I like the Bula Defense parts assembled by James River Armory, It's the "best" IMO... I love mine!
Being forged a forged (not cast) receiver was a big point for me. That, and I appreciated the "historical" points like the bayonet lug, and the proof marks

People whine about Springfield but I’ve had 2, still have 1, and they’ve all run pretty well.

Bula Defense is definitely good to go. I have a NM Scout rifle of theirs and it is quality.

I have a much better idea. A Garand with a laminated stock and a chrome lined barrel.
This one is a Breda in .30-06. But I also have a chrome lined Breda in .308.

I have had 4 Springfield M1A rifles over the years, still have two of them. Never have had the first malfunction or any part break. If you want something to put a scope on I would recommend something other than a M1A but if you want to shoot irons it is hard to beat. |

I'm personally happy with my route.
Polytech M14 that was out of headspace, got a USGI Bolt and then had Warbirds Custom Guns install, headspace and refinish. I now have a chrome-lined barrel and forged reciever with USGI parts on it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: All 3 of mine were these. Scored a NM model for $1100 once. Ultimate score: an all-TRW standard for $1200. Still have it. Besides, all-TRW parts based SAIs are over-rated and over-priced. TRW bolds and oprods are worth it though. So too are their barrels, but one can get more accurate barrels today. |

Get the lrb m25 receiver and build it up from there, that's what I did,easy to mount scopes.i think they are the best.
I also have a springfield Socom 16,that has been perfect. |

I understand wanting an M1A. I wanted for a very long time and was going to buy one this past march.
Then I bought a PTR 91 instead. Zero regerts. Do you want an M1A or a .308 battle rifle? |

I take it you mean an SAI receiver with all TRW parts? The all-TRW's were re-wields and confiscated by the ATF some years ago. The only remaining all TRW's are pre-86 NFA and go for about $25,000 (if you can find one). Besides, all-TRW parts based SAIs are over-rated and over-priced. TRW bolds and oprods are worth it though. So too are their barrels, but one can get more accurate barrels today. Quote HistoryQuoted:
