They did my chicom M14s. They did a very good job and I am VERY VERY happy with the work. I will say they are not cheap in any way! But I felt I got my money worth. Ran and still runs flawlessly!

I just like their handguards. They charge too much compared to where you can just get it for less somewhere else. Their always fast in shipping though and pack well and I'll keep buying their handguards because they are so good. Best is opinion of course, but in my opinion their high temp polymer handguard is the best around for a plain old traditional style handguard. That's all I'll buy from them though.

Prices on a lot of their items seem a bit high (ie-their M14 mags).  Still, they've got some good deals on spare parts.  I've bought from them before, and probably will again.

I don't think Fulton actually makes anything, but they sure plaster their name all over items they sell.
I prefer to buy direct from the original manufacturer whenever possible.

Shop around for parts and services.

Then who makes their M14 hand guards? Like the post above they are nice and the best I have seen.

Who makes their barrels?

I believe they Armsco (or something like that) makes their receivers but that is all I know.

Of course they don't make the USGI stuff

I would also like to add that every thing I have seen form them has been top notch. I have never seen or heard of any junk coming form Fulton.

I will say that the owner does seem to be on the A hole side of the personality but it could be a east coast thing also.

They transformed an M1A I have into a MK14 with the Sage stock etc. 3+ years ago have had no problems or complaints. Bought some items for my M1C from them also.

I'll buy parts there if I can't find them elsewhere.  They're expensive and wait times for rifles/labor is measured in months (and often years).

Customer service is top notch.

'smithing is first rate.

Components are first rate.

Turn around times are long, as any quality shop is always back-logged.

Clint is a prick...

...but so am I...

...go figure...

I guess.  My M1/M14 plumber gets work returned inside of two weeks.  He won't accept a job if he doesn't have the time to get right on it.

Same with my M14s... Only a 2 week turn around... Shocked the hell out of me because I thought I had more time to save up them beer cans... Needless to say I used my credit card.

Actually I agree with H2O_Man in part. I don't think Fulton makes much of anything.
One thing I hate about them is how they represent other manufacturer's parts as their own from Smith GLFS's to AmegaRanges handguard mounts.

People buy them too thinking it's a Fulton made product and pay more for it when they could of got it for less from the real manufacturer or a better priced dealer.
I've always wondered about the Fulton handguard as Armscorp listed/lists a high temp polymer handguard too, but I never heard anyone getting one straight from Armscorp, so I just decided to stick to getting it from Fulton.
We know Armscorp made Fultons receivers though, so it's reasonable to think they got more than just receivers from them.

Armscorp

I don't think many people doubt the quality of rifle Fulton can put out as there are lots of people heard from very happy with their worksmanship and I know the few I've seen were very nice. That still doesn't change their other business practices though.
