Springfield M1A

This is a new-production civilian version of the famed M14 service rifle. This particular M1A is one of Springfield's "loaded" versions -- NM stainless barrel, NM front sites, NM trigger job, etc. I replaced the original plastic/fiberglass handguard with a walnut version from Fulton Armory. (Sadly, the rear edge of the handguard cracked while attempting to install the handguard clip. Lesson learned the hard way.) I completely refinished the stock (that original Springfield stain job was pretty poor) and hanguard with several liberal coats of Behr's #600 tung oil finish. This is definitely a great looking rifle! I recently added a Harris bipod, ARMS 18 scope mount, Burris rings, and a BSA 6-24x50mm target scope. The use of this scope won't permit the use of the walnut handguard, so I'm currently using the fiberglass guard from Fulton Armory. This rifle is defintely going to ruin many a gopher's day. :) Caliber 7.62x51 NATO.
