I've shot service rifle for nearly all the NRA Highpower Rifle competitions that I have been in. I'm Distinguished, High Master, Louisiana Champ twice, current Texas Highpower Rifle Champ, NM state team shooter, Texas Garand Champ, Vintage Military Champ, et, et.
I like service rifle. Currently deerhunting with a Krag.
But, now I've decided to take a walk on the dark side. I'm have a match upper made for my AR. I've put this off for quite a while because I've been a service rifle snob. If you can't shoot the match with a peep and front post on a 20-inch barrel it doesn't need to be shot.
Rick Crawford is doing the barrel and assembly.
Here's the parts list:
Douglas 1/7.7 barrel.
DPMS match flat-top upper.
Riles 22mm front sight base.
White Oak Precision float tube and handstop.
Centra rear sight with service rifle knobs . (turn the same directions as AR)
I'm going to shoot it on an AR lower with a Kreiger/Milazzo trigger that is very light. Might bulk up the pistol grip.
The barrel will be left long so that we can cut it back and rechamber a couple of times as the rifling wears.
Probably put glass in the front to get a little target magnification.
This year we are going to shoot the new NRA mid-range course of fire a few times, (300-500-600) and I plan to shoot it in the NRA regionals. Ought to be an interesting addition.
The only time I have shot High Power match rifle was at Camp Perry during long range week when someone loaned me a Tubb gun in .308 to shoot. It was the best rifle I have ever shot and I shot it a little better every day.
Ordering all the parts online or on the phone since they are just parts. Nothing with a serial number.
