LRB makes a rear lugged receiver, not a double lugged one. SEI also does excellent builds but I don't know if they are taking on new builds at this time. While I have not had to deal with LRB directly I've heard good things about them, and Ted Brown (who built my M25) is a very good guy who is easy to get a hold of and work with. If they ship you a rifle with a problem, they will take care of it promtply.
SA certainly has excellent customer service and a proven track record of service. The M25 receiver just plain works with no fuss, looks good, and is a very stout piece. Everything is integral, no adjusting a mount, no hoping the side of your receiver was cast & machined properly for a good mount fit, etc. I've messed with scope mounts (ARMS and SEI) and while they do work the LRB M25 is the way to go IMO for scoping an M1A. There are also the forged Smith Enterprise receivers out there that are pretty hard to come by (and don't have an integral scope mount.) while a civvy user will probably never wear out or break a properly made investment cast receiver (Fulton, SA, etc.) a hammer forged receiver is stronger. forged debate that plays out over and over on all the M1A forums. While the Fulton is a perfectly acceptable piece (fit & finish is good, functions flawlessly) the finish & machining quality on the LRB receiver is excellent and better than the Fulton. LRB receivers are of superb quality, I have both an LRB M25 built by Ted Brown with all TRW parts I gathered up and I also have Fulton Peerless that was my first M1A. I started with a M1A with NM open sights and after playing with scope mounts I decided I'd much rather build a second M1A that was a dedicated scoped rifle.
