This is the first M1A that I have owned and i just thought i would share it with anyone who wants to see:

Model: SA loaded
Mount: Sadlak Airborne
Scope: U.S. Optics 1.8-10x37mm (GAP Ret.)
Stock: JAE-100 G3
Sling and Bipod: TBD (i have a 3-point sling that would just look tacky on this with the JAE stock now)

Sorry about the poor picture quality, but I'd rather spend my money on firearms than a camera.

Wow, looking good. Gotta ask, any idea what the total weight is?

Nice rifle. I like it, I just ordered a U.S, Optics scope for my J.A.E.-100 stocked M1A. I'd recommend an Atlas bipod.

total weight is... heavy, but i can always throw it back in the old stock if i want to lighten it up a little, once i get a scale at my new house i'll give a more accurate answer.

I want to get the the lightest weight/rugged (i know the two dont usually go hand in hand) bipod for it so any suggestions would be appreciated since im gonna start looking this weekend for one.

Very nice job Vanilla.. With Winter coming on and given your far Northern locale, I hope you've got your firewood put back for the first cold snap...

thanks, and it's my first year in ND, but i grew up in SD so i should be somewhat prepared, plus I'm a new EE in the local utilities company so if the power goes out, it just means i have to go to work.

edit: looks like i forgot to change my location when i moved

to those wondering, it weighed 15.6 lbs, no magazine, no bipod
