Springfield vs. Polytech

[bryjcom]

Go over to m14tfl.com. Do some searching and you will find broken oprods, barrel indexing issues, broken reciever, bolt roller impacts problems and lots of malfunctions and problems with springer m1as. I even heard a report about a barrel specing out at .311 on another site

The fit of the bolt on this rifle I held the other day was horrible. My friend has a m1a super match and it is a fine rifle with sub moa groups but I have personally inspected and shot this rifle and it happens to have the "bolt roller impact" problem on the reciever.

Springfield armory has built some good rifles and they have their periods of greatness but as of lately I have been hearing alot more reports on their poor quality control

Again my choice would be LRB arms

Hey! your just jealous of my SM M1A. No seriously, It does have the bolt roller impact recall. Just waiting for winter to send it in to be fixed. It is true some of the newer M1A actions are a little on the rough side, Maybe it will get better with use, and lots of grease. But my M1A is not your standard everyday rifle. It was hand assembled and fitted by one person. Alot of attention was given to this particular rifle. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Springer. I would just inspect it a little more before purchase. Pick the best one.
