2 out of 10 National Champions at Camp Perry, 1998 used Arrington Accuracy National Match Service Rifles

National Match Glass bedding - The precise National Match Glass bedding - The precise mating of the upper and lower receiver using a steel epoxy compound. The fit now is tight enough that the take-down push pins must be driven out.

National Match DCM Legal floater tube - Made from the U.S. Army’s blueprint. The 1/8" wall seamless steel tubing makes a solid foundation for the handguard and the sling swivel to be mounted to. The barrel will now float from the receiver out to the muzzle.

National Match Handguards - The handguards are clearance to fit the DCM floater tube and are then unitized to the tube.
Forend weight - I have 3# forend weights that can be installed inside the handguard to help raise the weight of the rifle. The weight is unitized into the forend so that it will not rattle or vibrate when the rifle is fired. They can be installed whole or cut down to add as much or as little weight as needed to balance the rifle.
Butt stock counterweight - The installation of a Hbar, a DCM floater tube and forend weight makes the front end of the rifle very heavy, to balance the rifle out and to make it feel the way you want it to feel, a counterweight is installed into the butt of the rifle.
The final overall weight of the rifle when finished can be near 17 1/2 pounds. In the rapid fire strings the rifle won’t even move off target. If your not careful you’ll finish the string with enough time to plot the group before the targets go down.

One of the keys to a good National Match AR type rifle is replacing that old single stage trigger with a 4 1/2-4 3/4 pound NM 2-stage trigger.

Arrington Accuracy can supply both Armalite and Bushmaster 2 stage triggers at competitive prices. By installing the trigger correctly and using a hone and stones on the sear surfaces, the trigger pull can be adjusted to break crisply at just over 4 1/2 pounds. Most of the trigger’s weight will be pulled in the 1st stage leaving only ounces to be pulled in the 2nd stage. You will never feel the 2nd stage move before the rifle goes off. $ 75.00 labor charge and RRA 2 stage triggers

.

I also build a match grade single stage trigger - Using the mil-spec trigger from your rifle I will inlay a piece of tool steel to replace the sear surface and install set screws to limit engagement and over travel.

A true National Match rear sight will fit the bore of the upper receiver perfectly within 1/2 thousandth to .001". Anything over that means you loose at 600 yards.

Call before you buy. The Bob Jones Rear Sight is a hooded rear sight with interchangeable apertures and a prescription lens. The lens are interchangeable and fitted to your eye.

You’ve heard the story about the high power shooter shooting at the 600 yd line at Capitian, New Mexico and the wind was blowing so strong that he put 21 clicks of wind on and sighted on the target next to his just to hit on his own target.

I try to keep Douglas Premium Air-Gauged Match Barrels in stock with 1in 8 twist rate 11 degree crown with hand fitted bolt in 223 cal.

Installed in your receiver. $ 595.00 complete with bolt.

Barrels are cut along the Army’s blueprint for the HBAR barrel. If you insist the muzzle can be threaded for a flash suppresser but the flash suppresser does not add to the accuracy of the rifle.
