Gene and Long range,
My department picked up two M-14's with the selector knob removed and pined. Both have plastic stocks instead of any wood. They are trying to turn them into Spotter's rifles. They are having immense troubles with every scope they mount to them. They complain that they will not consistently hold zero. I would show them this thread but my "friends" would probably end up saying: "So who are these guys again and what makes them so smart." They are using I 'believe" ARMS mounts and ATN's scopes (why I do not know). They are pushing 168's through them as that is what the state buys and we can go with them and get a major discount. I believe they are Winchesters. They were shooting a heavier grain that somebody mentioned above but not anymore. They are determined to put these rifles in service without spending any money on the 14 itself, just the scope, and mount. Should I let them in on some hints that I have learned here from professionals? I still have to keep reminding myself however, our "armorer" is only 32 years old and cannot handle being told he might be wrong or looking at the wrong item. He says it is not the 14's themselves also.
What would you guys do?
