    Scope Suggestions for M1A

    If you don't mean that you use quick detach rings, what do you mean "dismount the basset" to use iron sights without losing zero? I can't tell in the picture EDIT: Nevermind. The high basset allows the use of irons. I think you meant that you remove the entire mount, and because of the way...

    Scope Suggestions for M1A

    I just emailed basset about their low mount. It does allow the use of open sites, correct? Why would someone want the high mounts instead?

    Scope Suggestions for M1A

    So far, I like what I see with the PROSTAFF 5 4.5-18X40 Matte Mildot. I've always wanted a mildot scope. I will continue looking, but this may be the one.

    Scope Suggestions for M1A

    Good afternoon, I want to scope my Loaded Stainless M1A. Every scope I've ever owned has either been a 3-9 or a fixed 3 or 4 power scope, but I'd like to get one that's a little more powerful for this one. Maybe up to 14 power...? I'd like to keep it under $500, if possible, but I don't want...

    581 Mini 14 Bolt Problem-- Please Help

    Found the problem Found the problem. My extractor has a bur that hits whenever the bolt comes back. Would it be ok to file off the bur, or should I get a new extractor? Here's a picture....

    581 Mini 14 Bolt Problem-- Please Help

    I did all that you recommended, but it is still doing the same thing. When the bolt stops, if I gently touch the tip of the extractor/bolt then it will let the bolt slide all the way back to the bolt-stop. Something is keeping it from aligning as it is supposed to. I've cleaned the gun inside...

    581 Mini 14 Bolt Problem-- Please Help

    Sorry about that. I'm turning over a new leaf, and I'm going to be keeping all of my guns cleaned on the inside too, not just my handguns. I'll let you know if the grease does the trick.

    581 Mini 14 Bolt Problem-- Please Help

    Thank you very much. I will try it tomorrow. I hate to say this, but it serves as a testament to the durability of the mini, I have fired thousands of rounds through it without ever taking it apart and greasing it. This is the first time that I've taken it apart and cleaned it...

    581 Mini 14 Bolt Problem-- Please Help

    Ok I have an update! With the gun assembled, I can make the bolt go all the way back by gently pushing down on the end of the bolt by the extractors(?) right before it gets the the point at which it had been hanging up. Could a part of the bolt be worn or otherwise keeping it from rotating...

    581 Mini 14 Bolt Problem-- Please Help

    Yes. I bought it new in 2010. I don't know how many rounds through it, but it has to be in the thousands. It's a great rifle.

    581 Mini 14 Bolt Problem-- Please Help

    Let me be more specific.... I can get it working as it should with the bolt coming all the way back, without the trigger group in, but when I put the trigger group in, it won't go past the same point that it's been stopping at. I THINK the problem is in the bolt though, because with the...

    581 Mini 14 Bolt Problem-- Please Help

    I have a 581 mini and something is keeping my bolt from coming back quite far enough. I've disassembled it and reassembled it, but I haven't found the problem yet. When I have it disassembled, the bolt works fine until I put the trigger group back in. At that point, the bolt stops just...

    581 mini owners suggested ammo

    I fill up a gallon milk jug to the very top. If its not a threaded lid, I tape it on. On the side of the driveway, I have a 16 acre pasture... I set up 2-3 jugs on a piece of firewood at different ranges. When it comes to shooting, I'll drive or walk to different places in the yard or driveway...

    Please tell me the advantages of reloading.

    I have 0 experience reloading. I shoot at least once a week, sometimes several times a week. Depending on the mood, I will shoot my shotguns, .308, .223 and 5.56 nato, and some others. For this post, the most important ammo would be shotgun shells and .223/5.56. Those are the ones that I...
