This past weekend at the Eastman Gun show in Gwinett County, GA, I purchased a (new) "Loaded" Springfield Armoury M1A with black fiberglass stock and carbon-steel barrel for $1180, including tax. What a beauty! I think I got a great deal, too. I can't wait go get it on the range. Thanks for all of your comments (especially about the M1A's).
