Hey all,
I am looking into investing in an M-14 pattern rifle. I have had the opportunity to fire at friend's SOCOM, essentially an M14 pattern rifle made by springfield with a 16 inch barrel. I was very impressed.
I was considering purchasing the Springfield rifle except after some internet searching I have found that there have been a number of issues with parts not being up to US GI specifications. I then heard about fulton armory, perused their sight, but noticed that their prices are high and I couldnt find a 16 inch model similar to the SOCOM.
Anyone have any information on this? Id really like a M14 pattern rifle but I dont want to worry about parts breakages, especially as I am paying a premium price anyway. Please let me know your opinions on this
