Looked at one a few years back. Is your stock wood or plastic? Looks like wood from the picture. The one I looked at had this horrible looking plastic stock.

Very nice. So polytech and norinco are both legal still correct?

Frankly, I'd rather have a forged receiver than a cast receiver anyways, but not at USA forged prices. Convert to GI barrel and bolt and I think his is a better gun than the Springfield.

It must get awfully tiring correcting everyone on the Ar-15 trademark as well.
You mean AR-15.

Not tired yet?
I'm not correcting the horrible spelling and grammar errors here, so no.

Missed something. The M1A is banned in Merryland...what makes this one legal?

It's not an M1A and doesn't interchange certain critical parts with an M1A.
MSP ruled that they're legal since it's the M1A that's specifically banned.

So if I also bought a US made m1a and switched out the gas system so that it was metric, would that also be a legal MD configuration?
I would imagine it would be by the criteria these idiots use. Someone ought to just build the guns on Springfield receivers, re-thread everything metric and sell them.
I'd assume no, because the receiver is an M1A, which is banned by name. What he has there is an M-14s which is not banned by name and because certain critical parts are not interchangeable it is not a copycat.

M1A only made in the US
And it's cheaper to get a Chinese M-14 knockoff and have the receiver case hardened than to do what you are proposing.

It's my gun and the receiver is interchangeable with a cast Springfield. The gas system uses a different these pitch, but this could be swapped as well. Can take a USGI barrel and bolt.
