    M1A - How to check head space???

    I just got a used M1A, some of the fine folks here suggest that I check the head space before shooting it. I appreciate the words of caution. How do I check the head space? Do I need special tools? What is the potential danger of shooting an M1A that does not have the proper head space?

    Please tell about this M1A...

    This thing looks to have had a green paint job, then someone went over that with black. I was told that it may have been an M14 in a prior life, I hear it may have been a parade rifle..... I borrowed it from a guy and I might buy it, but I'm not sure what I'm getting into or what it's worth...

    Scope a 1911 without drilling it?????

    I've got a Kimber 1911 in 45 ACP that I want to put a red dot on, but I don't want to drill and tap it. I've tried the mounts that replace the grip and don't care for them. Is there something that would mount in place of the rear sight??? I'd also like it to be a 1 - 2 MOA dot. Any ideas????

    I'm using BL-C2 for my .308 and it seems to be a hard powder to clean. The barrel is a dark charcoal, almost black (in the rifling), even after a lot of cleaning. Is there a powder with the same burn speed the shoots cleaner???

Are there any...
