If Not, and if your are interested in those 2 glorious “Old School” 7.62 and 30-06 battle rifles then you (and all of us) got Really Lucky! That’s because this guy is a Guru of considerable fame in that circle of weaponry. If you have ever watched a You-Tube tutorial about the M1A and any of the many tweaks and improvements that can be made to Tune the rifle it is Very likely that Tony Ben here is the guy who made it and published to the web.
Before all you Young Ones turn your nose up at one of those heavy, wood stocked, old-fashioned .308 / 7.62 military rifles over your tricked-out, race running AR-15’s or bad-ass, bug hole shooting tactical bolt guns you should find someone who will give you 5 rounds to put down range with their M1A or Garand…
Talk about “Old-School Cool”, and feeling the sensation from all that Heavy Metal “machinery” reciprocating among the slowed and dampened recoiling when sending those big 168 gr pills at the target…it just Feels Good!
The guys who shoot these rigs already know what I’m talking about. But for those who have never let the bolt fly home over a new magazine of these potent cartridges and felt all that mechanical glory every time you squeeze one off you don’t know what you’re missing
Tony is in process to re-locate his M14 / Garand upgrades trade shop from Oregon to Auberndale, FL and I will be one of the first guys through the front door for a professional / somewhat tricky Epoxy Bedding job for one of my very favorite rifle.
I just wanted to ring the bell a bit about a new and Very Valuable “resource” who has just joined us and maybe even get some more action percolating in the “American Battle Rifles” section of the Florida Shooters Forum…
Everyone stay well, Steve
