway and doesn’t lose much out of a short barrel so does the extra few inches stabilize even more to show a big difference accuracy wise?

5.45 was designed for use in 16″ barrels, and has some great velocity already out of a 16″, so I see no practical benefits in a longer pipe. Vuurwapen did a great video on 5.45 at 600yds, and printed some nice groups at that range as well, which is way more performance than the Soviets ever envisioned for the caliber, unless talking about a long-barreled RPKS-74.

so then this 5.45 is actually a pretty good accurate round??? why is everybody talking about Cproduct mags for this… will regular Pmags not work..????

so is it safe to say that a 5.45 Ar should be able to produce 1moa or better????

5.45 hits stuff that I point it at as far as I can see with the naked eye. I don’t shoot paper so I’m not sure what groups I’m getting.

If you search, there was a recent post (not necessarily here ) by someone who modified PMag followers to work with 5.45 to near if not full capacity. Unmodified, the case taper of the 5.45 round causes the rounds to bind at far less than full (30 round) capacity.

I don’t know as I have had what I guess is extremely good luck with C-Products mags.

Exotic rounds, yes; others no.

The “not really a hollow point” tip of 7n6 allows the nose to “collapse” on impact and tumble.

Remember, we are talking about surplus rounds which are around $0.15 each, not exotic Mk7422 at $1.00 each.

If I had a choice of which I was going to be shot with, it would NOT be 7n6 5.45.

It’s as accurate (or consistent I guess) as the 5.56 stuff I paid double for. At least it is once I realized how important Loctite is on mounting screws…
