Yeah, that seems to be getting down towards the lower end on the M1A price. But then you have to figure how much a FN-FAL, H&K-91, Galil, AR-10, SR-25, Valmet M-78 are just as high if not even more so. Note when I mentioned the FAL and H&K-91, I was talking about the real ones and not the Franken-guns they are slapping together today. You might find a good deal on a used one but I would stay away from Armscorps. I had one of theirs and the screw hole for the scope mount was drilled in the wrong place so I couldn't mount either a daylight scope or my starlight scope. I traded it off for another Springfield and that is what I am going to stick with.
