I am looking at getting a Springfield M1A and wanted to get everyone's opinion on their build quality, accuracy, and durability.
I have heard some people mention that Springfield makes their M1A rifles with cast receivers instead of forged receivers and that this makes them worse. Does the difference between cast and forged receivers make any practical difference in durability over thousands of rounds? Are Springfield M1A's well made?
Additionally from any forum members who own them; has your Springfield M1A proven to be reliable over higher round count or have you run into any issues? Any feedback based on first hand experience is greatly appreciated!
