THIS IS MY RIFLE. THERE ARE MANY LIKE IT BUT THIS ONE IS MINE.
And now it can be yours.
I bought this rifle new in 2010 as a college graduation gift to myself. I’ve enjoyed running it out as far as 1000 yards over the years but these days I just don’t really use it. It pains me to let it go but it’ll help me get into a nice sporting shotgun, which has become my new hobby.
Springfield M1A standard. Walnut stock. Overall very very good condition and has been lovingly maintained. Works great. Serial and sight markings filled with white crayon so you can easily remove it if that’s not your style. The rifle is mostly stock but has a few small upgrades added:
GI sling
Sadlak guide rod and spring
Springfield flash hider with bayonet lug.
USGI ejector and spring
USGI cleaning kit in the stock.
Package includes:
- all factory parts (guide rod, springs, ejector, flash hider blah blah blah)
- operation/service manual
- Sadlak aluminum scope mount with all hardware, instructions, and test fit kit. This is the best mount you can get for an M1a and served me well at 800-1000 yards. These are about $250 when they are actually available. The mount has a dinged area from brass hitting it.
- Factory Springfield 10rd mag, and a total of 10 CMI (the good stuff) 20rd mags.
- castle nut wrench
- spare castle nut.
Located in Reno. Priced at $1450 for the package, which would be well over $2200 before tax if you were to source everything new today.
Standard rules apply.
Edited to add: I also have a Smith enterprises threaded adapter in the event you wanted to put a suppressor on it. That’s another $100 value that I’ll toss in with the package.

800 yard shot with M1A
Shooting 800 yards with my M1A. Listen closely and you can hear it hit the steel.

M1A 600 yard shot.
My first time shooting 600 yards with my Springfield standard M1A. Listen carefully for the 'ping'. Youtube kind of butchered the audio
