Hello all!

BLUF, who makes the more accurate, durable, and reliable M14 semi-auto copy? Fulton Armory or Springfield Armory?

-E.B.

Probably depends when said rifles were made. Of course we are talking the Super Match models for utmost accuracy. Also depends on the ammo. Lots of variables. I have a SM SA that I bought in 86 brand new with a Douglas barrel. The older ones had a lot of GI parts that are no longer available. The M14/M1A is inherently accurate. I was in Basic Training in 67 at Fort Polk, LA. We trained with the M14. Those rifles were taken apart and cleaned thousands of times from one training cycle to another and would still knock down a siliwette target at 300 meters. Shop around and buy a pre-ban M1A and you will be happy.

Bula is probably the best value, or at least was. I have a Bula barreled received I assembled with mostly Bula parts and I really enjoy it.

I also have an SAI M1A standard I picked up for $1300 new. It’s also a very nice rifle. SAI has excellent customer service as well.
