Quoted: CAI Garands were built with used parts on a cast receiver.While i've heard some were good shooters as long as the CMP has real Garands they are non starters for most people.The M1a will definetly hold it's value better as well as being a being a better weapon.I'm assuming this M1a is a Springfield Armory,correct?. What are the prices on these rifles as I can't imagine anyone would sell these two for even remotely similar prices.

The M1A is SA and is in what I think is an M14 stock- it has the cutout in the stock for the selector switch.
They have them both priced around $900.00, but said they would definately work with me.
This is the shop that, under new management, can't display "assault weapons" on the rack for sale, so they have a very hard time moving them, and want an FFL to ensure noone goes postal. They sold me my Colt MTC HBAR for $700.00 after it was marked $895.00, so I should be able to get a good deal.
Apparently the old management overpaid on a lot of weapons, and it looks like someone sold an entire collection to the shop. They don't know what some of the rifles are either. I have put in layaway an Arisaka type 99 short rifle they had priced at $89.95. It was listed as a Nissein bolt action rifle. The manager said they had given $149.00 for it and are taking the hit to get it out of the shop.
What are SA M1As selling for used?
