Can anyone tell me which M1As feature regular receivers, lugged receivers, and double lugged receivers?
Specifically if you bought an M1A "Loaded" from Springfield today would the receiver have no lugs? I even looked on their site, but i was unable to find this info. i assume no lugs, but this is a question I would like to know for the future (for all M1As). |

The action of closing the triggerguard provides the tension for holding the action. Lugged receiver - same as a standard receiver but also has an added metal pillar added to the front of the receiver. The pillar is threaded for a screw to provide additional clamping tension to retain the action in the stock. Double lugged receiver - Same as the front lugged, but adds an additional metal pillar to the rear of the receiver (so now you have front & rear lugs) and it is also threaded to hold a tension screw. This type receiver has the ability to dial in an even amount of receiver tension to hold the action in the stock. There are gunsmiths out there that can add the lugs to your receiver and perform the work of fitting it all together, but it aint cheap 
I will try and find pictures of the lugged receivers.............Check the LRB site here http://www.lrbarms.com/m14receivers.html |
