knock knock-whose there? mr.super duper match

[ODDJOB UNO]

yep today is the day we take the springfield super duper match from hell into the next SOLAR SYSTEM of accuracy and functionality.

yeah you would think a stainless barreled super match w/mcmillian usmc f/glass stock couldnt be improved upon after waiting 14 months from their custom shop to arrive, and spending scarey bucks on it.


horsey POO!


over the years of owning this heavy azzed beast from hell, we have taken it to phil arrington(arringtonaccuracy.com). phil is from the old school(camp perry master shooter/high scorer) and he has werked on my M-1 carbine and this super duper match(trigger job) before and a number of my boss' spoons.


anyway phil waved his magic wand on mine and did a trigger job and dinked around with this and that. its all NM parts from the factory and it was fashionably dressed with a 3rd generation springfield scope mt. and 4.5 x 14 x 50mm illuminated mil dot reticle scope from springfield.

well along comes a bunch(emphasis BUNCH) of better mousey traps(thank you iraq/afghan) to see if we can make dem dar groups EVER SO TIGHTER at excruciating ranges that flat make yer sphincter pucker.

butt the bottomline to this damn thing we need to put it on a diet big time.

so here we go with the menu:

NM flashhider. already have one but mine from factory did not come with bayonet lug. scrounged one up(NM) with bayo lug. its legal to have a bayo lug now and damnit i want a bayo lug! admitted i am adding some weight cuz of that damn lug being added. screw it. nothing better on opening day of hunting and coming out of trailer looking and feeling my best with "BAYONETS FIXED" to elicit a hell of a laugh out of everyjuan. why? because i can. and when hunting elk you can NEVER have enough sharp knives to skin them. and i have a new usgi bayo diamond sharpened, which i carry in pack along with about 3 other various skinning knives. dont know about you but i dont have time to sharpen knives while skinning an elk cuz 99.9999% of the time its cold as hell and dark.

op rod spring guide from sadlak

dual allen bolt bipod mt for harris bipod from sadlak

havent figured yet either sadlak 82nd airborne alum QD mt or titanium QD scope mt and ditch springfield 3rd generation mt and save alot of weight there. plus it gives me a scope mt for SOCOM if wanted.

chrome silicone springs

install tactical oversized mag latch sadlak. wayyy nice w/gloves on.

install oversized bolt hold open latch sadlak. wayyyy nice with gloves on.


already installed TiCN coated NM piston


basically all these internal components are upgrades over and above NM specs. plus since i own a SOCOM also they will get the benefit of NM parts thrown at them from this super duper match(sick huh?).


so i dont know if we will use our same scope rings. thats a variable with either the sadlak alum/titanium scope mt. 82nd airborne alum mt IS lighter than titanium mt. but obviously TI mt stronger. dont know here yet and will follow phils teachings. if we can save weight on rings i will.


im gonna weigh this before it goes to phil and then after and see if we shaved anything. i imagine we will save weight over the 3rd generation springfield scope mt. after that we will see.


gonna go out with phil when hes finished to ben avery and sight this monster in again with federal 168gr HPBT's and see what we have gained over past groups.


what the hell its HOT here...............and its something to do.



stay tuned for upcoming HK-91 latest high fashion exterior interior coating pics from RDTS.com here. total strip down, total exterior refinish and interior refinish along with combat wombat tactical mag flapper lever installed(huge deal to do this correctly) on HK-91. this thing will HURT URINE EYES ITS SO NEW LOOKING! remember i owned it since i was around 20 years old. thats alot of deer/elk hunts ago thrashing around in dezerts and forests.


worth every penny and then some. it is BEAUTIFUL X 1000!


will take pics and post later.


happy honkey trails!

Impressive...but my box stock 1950's Remington model 721 in .257 Roberts caliber can put in 1/2" bench rest groups at 100 yards using factory cor lok ammo...that's adequate for my needs. Oh, topped with a straight 4X Leupold scope with duplex hairs.

My dad bought the rifle at a cop auction...he tipped by the game cop who took it from a poacher. I changed the cheap scope it had for the Leupold...great little hunting rifle.

[ODDJOB UNO]

heres the hk-91 after total r and r from rdts.com c/o ralph.


ralph sites in at 936yds laser range finded(thats all the room he has until mtn.). i gave him a box of federal match. the 1200 meter sites are TEETS on and the hensoldt is spot on.



and heres the recipient of ALL the NATIONAL MATCH parts from the super duper match from hell springfield M1-A.




mr. SOCOM FROM HELL! please note how BALANCED it is!


obsessive compusive disorder is KEENLY ACUTE HERE! actually TERMINAL OCD!

[pwd72s]

Ohhhh, looks scary... But I really don't need a sniper rifle... And if I did, I'd go with the superior accuracy of a bolt action.

i hate to pop yer bubble. 1/2" groups ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE to us!


the super duper match sans scope is used for 1000yd palma matchez. no scopes ever.


the hk sans scope is used for the arizona state pistol/rifle assoc. 1000yd military rifle championships. as well as super duper match. both are legal here w/out scopes.


if they dont put them thru the same hole...........................


1) i feeked up on my breath or trigger pull

2) the wind/ambient temps/heat of barrel

3) humidity/barometric pressure/earth spin/solar sun spots/common house fly jet blast!

4) the round. pretty doubtful there as we buy federal by the case of the same case lot number.

5) we FEEKED UP ON THE BUILD!


the SOCOM is a solid 600yd spoon with ghost ring night sites. its entire porpoise(purpose) in life is to tell bears, and bad guy murr-durr-ers(red-rummers)escaped cons, that they cant play in my general vicinity while camping fishing etc. and it does multi-functional property guard duty on occasion. (ALWAYS BRING ENOUGH GUN!) and w/25 rd mags on the socom.................well lets just say this: the multi-techni-colored FLASH will probably KILL THEM FIRST!

OJ, what reticle in the Hensoldt? German #1? Howza bout a reticle pic?

[ODDJOB UNO]

stay tuned coming up here. i got invited by ralph smith(rdts.com) to come along the next time he goes and tests his HK21E's that he builds.


yep belt fed .308's FROM HELL . these are wayyyyyyy over the top INSANE! super duper mucho mucho MEGA BUCKS to own one. told him i would buy beer and all my ammo. imagine this juan ought to break the bank as far as ammo expense. but anyway he wants a bunch of pics taken of these operating for his website from multi angles. also has slow motion camera for getting closeups of shells extracting after being fired. HE HAS NEVER WORN OUT A BARREL! these damn things are FIREBREATHING MO-FO's and i cant wait to let a few belts go.


this will be a mega nikon pic day.


if yer gonna do a bolt.............hell have mcmillian build you a M40-A1/A2/A3(pick yer poison) on a rem 700 platform. mines a M40-A1. shoots thru same hole time after time, time after time. only variable is ME or the wind or the prop wash of a common house fly.

standard 3-pt reticle. meaning left/right/down post illuminated with lil hash marks for range finding.


there is a website i think its called hensoldt Z-24 and it gives the data for come-ups/sight in etc. and all the variations of scopes supplied to hk over the years. essentially hensoldt is the same as zeiss. kind of like gm has chevrolet.


ralph swears by these leupold 6.5 X 20 LRT scopes on ANY of his HK rifles including the HK-21E fire breathers. he stated yesterday if they made a 6.5 X 30 or 40 he would take it this second. hes old like me so our eyes at 1000yds kind of suck.


i think the leupold LRT in 6.5 X 20 was $1299 USD

[ODDJOB UNO]

and i'll bet some of you peudners while drooling over these were wondering "what the hell did OJU put on the end of his hk-91 barrel???????????????


well let me tell ya. its a barrel cap. and its BLACK! and once upon a time a long time ago in a land far away...........OJU FORGOT to REMOVE that BLACK RAIN/DUST CAP! and OJU shot the HK w/cap ON! and sent it down range mucho yards much to his astonishment at his STOO-PIDITY!


quite a few people got a good laugh at that scientific experiment gone wayyy wrong.


so the OBVIOUS BARBER POLE white warning tape.


please note the uber spendy(OUCH MEGA OUCH $$$) MSG-90 trigger on the HK-91. ralph played with that also. and its MUCHO BUENO!



basically everythang TEFLON IMPREGNATED same as ROBAR. reason why i went to ralph is he HAS EXACT MATCH HK PAINT for these. ITS BETTER THAN NEW FINISH and OJU can submerge himself w/spoon in TRI-CHLOR/ACID/SALTWATER/JET A/GASOLINE/ALCOHOL/METHYL-KETONE and the finish will not come off EVER! and its GURRANNNTEED BY RALPH FOR EVER from peeling OFF!

Do HK's still scar up the brass?

its called "STRIATIONS" or striated. yes if you do not use a BUFFER. i use my buffer as i am a BRASS RAT and scrounge brass anywhere everywhere i go.


with buffer all is good. multi flavors of buffers to choose from. hk has (2) a clip on(mine) and a welded on buffer. these buffers also avail for 93 series and 94 series HK's.

heres the springfield custom shop mcmillian/arrington super duper match.


note "clunky" 3rd generation scope mt. actually does fine for retaining "zero" when removed. buttttt as mentioned better mousey traps have arrived and its game on.

after looking some more last night i will save 11 oz. over this 3rd generation by going to sadlak aluminum mt. thats alot. and we will shave weight where possible.

[ODDJOB UNO]

i have so damn many spoons(fetish) that i can never remember a "zero" on them. thats why all are marked with the "zero" we set.

the smartest thang you can do going down this very expensive unforgiving road(sounds alot lak a 911) is to BUY THE SAME SCOPES from SAME MFG and say settle on a leupold 3.5 X 10. that way each and every spoon has same MOA (1/4"=1 click or 1/2"= 1 click) and save yerself a hell of alot of freeking headaches thinking about comeups and zeros. and to this effect using the same ammo on all of them helps alot. ie. federal match on all of my .308's. ask me how i know.

this sage advice holds true for other calibers also. why? cuz yer familiar with scope already from other spoons.


i really really tried to NOT buy a ton of different scope mfgs. over the years. mine are all leupolds/cheap ass bushnells for the kids on .22's and .30/.30's and obviously this springfield monster on the super duper match. which i really do like alot and im sad to say springfield does NOT offer them anymore. its a hell of a scope with great clarity,and has never failed me in rain sleet, or snow. plus it is ILLUMINATED like the hensoldt and early mornings and that wonderful 1/2 hour of legal hunting after the sun has gone down, the illuminated reticle is the KATZ AZZ!


spoke to phil arrington yesterday and we will be meeting for lunch next week and THE BUILD IS ON! cant wait to hit the range when this is done.

phil took my tired azz beat to snot 1944 winchester m-1 carbine in the original winchester stock and made it into a hell of a lil deer rifle. we ditched the oem wood stock(look at what an oem stock goes fer and you will poo yerself) and dumped action into a fiberglass black evil stock. phil went thru it completely and we added chrome silicon springs and did a trigger job on it. its a wonderful fast slinging deer gun for me,wifey, or small kids of legal hunting age. this also got a picitinny rail on it for my down the road evil plan of taking lightweight solar powered ZEISS REFLEX RED DOT scope and interchanging it with the SOCOM! yes the socom has a picatinny rail on front also. that way which ever i decide to use, gets the zeiss. so (1) scope for mutiple spoons. cheap effective.


phil also did the trigger job on the SOCOM and helped me with that build. one of his suggestions that im gonna jump on is to ditch the rear ghost ring site and go with a National MATCH rear peep aperature. i will leave the wide front socom sight in place, its NUKLAR anyway and glows in da dark. butt my groups should be better with this NM peep aperature and im gonna have him hand file one for me for my handfitting and try it.

[ODDJOB UNO]

(1) other note on these M1-A's. if yer gonna use the USGI bipod (heavy) ya dont have to worry about this.

if yer gonna go with a lightweight multi-spoon HARRIS BIPOD you need to add a stud at the front of f/glass stock ahead of sling mt. butt from typical rough handling in iraq/afghan, alot of these harris bipod studs pulled out of stocks due to getting hammered on in combat. sadlak came up with a "DUAL STUD" mount that takes care of this. basically you drill a second hole in f/glass stock and use a super gizzy gizz adhesive of the DEVCON genre to bed the (2) studs in along with its inletted backing plate. that way yer harris bipod doesnt pull out of forend.
harris bipod is silent on/off and weighs a hell of alot less than usgi bipod(most are chinese now). youll crap yerself at what REAL GENUINE USGI bipods go for now for these M1-A's.

mucho better mousetrap. and as anybody that has owned an M1-A or M-14.............the least amount of times you remove action from bedded stock THE BETTER! so while yer in der applies BIG TIME HERE! get "r" dunned the 1st time.

[mattdavis11]

A typical problem with the amateur is that they don't buy the proper scope mount for the weapon. Try Bassett Machine manufactured scope mounts.

It's probably not you, the round, or the barrel.
