  1. I would spend more money and get one of the M1As made with forged parts and U.S. G.I. quality parts instead of Sprinfields made in taiwan parts. But then that is just me as a one time owner of 3 Springfield M1As before they went low made in Taiwan quality. Kinda like Daniel Defense Quality vs one of the bottom feeder ARs.

  2. Hardly ever. I bought my 10/22 in 1978 and put around a 1000 rounds per year through it and have probably cleaned it 5 times though I oil it. Last winter the rifle started to eject funny and had to wipe the case out of the action ,I thought it was cleaning time. The problem was the extractor was so worn out if popped out of the bolt so I replaced it with a Volquartson kit and now it works better than new.

    Depends on the trigger guard. The square ones are hard on the knuckles and the round ones are just great.

    A set of Hogues makes a big difference on all of them.

    To me it is the felt recoil in the single actions that I dislike. A Redhawk is not bad at all and from a Desert Eagle is like a 45 ACP+P out of a 1911.
  4. The 223/ 5.56 is no more or less difficult than any other rifle caliber. There is in all other calibers a learning curve to get the dies adjusted properly .Be sure to get a case size gauge like this http://www.lewilson.com/casegage.html they are imo almost a necessity once I started using them . Dillon dies work great for progressive loaders IMO. The only caliber I have trouble with is 40 S@W. I think the problem is the cases fired from Glocks. I load ,223, 30/06, 308, 300 Weatherby mag ,38 special, 357 mag, 9mm, 40S@w and 45 ACP . Come to think about it I haven't shot my 223 for at least a year! I'll have to do it soon.

  5. Having the privilege to onetime being able to shoot a full out 1911 based race gun in 38 super, the basics were explained to me, the 38 super can be [is] overloaded to get more gas at the compensator to make the compensator eliminate muzzle rise. When shooting the pistol there was no muzzle rise and virtually no felt recoil. "As well as the powerfactor etc."
