I bought an M1A and a M21 receiver from Fulton Armory yesterday. Anyone out there willing to do two builds?
Contact Charlie Maloney, he is in Catonsville.
Getting quality work done on an M14 is only going to get harder as the old timers that really know these rifles retire and move on.

According to Charlie's website he is just about retired, and will only do M14 work while the customer waits. Building an M14 isn't typically a while you wait type of process.
If Charlie can't do the work, I'd recommend Gus Fisher down around Richmond. Gus built competition M14s for the Marine Corps, so it doesn't get any better than him. Those are the only local folks I'd recommend.
If you decide to ship the rifle off your options open up some. Ted Brown is excellent, and one I have personal experience with. Phil Arrington of Arrington Accuracy is another I'd recommend, and have used for work. I hear Warbird's Custom Guns in Texas also does nice work. Derrick Martin of Accuracy Speaks did some great work for me, but last I heard he was out of the smithing business and had turned it over to someone else.
