Thanks GS. I've always wanted a M1A but nowadays they want an arm and a leg for them. Should've bought one way back when they were cheap at the Army/Navy surplus stores.
I bought a Springfield National Match M1A around 96 or 97 and it was pricey then. I think I paid about $1300. They are about $2k now.
I have an m14 and an M1 but not a M1 carbine.
I’ve shot the carbines a lot though. Trying to hold a 3” pattern at 100 yards is considered being an expert. Most people have trouble breaking paper with all 15 shots.
