Looking for a Midwest Industries RMR mount for my M1A, the one that attaches to the barrel and allows co-witnessing with irons. I know its a long-shot as these are discontinued. would also settle for their aimpoint micro mount. Thanks!

Hi guys, I've been considering glass bedding my M1A that is currently sitting in a standard walnut stock from Springfield. I decided to let a gunsmith do it for me so I call one up and ask him for a quote on glass bedding. He asked if my stock had a metal liner in it. I was not sure what that...

Anyone else tried this IMI stuff specifically? Stocking up for NJ. I don’t want to run dry and have to deal with the ammo purchasing while there. Got a decent deal on these, nothing 2021 crazy. Still reloading but it’s nice to have a few neat boxes for a rainy day. I’ve been pleased with IMI...

Good morning, I split my time at work between a feed truck and a saddle. For years I’ve had Winchesters, both 94 and 70, in circulation until seven years ago when my “girlfriend’s dad,” now my father-in-law, gifted me a Ruger Guide in ‘06. These made splendid truck guns, which I’ve come to...

Hi, I originally wanted to buy an AR15 or a bullpup, but CA's AWB came out and I needed a rifle, so I bought a standard M1A for a very good deal for about $1,400. After a few years, I decided to work on the M1A and build it up with the Blackfeather RS chassis along with the LSP. I had a lot of...

I could go with a receiver mount but wanted to try the front rail system too. I have a picatinny extension in, and a cantilever mount for my crossfire II 2x7 scout scope. it feels sturdy enough, and my sight picture with my cheek riser is perfect. Want to hear other recommendations / advice

So before we get into the Why anyone would want to use the M1D style scope mount on an M1A, I want to get into the How can it mounted or is it possible? I’ve looked up everything I can about both the mount and the rifle and was easily able to find a repro mount and scope. The trouble I’m running...
