LRB is nice, but for my money a Fulton receiver plus an extra $400 in my pocket for barreling and smithing will win every time. If improperly manufactured forged receivers can fail too.
Being forged is no magic bullet to guarantee strength. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a cast receiver M14. However I don't like the stock options! How hard is it to get a nice walnut stock with adjustable comb? I just am not going to strap a bag on a new gun stock! I think we will both be happy we spent the money. This is one of those guns I planned to buy 10-15 years from now but its now or never. Just not interested in a big bulky rifle, even if I did get that SS barrel. I was really thinking about the rear lug but I don't want an oversized stock either. I will take the rail off and run as a M14 until I have the spare cash to build it into a nice scoped rifle. I plan to just get one of those CMP parts kit or equivalent since they don't have anymore.
Also I am fairly well able to do most gunsmithing work myself. Yeah its a bit more up from buy it gets my receiver cost down like 23%. It reduces the price of the receiver way down! I was going to buy a nice barrel and bolt and have them installed anyway. Maybe I would be better off with an AR10 but thats not banned!Īctually I ordered the barreled action. I am not one to double up guns and I have a FAL and PTR for shooting Iron Sights. The M25 really seems to be the version to scope, so I went for it. However I really wanted to put a scope on this. I usually go for the stock Mil Spec type guns too. Thought about the M25 but I'll mostly shoot this with just irons. I don't want an over sized stock and I don't need it to be super accurate. Forged and cast will both last a long time but forged should last generations. Knowing that it's a pretty accurate replica will put a smile on my face long after the money is spent.

SAI - I am not really sure where you get an SAI receiver these days, I don't believe Champions Choice sells them anymore. You also have several receiver choices so check those.

Happy to keep the discussion going here or feel free to send me an e-mail and I will answer anything I can. Call Mike at Windy City when the holiday is over and see what he has. You will probably pay a bit more buying piecemeal but you can ensure you get what you want with each part (e.g. Actually, again for the SoCom you can't use a GI flash hider (with a bayonet lug) if you want to be able to take out the gas plug w/o removing the FH.Ĭomplete kits are harder to come by but possible. I have bought from him and the stuff is excellent.
Trigger group you are going to need the M14 housing but can use late Garand internals.Ĭheck on M14TFL, they are going fast but a real good guy 'forceman' is selling flash hiders, gas systems and op-rods. You can use a Garand rear site if you want to save some $$. The standard one you get with a GI FH may not be tall enough. SoCom, you are going to have to get the correct height front site (Fulton I would think has them). Make sure you get someone who knows what they are doing. The barrel may have to be reamed so don't take chances with that. Then the builder could ensure fit correct headspace for the bolt/barrel. Who are you going to get to put on the barrel? If you are going to have that done, you should consider the JRA bolt option I have one in one of my rifles and they are good quality. Bolts are the most expensive part of the plan (other than the receiver) and sorry but I have no spares (hoarding the GI ones that I have)
