Shocking, I know.Wow! IfRobert says FAL!!!
Prices is California are always higher...but even for that it does seem high... I mightwaffle long enough for it to be gone
Thanks for the input gentlemen...

I had too many parts rattle loose or fall off of mine to recommend it. For the price you pay for an M1A, you can get an AR-10 that will shoot circles around the M1A in every single way...
and then as they ran out of GI parts and had to make their own which sometimes had some teething problems.
My '06 Socom still had a mix of USGI and SAI parts... I've never had a problem with mine. It is, as I mentioned, very sensitive to maintenance... you need to pay attention to it. I love my AR's... but there is nothing like running that heavy metal M1a. For that matter... you can read online about parts rattling loose and falling off AR's, too... it is what it is. As I said, the M14/M1a platform is different, and not for everyone.
Finally! Now I know why the infantry guys would come down to Qui Nhon and try to steal my M-14, because it actually worked and had more penetration than their 16s!!No problem. The M14 platform is garbage, and always has been.
AR-10 has only advantages over the M1A.

I meant that is high praise for the FAL...Shocking, I know.
That's a little steep for a standard. For a loaded that's an OK price. You can get standards for around $1100 if you wait for a sale. Try to talk them down a little. Caveat: If it's an older one with GI parts then buy it right now.I can’t remember all the names of the M1As. I know there are several. I’ve looked in the past. This is their standard, no frills, just shoot the 7.62/.308 in a semi-auto way...asking $1500.

My profile pic is me shooting my FAL. I'm a bit partial to the FAL. I've shot both and the FAL has better ergonomics than the M1A. While the M1A can be made very accurate I've never had any complaints about my FAL.I meant that is high praise for the FAL...
I need to consider that!

The M14 had the shortest service life of any US service rifle. Because it sucked.
Not for a lefty...I've shot both and the FAL has better ergonomics than the M1A..

Actually I prefer running the bolt with my right hand. The standard M14/Mini14 platform is the most lefty friendly rifle made, IMO.Probably goes double for the JRA LH M14.
