So THAT'S the reason i'm tinkering with carbon fiber stuff. I knew there had to be a reason. Smoky MY FAVORITE M1A/M14 TWEAKS AND TIPS CARBON FIBER STOCK FROM BULA DEFENSE

The promo code CYBER25 just worked for me... $72 OFF! Thanks for the heads up! I been looking at the Miami Classic for years. Smoky MY FAVORITE M14 TWEAKS AND TIPS

Totally agree with that. I had a Kahles on an SSG back in the 80's and that sucker went thru some rough times and never lost zero. It took a 3-wheeler fall with me and developed a fog inside. Called up the distributor at the time and they swapped it out for new one. Diffrent reticle but brand new. Nothing but good things about the brand from me. Smoky MY FAVORITE M14 TWEAKS AND TIPS

Totally agree on 350 Legend availability. Not a lot of users... yet! It is catching on though. Folks are starting to realize the 30-30 power in an AR. Biggest hangup i had in the beginning was the mags. Went Duramag after that and found they work flawlessly. Yeah, technically, not a "big-bore" BUT it's bigger than a .223 with way more umph.

I'm partial to the .458 only because of pure coincidence. Was available, i tried it and still enjoy shooting the big thumper. Without doubt, it will cure your magnum fix. My first one came from a Wilson bundle that i built up and it was a good package. They usually have ammo in stock also. Here's a link for the 250 grainers. My bud runs a 450 Bush and i'm not sure he enjoys it as much as i do my 458. Guess it's a personality thing. If you are a glutton for punishment, 40 rounds of either will have you chanting nicely.

Ain't THAT the truth. Nothing new tho... that's trading. Smoky MY FAVORITE M14 TWEAKS AND TIPS

Agreed! MY FAVORITE M14 TWEAKS AND TIPS

I'm with you on the local trade shortage. Ever since Armslist started charging, the wheel fell off a smooth operation. Yeah, you had to be goon aware and be way careful but a lot of good folks were shopping there too. To my knowledge, the classifieds here is it. Smoky MY FAVORITE M14 TWEAKS AND TIPS

I'm another Shaw barrel guy and it's no big feat on a calm day using mini-mags to create a nickel to quarter sized ragged hole at 50 yards. Mine wears a Magpul Hunter stock and sports a cheapo Vortex scope on it but it shoots straight! Be safe at the range! Smoky MY FAVORITE M14 TWEAKS AND TIPS

AWESOME NEWS!

I was gonna go with them next time around but maybe not now. Like said, today's times of quality control leaves a lot to be desired. Will most likely rebarrel with a Wilson tube and grab a Duramag from C-products. They had a LOT of good things to say at the NRA show a while back. Best of luck tuning that Bear Creek 350. Awesome little round. Anxious to hear the range report.

Totally agree. That 1st version hurt my eye. Can't unsee it... owch.

AWESOME! I knew you'd like.

Wish i knew more about the Mod-0 configuration so could help. All of my past EBR experience was running Mod-1 CV models. However, looking at the Mod-0 pic below, it does look like it has a push pin to raise and lower. Cannot imagine it being rattly loose though. For reference, i also put in a pic of my last two EBRs from years ago. That style buttstock was rock solid for me when i started so i stuck with Mod-1. No help there for you on your Mod-0 but just showing the options in case you wanted to jump.

VERY nice! Navy seal grey is a hard color to come across too. One note tho... Not a biggie because nothing is hurt. Typical crash point when folks put scope mounts on without using the Sage modified handguard. Look at the very end of the mount where it is riding on top of the handguard. That interference is why the whole mount is riding uphill. The mount is not and cannot be secured into the receiver grooves properly like that. Needs to be modified. Several choices: - mill/file down the first four rungs of the handguard pic rail to clear. - mill/file the bottom of scope mount to clear pic rail rungs. - Order Sage handguard for scope mounts that comes from factory. - Buy a taller or shorter mount that clears the handguard. - Find a detachable Sage cantilever sight base. Hope that helps. Smoky

If you want the bestest and mostest in M14 accuracy, my opinion is you will be much better off spending your money on a quality barrel first. Then time your gas system with shims to get the most bolt dwell. For the money, Wolfe barrels have Kreiger performance for 100 bucks less. Their 5R/20 barrels have become very popular. Regardless whether you do Wolfe, Kreiger or a Medium weight Criterion, they all shoot circles around most Springfields. At least, if you are looking for 1 MOA or less. The Sage EBR works by greatly reducing barrel whip with a bolted op rod guide and tightly gripping the receiver like a bedded action. I like them a lot but, for me, I prefer a more traditional E2 laminate with good draw pressure on the ferrul. Each to his or her own. For the kind of money you're about to spend, you'll want it capable to blast apples at 500 yards.

My experience with Sage has been very good. Installed 3 of em and all shot very well. They feel good but are heavy. The op rod block is not that bigga deal, just enhanced placement of your tongue and patience. Keep in mind they not cheap but you might save a little by doing the install yourself. Like said before, $2500 to 3000 is about right for already done. You can also try the PX at M14Forum. Those guys are very willing to help. The old guys that helped me when i needed to learn are gone now but their old threads still keep on sharing knowledge. Best deal i found on the EBRs and Mod1s is at Clyde Armory in Athens GA. Smoky

Early on, i learned the hard way to always buy extra mags when you even think they are proprietary. Later on, those mags are sometimes worth more than the firearm. BTW... i got a return email from FRA and they are not out of business. Admittedly, they were on the ropes for several months but apparently have figured out a plan to rebound. I hope they do well. I like the CSA45. Very accurate and runs clean too.

For almost 40 years now, i've had some form of M1A, M14, M21, M25 or now the XM21 from BULA and can certainly state that preference as my tried and true platform. Messed with a few plastic guns and they just ain't got the magic in my hands. That said, my vote goes toward you gettin an M1A. Check out an attempt to modernize my M1A passion with pic rails and carbon fiber that has worked out okay, so far. Meet the XM21 in .308 from BULA... 150 grain Federal Premiums at 100yards...

I'm not into Sigs or Glocks but just seen this video and it looked pretty clear to me... Sig has a problem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8Oz6krEH_I&feature=em-uploademail
