Our Assessment: This is a nice Springfield Armory M1A that looks like it saw much more time in the previous owner’s safe than at the range. The M1A has been a popular rifle with target and competition shooters for decades, tracing its roots back to the M14 rifle used by US troops from 1959 to this very day, though in more limited roles than in the ’50s. This M1A is equipped with an M14 stock that features the selector switch cut on the right side. This would be a great rifle for competition or recreational target shooting. This M1A is in Fine condition and should make its new owner smile every time they take it out to the range. Please see our photos and good luck!
