M1A

[Caribouriver]

Are M1A's completely off the radar? They seem to be scarcer than hen's teeth!

[Army GI]

I'm going to be selling one soon. Standard model with synth stock. PM me for details.

[radiantsplinters]

seriously, Springfield is cranking out handguns but when it comes to the M1A...

[P.Charm]

maybe because they are expensive. Only people with expensive taste buy them. it's cheaper to buy an AR 308 lower and buy in pieces than to lay down the 1500 (pre panic) for the M1A.

All bought up

nothing like a M1A. i got a very good one on the cheep. early [1983] production. hand polished receiver, USGI parts. shot less than 100 rounds.
i found my M1A from a PP. got 1,000 rounds and all his extras for 1,500. NM sights, Springfield by pod, 3 mags with covers, flash hider and muzzle brake, scope mount,bayonet and scabbard NEW keep looking. not a good time to pay retail for a new one.

mid November 2012. if it was not for the ammo i would not have bought it. now i guess that is still a good price without ammo.

Great rifle, sold out and backlogged like almost everything else.

Look for some of the Chinese made Polytechs. Much cheaper. They have a couple of small, easily fixable problem areas, but in some ways, much better than the Springfield M1As.

Most China polys I have run into at least need new barrels if someone didn't do this already.

What's a " hand polished receiver"?

[Hoop]

I have a loaded, will probably sell it for panic price then shop for a polytech/wait for things to die down and buy another.
