[QUOTE="Chard, post: 2106859, member: 2454"] Upside to the Springfield is the outstanding warranty you will receive. Even with a used one. Having own a LRB, If I blindfolded you, and gave you a Springfield, you could not tell the difference shooting. Mine was and all H&R parts with a Criterion chrome line barrel. Shot well but not any better than the three Springfields I have owned. Presently own just one and it is totally rack grade Springfield of 1991 manufactuer. It is USGI (TRW and SAK) as you can get one and does shoot well. Springfield guns with USGI parts are luck of the draw. Some will be new parts and others will be used parts that are within spec. As parts dried up over the years, the more used parts were used on the new rifles. For years Bruce Machine in Taiwan made parts for Springfield and I believe they still do. They have a lot of experience making parts for the M1a. The Taiwanese military used a version of the M14 rifle that they built for years on hand me down H&R equipment that was provided by the ole USA. [/QUOTE]
