Thx, the Rear base, Ap and knobs are used from a Garand... The rear sight cover is NOS out of wrap (ebay)
I have a M1 that the rear aperture will pop side to side with each click....easily seen when adjusting it. I don't shoot it much and is now the "cast" slinger so I will address that issue when I find a good cast loadIt was .308 Garand that got the new aperture fitted. Built a NM sight for that, so all the extra parts went on the Bula. Aperture on my Bula is just a hair loose without the cover and not too bad with the cover installed. If it moves much, it will open up your groups a bit, as you know...
I might have found some LC National Match ammo, but it's .30-06. Hope there's more than one box.
Don't pay to much for it. It's not worth it. Better off with the creedmoor if the NM is $1 or more.
I hit the range last Thursday after receiving my Nosler 168 CC blems earlier in the week. Charged 'em with 41.0 of 4895 and re-zero'd my rifle in slow prone, 100 yards, SR-1.
Once I was happy with slow prone I moved onto a rapid fire prone:.....

Just need to practice some off hand with the M14 before the Nov MM match.
I'll have to look into the M14 Postal Match too, thx.
Hey DW, you punching holes with the Bula yet?
Here's my first 5 shots for a 20 round postal match on the M14 forum:

My usual Lapua brass & 40 grains Varget, but this time used some 155 TMK's I bought on sale a few months ago. Sadly, I later F-ed up 2 shots that strayed outside the 10-ring. I already have a 199-9X which is currently 2nd place, so a 198 is-a no F-ing good.
A few more photos of the finished rifles would be nice.
Nice rapid fire string.
Goofed on the Varget weight. It's actually 41.0 gr. These are very nice rifles and were a hell of a deal. Glad someone posted about that 4th of July sale.
I'm bringing the Bula and the Winchester + vintage LC NM ammo to the next match. The .308 M1 will have to wait for the next Modern Military.
