Check the bottom of the receiver.
No lug? Semiautomatic. Mike |

There are some civilian legal forged M14-type recievers around, but they cost a lot of money. The Springfield Field Armory M1A, a semi-auto M14 look-alike has a cast reciever. From what I understand there are no or very few true complete USGI M14s in civilian ownership. I think there is more to the cast vs forged debate, just because reciever is forged does not necessarily mean that it is a better receiver, what about the heat treatment and accurate machined and drilled holes? |

Noob reply:
true m-14 = forged reciever, select fire. civi m-14 = cast or forged, semi auto. m1a = trademarked name of springfield armoury's civi m-14, cast. ps. www.lbrarms.com makes a hammer forged m-14 reciever if you feel its worth it and have the money.. (i wish i had the money.. one day...) Edit.. i have a question of my own. if i am not making a tac driver, does a rear or double lug receiver do anything for me? |

My Fulton Armory says M14 on it.

The rear lugs and double lugs (rear and forward lugs) DO NOT improve the accuracy of the rifle. What they do provide is far greater surface area for mating the rifle action the the stock bed. This spreads out the stresses of firing and keeps the bedding in better shape for a longer period of time, so your rifle will remain consistent for longer between bedding jobs. If you are looking for a service rifle rather than a competition rifle, then the bedding and lugs are all extra weight and maintenance issues. |
