Nice rifle you have there!
Mine has all Winchester parts minus receiver, and barrel. I need a dummy selector kit though. |

Wow sir. That is really nice. You really have the clone guns on full bore. Very nice M1A. That is also a fantastic picture.

So nice well done sir !!
I'd really like to own an early s/n M1A with GI parts. Love the ventilated hand guard !! Was actually searching for one but stumbled across a minty Springfield SAR-48 FAL at the local pawn shop and they made me an offer so low I had to buy it. Maybe in a couple years I'll be able to get another M14 clone. |

Build your own, get a USGI M14 parts kit and buy a receiver from manufacture of your choice Quote HistoryQuoted:

That is exactly what I want to build my future M1A into. But I'd prefer to find an older ratty M1A than a new made one.

It was pretty matte, so I gave it a linseed oil treatment and a very very very light sanding. Has the USGI and proof marks, and upon inspection of the handguard retaining ring, there's a "dot" stake instead of a horseshoe type. Looking inside the trapdoor area, there are no markings whatsoever. Both of these are reminiscent of a TRW stock from what I understand. So yeah, definitely didn't know it was a TRW when I bought it, but lucked out big time. |

Thanks,
Every time I'm around an M14 clone with a GI barrel I always check the date. Would be cool to find one built in my birth month of Feb 62. |

All three of mine are GI parts, 2 4 digits and one in the 40K range. Older ones are definitely better with GI bits.
I can easily find M1A's, however, they are almost always chock full of newer non GI parts so good score OP! |
