I'm giving serious consideration to buying a sorta dream rifle of mine.

I have had a years long hankering for an M1a/M14 & I'd really like to see what, if anything, is out there & current values/prices.

I guess this is a bit of a fishing thread....

My only must-have is that it's got to be a wooden stock. I know there are different models available, in different configurations & barrel lengths, but as long as it has a proper stock, I'm probably ok with it. 

I do have to move a few things before i buy (unless it's an honest to god bargain) so there's no guaranteed sale here, unless you're open to trade. 

If you have something that fits the bill, please let me know! 

Thanks. 

EDIT: OK, I've raised the funds (very productive morning at the gunshow!) & I'm now ACTIVELY looking for a Scout Squad. Preference is still a wood stock though...

⚠️ Safety Reminder for Buyers and Sellers ⚠️

This is an automatic reply meant to protect you as a buyer and a seller on TGO.

  • Use the Buyer/Seller Feedback feature to research who you are dealing with.   Please come back and leave feedback for each other after the transaction is complete.  Your experience will help others.
     
  • Never agree to use an electronic form of payment to buy or sell a gun!  None of the electronic payment services will protect you against fraud in a firearms transaction.  They all have terms of service FORBIDDING the use of their services to buy/sell guns.  DON'T DO IT.
     
  • Be very wary of anyone who insists on brokering a deal in private or outside of TGO.  Scammers almost always prefer to operate out of the public eye.

I think by now it should be well known that I love the M1A. I have 4 of them. 😃

Unless you want to go with a very expensive custom build, right now I think Springfield Armory is the only current maker. In years past, I know that Norinco and Federal Ordnance made them. But those have been unavailable  for a long time are getting very hard to find.  But if you look long enough, you might find one. However, it won't be much cheaper than a SA. 

If you go with SA, I highly suggest the Scout/Squad model with the 18" barrel. I find this to be the perfect compromise between barrel length and good handling.   if you're interested in long range (200 yards +) spend the extra bucks on a National Match model.
