The Chicom receivers are among the best on the market, due to the fact that they're forged and not cast, but the rest of the rifle leaves a great deal to be desired. If I were you, I'd save my pennies and send it in to Fulton Armory to have it completely rebuilt. Then you'll have an M-14 that will be the envy of every gunny in your town.

Years ago, I saw a Chicom M-14 for sale for $600 and I still kick myself for not buying it.
