I have a 1988 vintage M1Aicon match and it is sweet. It looks great, still holds 1-1/4 at 100yd with the std match loads, and SA has backed up everything that went wrong, which is not much nor anything serious. I had a friend whose super match went boom with foreign ammo. Never nailed down the cause, out of battery fire or bad ammo. SA thought it was the ammo, but replaced the rifle anyway. Running a business in America is one of the most challenging yet rewarding vocations there is, kind of like raising kids. You generally have to be pretty smart to survive, and lucky don't hurt. I wish them the very best.

"We don't "Make" anything anymore. Very sad." - Jerry, we generally make sell what other countries can't. If we have a government that squashes free enterprise, that will always hurt. In many cases other countries now have better growth climates with less trade restrictions and less regulation than we have. We have to reverse that trend.
