Could this possibly mean the M1A in 6.5 Creedmoor is not banned too

Jimbob2.0 · Mar 10, 2018

Because its Creedmore, that's a nice rifle but i can think of better used for that much coin? Or because its "Springfield" which I believe is specifically numerated in legislation.

For that much money, I'll pass!

dreadpirate · Mar 10, 2018

A lot of money, but I bet it's really well built. If you can afford it, then why not?

I have one of their M14's bought before the ban and they are very well built, mine is just service grade and it is very accurate and reliable. Considering the quality of the parts and features included with the M65 the price is not that bad, glad to see Fulton going to the trouble to give shooters stuck in MD a M14 pattern rifle. Been thinking of a Creedmore and this one jumps to the top of the list.

How many AR10 style rifles in 6.5 Creedmoor could you buy for $3400.00 ? For what Fulton wants, it should have a lugged receiver, Kreiger barrel and McMillan stock in addition to the NM parts already listed.

Even though I own 2 I don't really care for AR rifles, I've always liked the M1 Garand and M14, really don't care if an AR is better or not, would rather put the money into a rifle I enjoy looking at and shooting. Nothing beats good steel and walnut

Augie... I agree about shooting rifles with that "look"... but at $3400+ ...that's 3 or 4 Garands from CMP depending upon which configuration.

Just ordered one

I like old school too but, what exactly makes this legal and why wouldn't the XM21 Bula 6.5 Creedmoor version be legal also? BTW, Bula's XM21 6.5 Creedmoor barreled action is under $1,000 and I'm pretty sure it could be completely built for another grand.

Are u sure? Because last year, I talked to one of their staffs, he said he can't not sell to Marylander. I hope he is wrong

Fulton just announced the other day that they got this approved by the MD State police, see first post by Altima.

Congrats, I don't know if you shoot at AGC but if you do I would like to take a look at your rifle when you get it if you don't mind. I have Fultons M14 and it is a very well built rifle.

I've had as many as 14 Garands, down to 5 now and thats enough. A M14 in 6.5 Creedmore would be a nice addition to the shooting stable and this M65 looks like it could be a real shooter and is already set up for scope use.
The M14 platform has always been an expensive platform if you buy rifles other than Springfield, look at what an LRB sells for or just some of the parts such as a quality scope mount, the package price for Fultons M65 is in line with other custom M14 manufacturers. Fulton wheather you like them or hate them has a lot of experience building high quality M14's and I give them credit for going to the trouble to get a rifle approved for us stuck in Marylandastan.

lkenefic · Mar 11, 2018

Don't get me wrong... they're incredible rifles. I had a Springfield for a while... standard with an upgraded gas system and NM trigger. Had I kept ot, I probably would have gone with a Douglas or Kreiger barrel... etc... the gun would definitely shoot, I'm sure the Fulton gun would shoot into 1MOA right out the gate... maybe half that. Where I am right now is that I couldn't justify that price tag on a range toy.. to each their own...

No problem, I am a member and only live about 10 minutes from the range. :thumbsup:

Picked her up yesterday, quite pleased

dist1646 · Apr 17, 2018

Nice looking rifle! Based on what I see from looking at the pic, I don't see any reason why other manufacturers couldn't "bring it" to Maryland.

lazarus · Apr 17, 2018

Looks nice and I know they build some nice stuff, but unless or until I can an “M14/M1a” Maryland acceptable rifle for more like $1,000-1,400 I’ll likely continue to not own one for a very long time.
