Im buying a recever

sexysete · 01-01-2008, 07:03 AM

I'm looking at several recevers on cmp and i would like to know which one i should get they are an Inland, Underwood, Winchester ,or Quality Hardware. Theres only a small price range. Its going to be a shooter. I'm looking at quality vs price. I'm not going for value. Its going into a ram line stock w/ a bipod and have a scope

Go with Inland. They are good receivers and probably least expensive. Besides, it is cheaper to get Inland parts on the off chance you decide to build it correct....

Well,
I have always gone with Winchester. They never let me down.

Buy a CMP rack grade.

All U.S. built carbines were built to the same specs. Pick the one in the best condition.

Mooseman (as Usual) is correct of course. You send in the app/money for a specific manufacturer and they send you what they pick out from that manufacturer. As far as type of receiver, I do not believe you can go wrong with any of them since they were made to the same specs and interchangeable (which is what sunray may have meant). I am not aware that one make was better functionally wise, than another. Rarity/Name recognition, seems more of a factor in pricing than anything else. (general observation from a carbine loving and learning non expert)

Also keep in mind, and take to heart, the description CMP has supplied. Even though the CMP has a tendency to under-rate items resulting in a better purchase than described...there is always the Murphy factor that may present you with an item exactly as described...pits, rust, and no rifling. You can always e-mail Nina and request a better item but it will still be the pick of the draw for the most part.
I agree with .22Guy...get a rack grade; at least you will have all the parts needed when you start to build whatever you want to build.

I don't know if they have any left But SOG had them a while back...Just the Receivers, and I need one for a Blown up Carbine...I ordered an Inland for 200.00 and when I got it it was an S'G' Marked Inland , Like brand new , in the Cosmoline...Rare, Like New...I am still grinning !

With SOG you need an FFL or to go through a dealer. That will add expense.

For any receiver, you need to go through an FFL/dealer. A C&R doesn't cut it except for complete firearms.
