Those look pretty sweet!
For those of us who don't know what they each are, could you kindly tell us?

Surely.
On top, is a Smith Enterprise M25 build. In the center is a Steyr Tactical Scout in .308 with the Cooper package. Last but not least is an Accuracy International AE.

All glass pictured is Leupy. On the M25 is 4-14x40, on the AE is 6.5-20x50 mil-dot. Steyr has original Steyr marked IER leupy glass.
Sweet...Thanks for the specs ![[wink]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/002.gif "Wink [wink]")

I'm usually a wood and steel man, but I think that M1A is sweet.

No, only 168gr Federal match, I've saved all my brass for the one day I do set up to handload.
Glad you like it, it's not an M1A though. The receiver heel reads "U.S. Rifle 7.62-MM M-14 NM Smith Ent."
I'm sure it sounds picky to some, but M1As are a trademarked product of Springfield Armory Inc. and it's only an M1A if it says so on the heel. Of course, generally speaking, "M1A" has become the blanket term for M14s that cannot be converted to select fire.
I started, oh a decade or so ago, with a used "loaded" M1A. I enjoyed it so much, I started learning all about these rifles.
This might be more some folks speed:
Thats all USGI except for the Armscorp receiver, Sadlak piston, and Krieger standard profile barrel.

Hey there, small world.
I've got three, all of which are rear lugged, one is "Forged" marked.
Which stock? The Mcmillan M3A? or the tiger striped GI stock?

It's an original GI stock, made for Uncle Sam in the 60's.

He was a few that would clean up real nice (although maybe not as spectacular as Arcwelder's).
These two look pretty nice...

Tiger stripe like my stock averages $400 on up.
This vendor has (or should I say had), some for $350.00...

Did you refinish that stock yourself or did you buy it like that?
I bought it all crappy and refinished it myself. I'm sure Freds has some, if you can actually reach a human.
