#QUALITY OF LRB M14 RECEIVER PLUS#

The one-piece 4140 steel Picatinny (M1913) rail slides onto the receiverвЂ™s dovetail cuts and is secured with two cap screws, plus the rail is designed to allow use of iron sights as a backup when the scope is removed.ДЄ short scope rail is included with the receiver but LRB also offers an optional 7 1/4вЂќ long scope rail in standard and 20 MOA configuration. A poorly machined cast receiver, even with poor geometry, but with proper heat treat & proper material, is vastly stronger than the rest of the system.About 20 years ago we inspected an original USGI forged M14 receiver that had blown apart into 4 pieces on the firing line at The National Matches, Camp Perry, OH. The reason is the cost to check the hardness of the receiver and fix if needed, plus the cost of properly fitting an USGI bolt, and a competition barrel puts it in the. The lug is drilled and tapped and includes a 1/4 x 28 socket head screw and pillar bedding sleeve. People looking to build competition rifles were building on the polytech receiver, but that has been mostly stopped now that LRB is offering a high-quality forged receiver. The addition of a rear lug enhances the accuracy potential of an already superior M14 platform and is welded in position prior to heat treating to insure uniform hardness.

Not everyone may be aware but they got stuck with a mess of AR-15 receivers that were never picked up by forum members that committed to buying receivers during last years group buy. LRB Arms had what it calls вЂњthe ultimate M14 receiver choice for long range accuracy.вЂќ ItвЂ™s called the M25 and it has a rear lug that features a proprietary scope rail mounting system forged and machined right into the receiver. I was over at LRB today talking to Lou and occasionally Paul, Lou's son.
