Well, I now have a m21 with a 6x40 scope. I'm not much of a match shooter, but may get into it down the road. Anyways, would anyone field the m21 as an MBR? How about the availability of match .308/7.62x51 in a stressful situation?
For what you suggest I'd probably keep another fitted stock around for it. A glass or synthetic or plain wood you could drop the action in might be handier than the M21 stock. As for ammo just lay in a good supply of M80 and don't worry about "match" accuracy. It'll still shoot very well, plenty good enough for the problem at hand. Hey.....just but a Standard or a Scout to go with it! GI6
Have an M21 that I am dropping into a service stock for high power comp. Picked it up for a good price and shoot service rifle, not match catagory. Get a Boyds inleted for a rear lug and bed it. The its off to the races with some M80 ball.
Yes, I shoot Litho Surplus in my M1A "loaded" model all the time. It has a measured 1.632 HS and it functions fine. Nato and commercial ammo all are manufactured to the same SAAMI specs. dozier
Since my National Match is along the same specs as the old Vietnam era M21, I can actually shoot surplus through it? I have been keeping my ammo as Federal, Winchester, and Magtech with grainage as low as 147 and 150 grain. I only have a little bit of the 168 grain Sierra Match Kings left I don't shoot much.
