so i have a soft spot for the m1a, we have history. for those that know i have ar10's, i shoot plenty of scars... but the m1a and I have history so i've been building this one. I think i'm in love. the T1 i just had laying around and its allowed me to do some carbine drills with the gun, eventually the gun will probably end up with a vortex 1-6 on it with a RMR.

Ergos are great, runs like a champ. This is a full smith enterprises build by the way so all GI parts on a springer reciever

Sounds like retail, so not a deal but not the 3k+ dollars people on gunbroker are spending either.

I saw a loaded model go for 2450 new in the box (usually 1500-1700)...people are losing their minds. Makes me think it's a good time to put my loaded up for sale and then take that money and buy a GAP 10. Talk about a huge upgrade.

That's how I'd have mine setup if I didn't live where I live. I actually tried the Smith front sight/gas block on a Scout but I like the NM sights so much better. Oh and the neutered version of that FH (is solid brake w/holes in flutes where slots would be) is SO LOUD I got the stinkeye from the .22 plinkers at the range.
