Our Assessment: This Springfield M1A looks great and has a strong bore that shines. 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 would be a great rifle for hunting, competition or recreational target shooting. This M1A is in Very Good-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!
