M14 Receiver?

I just finished building one yesterday with a Armscorp receiver I purchased some time ago, will shoot it tomorrow for the first time if the wind cooperates. Armscorp are not perfect but it wasn't bad, only had to do a little stoning in two places and ream the hole for the follower rod catch for proper fit of the parts. Barrel is 6 groove 1 in 10 mid weight match from the CMP, stock is from Fred's, bolt is Springfield Inc., Oprod and gas cylinder are Smith Ent. (SEI) new offerings. Most of the parts I bartered/traded for so I don't have a lot in it. My flash hider is Calif. legal type (I don't live in Calif) so still looking for a GI flash hider but this will do for now. At last minute found my metric elevation knob is cracked, always something, will use a M1 knob for now.

Sounds like a nice build Ivan! Let us know how it goes at the range...

I recommend the LRB. I built my rifle on the M25 receiver.

M2HB...have you had any problem with case ejection with the scope mount in place?

I haven't had any problems with it at all. But, then, I haven't shot it either.:rofl:
I'll get around to it one of these days. I have spoke to many people who have them and I haven't heard of any problems.
The real issue is the cost to build them with USGI parts.

Armscor makes recievers, not Armscorp of Maryland.
Fulton Armory sells receivers that one of their employees told me are Armscor manufacture. I have purchased two and they are very good quality. Absolutely no problems with assembling a rifle or funciton of the rifles.

Thanks M2HB. I can relate to having toys you haven't shot. I've got an Armscorp rec. with excellent TRW parts in the back of the safe I haven't shot. (My shooter gun has H&R parts.) If I had lots of $ I'd have the TRW parts stripped off and put on a LRB. Kind of the "best" as issued I could get...yea I know "Parts is Parts".

I've got some extra parts I've thought about putting together a M25, but wondered about the case issue.

Wish OB would send me some $ so I could spread it around.

Isn't someone else making the Armscorp receivers now? I got caught in the MKS mess too.

No they are currently out of business. I am not sure if Fulton has any receivers left. They were made by Armscor to their specs.

Ok,
Let me see if I've got this story straight. The first Fulton Armory Receivers were of course made by Armscorp USA of Baltimore, MD. Now, the new ones I saw last year at the National Matches after Armscorp USA disappeared are really made by "Armscor" in the Phillipines? :rolleyes:
