Got my M1A
« on: May 04, 2013, 02:10:03 AM »
Brand new M1A Scout Squad, model AA9126 with a black composite stock.
Only $1499. They quoted me $1900 when I ordered it, so I must say Targetmaster treated me well.

Thanks all! Monday is doubtful: gotta work, and geek.
I mailed in an order to Springfield for five 20-round magazines using the coupon / order form that came with the rifle, and just (5 minutes ago) ordered two more from Cheaper Than Dirt. If Springfield doesn't come through, it's good to know other sources are coming back online.

I think I'm going to be at Ommelanden tomorrow morning when they open up.

Sweet rifle OldGray!
I'm still waiting for that finger biting Garand from CMP. 70+ days. Sort of like NCC.
Hey....you don't look at all like Dilbert.....

It appears the women over your shoulder either approves or adores you.  Either way that’s pretty nice!

Great rifle.  Wish I had one.

The Springfield Armory coupon hasn't gone into the mailbox yet, so I'm interested...

OK, now, thanks to JOET, my rifle looks like it should:


(Bolt locked back, empty chamber, full 20-rd. magazine, safety on).
