Springfield Armory Cruddy Workmanship

[Richard H Brown Jr]

Dear FFolkes:

Another bitch about the lousy job Springfield Armory does on their M1a's.

The Cartridge Clip Guide is flush on theright side, but shorter on the left side where it goes into the dovetail on the receiver by what it seems to me to be about 1/32in or so.

What with the over sized walnut stock and the odd butt plate alignment on the stock, if you're trying to decide on getting a M14 clone, try the other makers.


Just saying.

A+ on that.

[Phil McGrath]

Why or what was the reason you bought it again?

[StockDoc]

Buy it online or in person?

Blame their QC of imports. Springfield hasn't made a receiver in years.
