If you don't mind a non-USGI style of stock. If you don't mind a headspace closer to 1.635 rather than 1.631 or 1.632.

Springfields are "okay" if you want a rifle that looks like an M14. That's because Fulton, Smith Enterprises and the host of other small-shop manufacturers or smiths out there don't build M1A's. Except for the lug, the LRB receiver has the same sidewalls, and looks very GI.įulton's a rip off. He is also importing other parts for the M14 type rifle.Ī gentleman I know ordered a rear lug LRB receiver and I was able to take a few photos of it. Apparently Lou has a dimensionally consistent receiver. If you don't know, Government drawings contain a lot of inconsistancies, you have to figure out that stuff out, for the parts to fit. Lou started from the original GI drawings. Instead owners are vocally very happy about LRB receivers and rifles. From those who have built up rifles around them, I have not heard a negative word. The receivers I examined showed excellent machining and surface finish. I met Lou B at Camp Perry, he is a mild mannered gentleman who should be thanked for bringing back a forged M14 type receiver.
