[ARCHIVED THREAD] - NM OR NOT ??

Posted: 11/7/2008 2:26:40 PM EDT

Hey guy's, I just purchased a new SA M1A. The dealer told me it had a NM barrel. How can I tell for sure it does? Can I look up the serial number ? Where can I find out about my rifle? Thanks in advance!

P.S. I just got 1000 rounds of German .308 from Aim's. Is this good stuff?

If it doesn't have bedding around the receiver footprint and in the mag well, then it's not a NM rifle. No disassembly required––the bedding is pretty obvious.

nevermind, I found it on the box.
it states: M1A .308 W/N W.STK & NM BBL

I guess this means National Match Barrel.
