...URGENT MESSAGE... PLEASE BUY AMERICAN AND ONLY AMERICAN. IF ANY NEW CAR OR TRUCK PURCHASED OR LEASED IN AMERICA WAS A BIG THREE PRODUCT WE COULD GET OUT OF THIS MESS. EVEN IF YOU ARE CONVINCED THAT FOREIGN CARS ARE BETTER IT WOULD HELP OUR COUNTRY EVEN IF IT WAS A ONE TIME ENDEVOUR.

WHO CARES IF THE DOMESTIC PRODUCT IS INFERIOR AND WILL COST YOU MONEY IN THE LONG RUN? YOU OWE IT TO DETROIT AREA FACTORY WORKERS TO PROP UP THEIR INFLATED SENSES OF ENTITLEMENT BY VIRTUE OF THE FACT THAT YOU WERE BOTH BORN ON THE SAME LAND MASS.

AND THAT GOES FOR ANY PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT SAY MADE IN AMERICA.

Too bad most of our manufacturing equipment was boxed up and sent to China long ago, and that the average American is unwilling to do the job of operating those machines for anything less than the equivalent of about $50,000 a year.

I'm working on a linguistics PhD right now, and I'm considering taking summer welding classes so I don't die hungry, over-educated, and unemployed when I finish this drat dissertation.

Welcome to the humanities.

I only got my BA because I already knew how to program computers.

19114's the Northeast. It's pretty much all white trash and Russian mobsters.

Not made to strict USGI specifications. They aren't forged or forged the same way or something.

I'm curious what, if any, USGI parts they won't take.

Edit: found my answer

quote:

The Fulton Armory M14 is an excellent rifle but the receiver is not forged. It is actually manufactured by Armscorp (not Fulton) but to their specs. LRB makes the only forged receiver on the market now.

Current commercial producers of the semi-automatic M-14 type receivers are Armscorp USA, LRB Industries, LLC, Springfield Armory Inc., Fulton Armory, and Enterprise Arms. Of these, only Springfield Armory Inc. offers a lifetime warranty, and only LRB Industries offers a made in the USA hammer forged receiver that closely duplicates the drawing specifications of the original USGI M-14 receiver.

From the Fulton website:

Fulton Armory semi auto M14 receivers are cast & machined right here in Maryland, USA, by a sub-contractor with extensive service rifle manufacturing experience. Our contractor has agreed to make many changes to existing tooling as well as significant improvements in receiver dimensional geometries as specifically requested by Fulton Armory

Classic engraved number bullshit.

Those numbers look like they were lovingly carved into the metal rather than hastily stamped like pretty much every mark on every wartime milsurp rifle I've ever seen ever.

I am in a town of 4000 that is over 10% German for four months a year because they all need to make their "elk" pilgrimage.
