When the 14 matured into the M21 and M25, the 14 came into it's own. In many cases you'll see an M21 clamped to the roll bar. Look at the pictures of the spec ops guys in the dune buggies in Iraq in 91. Now almost 90 years later they've gone back to the mentality "One shot one kill". UNderstand that since WWI the military did studies on how many rounds were fired to produce a kill. You're losing the ability to "reach out". Even if the ammo holds true, remember that you double the number for every hundred yards.
Quick note always understand that some ammo that works great at 100 yards may not perform so well as 200 or beyond. M39 was unused (I stripped it later to clean the gunk out of the bolt) Finish Arsenal gun). The poor guy was not happy and hell, he's 74. Works good in a lot of Soviet style tubes (this one was Finish). Funniest thing of all, 2 or 3 weeks before that, a friend of my friend had a new "F" class rifle out (very expensive) and he wasn't really getting good groups out of it (even with ammo I brought), when my friend offered to let him try an M39 with a PU scope, he outshot the "F" class rifle. my friend had his 94, I was working with some ammo I'm testing and he outshot the SOCOM with the 94, I outshot the "SUPER MATCH" with a standard grade SAI (with NM sights) - 200 yards. I regret letting it go, but it went to work in law enforcement.īut seriously, guy came out with a whopteedoo "Super Match" and a Socom. With iron sights, deadly little rifle to 500 yards on the OLD IPSC item targets. I carried it in a scabbard for SAR and I shot a lot of "practical" matches with it. I do wish my eyes were youngerīest brush gun I've ever known was my old Remington Mohawk in. I've always tried to push the limits, once I was taught to shoot distance by one of Jim Land's era Snipers. Nope, couldn't talk him out of the rifle, and I tried.īUT, I simply don't see the point of loping 6" of the barrel of what was designed as a main battle rifle (MY OPINION). still works fine and this guy is REALLY slow fire, he still has ammo I loaded for it 30 years ago. I sent that one home with my old Lapua Palma hand loads. The exception was a Devine where the owner wouldn't change the barrel from the USGI chrome lined tube. Mine got returned with a handload, since I prefer to test it to make sure it's right.
I love this rifle and use it for most everything now.Įvery M1A I've worked on (with one exception) was a sub minute gun. I took the bulky rail system off of mine, and put a GI handguard on. Mine does 1-1.5, depending on what I shoot.
