| I have an M1A new in box from 1994 thats receiver is marked "Springfield Sportster" I've never seen another like it. It has a TRW barrel and TRW Op rod. It came with an HR-R trigger group, but I replaced it with a TRW Trigger group. All new and unfired. Any collector interest in such a item? Any info on the "Sportster" markings? |

This may be one of the special ordered recievers/ rifles, some had a persons name for the s/n vs. having numbers. There was one on GBroker awhile back. According to SAInc lore, for a short time you could special order/ customize the markings.
Can you post a pic? I bet Different would like to have a digital copy too.? |

regalgseguy, you have a Sportmaster. It was a limited edition M1A rifle. Yours is the highest serial number I'm aware of for this model. AFAIK, most were made in 1991. They were assembled with a walnut stock or a gray laminate stock with an integral cheek rest. Great information, Thanks much! I believe my SN# date to be 1994 |
