Which is not to say that the SA or Fulton will shatter to pieces if you need it in a pinch.
Planning on purchasing an M1a/M14. Can't decide on LRB or FA, anyone with an opinion?
Sens: I own an LRB. It is a well made receiver. I have to say it is everything I expected and more. I got the standard model, non lugged and no top scope mount. They also make a model with a dovetail for a rail in it. Prepare for a long wait time! However it is well worth it. I had them build the entire rifle for me. They use mostly USGI parts on their builds, unlike new springfields. The main complaint about SAI rifles is they use cheaper, non-usgi spec parts. Particularly on parts like the bolt, op rod, they were originally designed with certain hardness specs, mag particle testing etc. You can also do any sort of customization you want through them; up to and including supplying all your own parts. Look at http://m14tfl.com if you want to get more M14 info than you'll ever need.
I thought SA was still using USGI bolts and op-rods. Mine are.

It is my understanding that they no longer do. There may be an occasional usgi part put in brand new rifles. I'm fairly sure they use commerically made op rods.
I picked up the LRB M1A yesterday. A truly awesome looking gun. Field stripped it today cleaned, inspected and reassembled. Can't wait to shoot it Monday.
Thanks for the posts.

Bought it on Gunbroker. Paid $300 over dealer cost or about $200 over LRB retail. No waiting, for me the premium was worth it.
