Can the M1-A be converted to 260 remington, and at what cost with a match barrel? I am thinking 140gr match bullets if the overall length would not be to long. Matt FISH!!

yes... i think that IT&D did some work on 308 based rounds into these... look in SGN, you'll see it... figure 400 bucks for a douglas barrel, install... jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Sounds like a neat idea for a recoiless rifle. Jason "Chance favors the prepared mind." | |||

A neat idea if it is any more accurate than the 308 at long range. Lower recoil is nice, but not what I'm after. Matt FISH!!

How about the other direction with a .338-08? ______________________ Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie? | |||

What are you after exactly? You're gonna have to go quite a distance to beat the accuracy capability of the .308 in the M1A. If you're just looking to improve your accuracy, you might start with tuning the rifle and then the load... In the right hands, these things can be phenomenally accurate. | |||

The point is to have something different? ______________________ Are you gonna pull those pistols or whistle Dixie? | |||

Only if it were more accurate. So the point is more accuracy?  | |||

absolutely - have a friend who did it in 243 for running deer & it worked great. only thing is to watch the barrel diameter - at first he got his a bit big and it rubbed on the operating rod. I did one in an FN in 243 that works great too | |||

I recall that the US Navy Small Arms Technical Unit (SATU) in San Diego experimented with the M-1 rifle and cartridges based on teh .308 Win case (the Navy was shooting M-1 rilfes in .308 then, as well as the M-1a/M-14). 7 mm, 6.5 and 6 mm were all tried, and as I recall the results on the target did not improve materially over the 7.62X51. jim if you're too busy to hunt,you're too busy. | |||
