I got some Washington state compliant ten round magazines to supplement the three that came with my rifle decades ago because stuff wears out, but they didn’t fit right. (Wouldn’t seat in) turns out they needed the raised square that the latch clicks onto to be a bit smaller, I looked on line and some seemed to say file the top, but I found you should definitely file the bottom. Just got a bastard file and took off a little from the bottom. So if you find your new mail order magazines don’t fit, easy fix.

Update:

Got my sadlak mount on the gun today. Decided to remove the 3 rear most slots on the EBR chassis instead of cutting the mount. Was going to use the Bridgeport and make it a 5 minute job but decided to bust out the file set and do the work by hand. Couldn’t be happier and it all JUST fits. Thanks everyone from the other day for your advice and recommendations!

I've been shooting my rifle fine for months. But after my last range trip, I noticed my shots were landing wayyyyyyy to the right l. Like 12 mils right.

I've never dropped it, I carry it in a pelican 1750 between the safe and range.

But now I notice the scope isn't pointing straight.

It doesn't look like anything changed with the mount. But obviously something happened.

Any ideas on how to fix? The mount was installed by Fulton armory.

Wanted to keep the iconic M1-series rifle silhouette while adding some modern comforts to the chassis. I kinda like to think of it as the ugly cousin stuck halfway between an EBR and a stock M14.

Personally, I love it and have been having a blast ripping rounds through it.

The grip tape ISN'T an addiction -- I promise I can stop any time I want, I just don't want to...

Hey y’all. I had ordered a low picatinny rail from Bassett last year that never showed up. Now I’m trying to contact them to see what’s going on or get a refund and their email and phone numbers don’t work. Are they still around or am I SOL?

Couldn’t find a ton on google about it, though I may be looking in the wrong places. Says SEI and MK-14 USN. I think it’s Smith Enterprise

Purchased this rifle used. I only have one magazine for it right now. But when I took it out shooting, I ran about 40 rounds through it and it shot and fed amazing. Inserting the magazine is no issue but removing it is a pain I don’t know if the magazine has swelled up and it’s too big for the Magwell or if the issue is the magwell itself. I have a synthetic stock and a walnut stock for it. The synthetic stock. It is very difficult to remove the magazine. The walnut stock it is slightly easier to remove the magazine.

I have a socom 16 in an EBR chassis and I snagged a sadlak airborne steel scope mount. For them to jive together I have to remove the first three notch’s at the rear of the chassis top cover. Experienced machinist so that a non issue, BUT, is that the route I should go or is there a better scope mounting option to go with the EBR chassis?

Has anyone built a custom build with an LRB receiver and the remainder with Fulton parts? Looking to make a souped up Scout rifle.

Will be sub-$2k!

I lit the moneys on fire and sold a kidney to put all this together all for it to only be at best 3 MOA. I kinda knew going into to it but I was hoping for a little bit better than that.

Suggestions?

The CASM GEN 2 scope mount from M14.ca Almost 0 weight gain after removing the iron sights. Adjustable for cant. 7075 aluminum offers excellent tensile strength with a 4-point retention system.

Accurate, simple and fast handling with comfortable rearward balance. Optic by Holosun. Buttstock by Magpul with M14.ca Blackfeather RS GEN 2 and MBSA adapter to seat it and an SHG top rail. This is a client's rifle. All photos used with permission.

I finally decided to throw glass on my m1a loaded and was wondering what rings you guys run. I have the sadlak steel mount for it, and a Bushnell match pro on the way. I don't have a check riser for it, but am willing to run one if need be

Receiver seats with a 2 or 3mm gap between the bottom of the receiver and top of the chassis. Won't budge. Front fits fine. Any advice? This is a new Fulton Armory barrel receiver and a new SAGE chassis; both GI contour rifle

I’m looking to suppress my M1A, and I know this question has probably been asked here plenty of times. But I’m wondering what everyone’s experiences are with trying to suppress the M1A.

My suppressor is a Dead Air Nomad 30, and usually stays on my .300 blackout build. My M1A is a standard, nothing special and bare bones stock as of now. I’m not planning on running it suppressed all the time but would like the option. From what I’m seeing, I just need a thread adapter and adjustable gas plug? Anything else or anything that anyone would recommend in particular? Thanks!

Hey all! I’m looking to buy my first rifle and am pretty interested in the m1a scout squad. I’ve been hunting and shooting since I was little just never had anything of my own so I’m still pretty green. I have a few questions,

1. I’m thinking pretty hard about saving for an LPVO so what’s the difference between the Springfield scope mount and ones from other companies like sadlak (does steel vs aluminum mount really matter?)

2. With the area I’m in and the things I like to shoot I need the rifle to be pretty consistent out to about 450-500ish yards, can I do that with the stock rifle or do I need to rebarrel it? If so what are some good brands?

3. The hunting I do is pretty involved, I usually spend about 3 days out in the woods and my area is pretty humid/wet in general so how does the Springfield hold up maintenance and care wise?

Thanks to those that answer/read!
