Depends on condition but if very nice $1700-2000 to someone who really wants a early Divine. Best to put it on Gunbroker or M14 Forum sales page and get full potential value than instead of 60-70% on trade in.

"Regular" all-USGI M1As are running $1700-2000. A Devine M1A would probably fetch over $2000 easily. As to exactly how much more, I can't say with any degree of certainty, but I would personally pay $2000 for one in a heartbeat if I was in the market. |

I'm thinking of trading it to a dealer for a couple of nice pistols, but need a ball park figure of its value. Any help would be appreciated. DO NOT TRADE IT TO A DEALER! You WILL get lowballed. Sell it online to a collector that will appreciate its value and give you a fair price. Try the EE here or post it up on the M14Forum's PX. |

A dealer will rape you, then he'll laugh about it to his friends over drinks while you are crying in your pillow. Put that gun on the market and get a decent value. You don't have to go out there and put it up for 2 gagillion bucks just because it's a Devine...but start at a selling price at let the market decide. Your wallet and your asshole will thank you. |

Devine M1A's are pretty desirable. Do not trade it to a dealer. GunBroker it with a reserve of about $2k

Even in '08 when I first started looking for an M1A, Devine M1A's were going for right at or just over $2k. I'd say now they'd bring $2200+ depending on the buyer.

Devines are highly desirable, and the truth is you just don't see them for sale all that often. The last time i even saw one was 3-4 years ago. So you have to take that into account. Dependant on condition i would start it at $2.5k, and if in immaculate condition about $400 or even more. Its a collectors piece now..

I agree with the others. DO NOT TRADE IT TO A DEALER. Put it on gunbroker if you must sell it. My M1A is a mid 90's. I too don't see iron sights well, so I sold it to a friend. He lost his job a couple of years later. I promptly bought it back from him. It has had around 1000 rounds through it. When I got it back, he had put a Smith Enterprises mount on it, and a Shepperd scope. That scope made all the difference in the world for me. Just my .02.
Thanks, Mark |

Check this early Devine.
Devine M1A I had one a long time ago and had to let it go due to financial problems. Very nice shooting gun. |

Need to find out if it was a gun assembled by Elmer Balance or if it was sold as a stripped receiver. I picked one up thinking I hit the jackpot by research showed it was sold as a stripped receiver. Stil had an all TRW gun though.

I checked with them some years ago and found out that the two four digit serial numbered receivers I had were sold by them as a bare receiver and a barreled receiver and the dates of sale. |

I got this from a collector years ago and always assumed it was a USGI barrel. All the parts are GI.

The rifle sold last night. Thanks for your advice arfcom. Selling was better than trading for a couple of pistols.
