Tony Ben upgraded rifle
Recently got my Springfield M1a back from Tony Ben!
these are the upgrades he did
-Installed heavy barrel
-Epoxy bedded the action to the stock
-Cleared wood inside the forearm for heavy barrel clearance
-Glued in (epoxied) the stock ferrule
-Opened up the stock ferrule for gas cylinder clearance
-Unitized the gas cylinder via plug welding and bent the hand guard tabs up
-Shimmed for proper gas lock timing
-Cleared the hand guard so that it does not make contact with the wood stock
-Polished all the trigger surfaces that have friction
-Removed second stage creep from the trigger (breaks clean now)
-Trigger pull se to 5 pounds (Will lighten to 4.5 pounds over time as the hammer spring wears)
-Properly installed the Fulton mount and torqued to spec
-Calibrated iron sights at 100 yards
Can’t wait to shoot this thing. has anyone else had these upgrades done? how much did it improve the accuracy of your rifle? The rifle is quite heavy now
