I had an early Fed Ord ser#85XX with all GI parts and wish I'd never sold it. Never a problem and its Winchester barrel was accurate as could be. Everything but the barrel was TRW.. At least a friend has it and I can still shoot it.
I just got another one, but this one was built with Chinese parts. It's marked :
U.S. RIFLE
7.62 MM M14SA
FED. ORD. INC.
EL MONTE, CA
C-007x
These receivers with a C serial number prefix were sold to Century and built with Chinese parts. It goes out next week to Warbirds Custom Guns for a USGI bolt conversion. I am also sending a Winchester barrel with it in case the GI bolt won't headspace to the ChiCom barrel. After conversion, I plan on shooting the sheet out of it.
If it doesn't have one, at the very least, I'd have a USGI bolt conversion done on it.
AIRBORNE!
