M1A

The Fall GCA Journal should start hitting some mail boxes this week, better late than never. It will include a terrific article on the birth of Springfield Armory Inc. and the M1A. The featured rifle will be one of the first, made while it was still The LH Gun Company.

I bought an M1A years ago in the 40K serial range and had Roland Beaver install a Jan 1960 dated barrel, also had the early T-44 stock in mint condition with the M1
rifle type butt plate. Really nice shooting rifle and without any problems. There was a market for commercial M14 semi auto rifles while the M1 conversions were still
somewhat popular they were never the same as the M14.
