As of noon today, my M1A has a new home. A guy saw my ad on TexasGunTrader.com and wanted to know if I would make a straight up trade with him: my rifle
with the scope for his SASS AR10 without a scope. I had around $3,000 in my rifle with the scope, and he had around $3,000 in his minus the scope, so it was a wash as far as money.
More pics to follow, but here is a preliminary one:
Here is what was included:
- .308/7.62 NATO
- DPMS A4 upper and lower, upper was custom machined by Noveske to accept barrel
- 18" stainless steel Noveske heavy barrel, installed by Noveske, 1:10 twist, chamber optimized for M118LR
- Dura-Coated barrel
- YHM Phantom .308 Comp/Flash Hider
- Rock River 2 stage match trigger, honed to a nice light and crisp letoff
- Falcon Industries ERGO Tactical Deluxe Sure Grip Pistol Grip with Palm Shelf
- Magpul PRS stock
- Troy Battle Rail
- 5 PMAG 20 round mags, and 4 DPMS 20 round mags
- Pair of Weaver tactical 30mm scope rings
I think I made out like a bandit. This is exactly the kind of rifle I was trying to obtain, and I can't wait to shoot it. It has 320 rounds on the clock, and it came with his shooting log. How about 5 shot groups of commercial Hornady TAP 168gr into .5 MOA at 100 yards out of a semiauto? How about 5 shots into 4.5" at 600 yards? Those numbers are in the log.
Now I've just got to get a really good scope for it.
