James river armory M14 early with 762mm firearms receiver help, gunsmith

The company James River Armory won't fix it? Make it right or replace it? Others don't seem to want to work on it. Then you have the option of buying a new receiver and replacing the one that came on the rifle. I would take out a full page ad in one of the gun magazines stating what your problem was with their product and what their help was.....alluding to what kind of a piece of crap it is. JMHO

I was gonna ask, have you written up your case and sent it to 7.62? I looked at their current web site and there's an e-mail address at the top and somebody using that name is still advertising M14 clone receivers. I looked also for info about the bankruptcy case status of the company or the part of the company that was claiming financial problems a while back, but no luck there. Good luck to you in getting some satisfaction, meaning a receiver that meets critical specs. A really skilled machinist with a complete shop MIGHT be able to clean up the receiver you have, but who's going to heat-treat it again and re-park it and put your rifle back together right? Diminishing returns raises its ugly head.

7.62 has proven to be a crap company, and you'll have nothing but problems dealing with them. now did you buy it complete from james river? if so, contact them and have them fix it. if they built it for you, they should have found the problems during the build or testing, again contact them and see what they say.

Give James River a call. They are good people and I would rely on their suggestions on how to make your rifle workable. They are making their own receivers now. I have used a bunch of JRA receivers for builds over the last 9 months and they are good to go.

I would have to agree, that James River should be the one to return it to for repair. I have nothing but good things to say about them. Maybe you could finagle and exchange for a Rockola Receiver. With Firearm liability being what it is.

Rock-Ola M21 040 with Bula Forge NM barrel and bolt. USGI fiberglass stock and a Leupold VXIII 8.5 - 25 glass. Just popped the scope on and gave her a run with 168 gr handloads in DAG brass at 100yds. Not to shabby of a portable bench. First group is 8rnds, then I got carried away.
