Oh man... I just bought two M1A Loadeds within the past month and a half — one for me, and a second one for my son for Christmas. I wish I had known you were going to sell this. I might have bought it for my son...
To whoever buys this, you'll never see another one at this price.

FYI, I saw this listed as sold on another forum. Looks like this one is gone.

I'm surprised that it lasted this long. That was a great price!

Classic lines, good accuracy, semi-automatic, historically important (in its standard configurations), 7.62x51mm NATO/.308 Winchester, based on the venerable M14 select fire battle rifle. The variant for sale here allows the mounting of a forward positioned scope as in a scout rifle.Beiruty wrote:What so special about thus rifle?
SOCOM 16" M1A like the one for sale here, shown with forward mounted optic:

Standard M1A with scope mounted (like mine):

The primary differences between the two are the barrel length, which is shortened from 22" to 16" on the SOCOM model, and the incorporation of a Picatinny rail mounted forward of the action.
The M14s are among the last of the battle rifles designed with wood stocks, although many M1A variants now have synthetic stocks, as does mine.
M1As are the natural descendants of the M1 Garand of WW2 fame, and they are still used today in 1,000 rifle competition; and M14s remain in selective use in the military in a variety of specialized roles.

Its tough as nails, accurate as it needs to be, will punch holes through cinder blocks and still reach out and touch the target. It is BLACK too! Really though...it is the shortest hardest hitting battle rifle on the market with a proven track record dating way back. And I WANT one!Beiruty wrote:What so special about thus rifle?

The M1A is just a classy-looking rifle, period. I hate to admit it, but I would buy it on looks alone. Kinda like my next wife.
