I went to a big "Every thing must go sale" at a local gunstore today and saw a "loaded" M1A in the rifle rack. After a brisk discussion with the owner I bought it at a very good price.
I paid $1,325 for it. There was an included charge for the muzzle brake to replace the flash hider (and its installation) Similarly equipped rifles were selling for $1,499 so I was happy with the price. I will also get a supposedly great discount on accesories from Springfield.
