M1a
Does the M1A only come in 7.62 Nato rounds...and from a previous posting I am to assume its the 7.62-54 round?

SOCOM 16 unfired like new $1700.00 is this a fair price? 0 -
Depending on where you get it from you could pay anywhere from $750.00-$1,000.00 new and $500.00-$800.00 used.I have a M1A Bush Rifle that I payed $650.00 for and it is as accurate as I would ever need.I traded in a Remington 710 30/06 so that brought the price down to $650.00 but the whole cash price was $1100.00 but not a bad price for such a good rifle.Go with the short barrel Bush or Scout rifle.I prefer wood stocks on my rifles but either is fine Fiberglass does take off some weight but Id say go with the Walnut to start then if you want fiberglass buy one later and swap them out then you will have both.

Price... should be between $990-1075 new. A "loaded" model will run an extra $250-$275 or so and include NM barrel and sights.
A note on the sythetic stock option: personally, I buy to shoot. Although I love fine woodwork, if I want woodwork for display I will buy a piano. Having noted that biased perspective, the synthetic stock has great utility. It may not be pretty but there is no need to baby it to avoid the 1/16" handling ding in the stock. Just use it. Another plus, synthetics are cheaper to purchase. Compare the same M1A rifle, wood vs synthetic.
Good luck and enjoy,0 -
In my area, the west coast, a standard M1A is about $1100.00,new. They can be had with either a walnut or synthetic stock. I have M1A's with both stocks, but prefer the walnut for overall nice looks.
The synthetic is not bothered by humidity like the wood stocks are, and are more durable when banging about in the brush with your rifle.
You cannot go wrong with Springfield Armory M1A's. They sometimes run specials where you get a couple hundred bucks worth of accessories when you buy a new gun.
Happy shootin -Joe-0 -
As I last understood this if you are going to use a M1A in NRA authorized service rifle competition you need to have the wood stock. I have the fiberglass and its a tack driver. 0 -
I agree having both stocks is a good idea, you can find surplus GI M14 stocks at www.cdnninvestments.com for $19.95 complete with metal and buttplate ...
