I dunno who to go for. Springfield M1A's or the Fulton Armory M14. I've heard of people having to send back their Springfields numerous times to be fixed and for me to do that in Canada would be a real pain in the arse. I haven't heard much about Fultons M14s.

Which is the better manufacturer?

Sixgun, I'm sure you can rest easy with the Springfield M1-A1. For many years I competed in high power matches using this rifle. I have two national match and 1 super match. In shooting thousands of rounds the only malfunction was a broken firing pin and this is easly replaced at home. Keep them clean and lubricated and you have a rifle that will last a lifetime.

Fultons are top notch no doubt. I see thier AR's and garands shoot. And they are excellent. I can't imagine the M14 being any different.
