[QUOTE="rost495, post: 46087, member: 1768"] Hi Jerry I have to disagree on throat length. As long as its a good barrel and the chamber is done correctly, long throats will shoot right along with short ones. I had a couple of rifles built (M1A and a bunch of AR15s) with long throats on purpose, and when shooting slow fire they were great. But the surprising part is that rapid fire mag length ammo in those throats was as accurate if not more so than any of my short throated guns. I"ve only dealt with long throats in about 11 barrels though so it could be a fluke [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Good quality barrel, correct chamber, and correct bedding are the most important factors along with the perfunctory normal, get the best load for your rifle stuff that goes without saying. Seen any of the Norinco clones blow up? I had a couple and dumped them after some bad reports years ago. But since the AR will shoot circles around the M1A, even out to 1000, I don't mess with the M1As that much any more. Later, Jeff [/QUOTE]
