What exactly is a 'loaded' M1A? Mine is from '94 and has all USGI parts.

My M1A is loaded when I fill the magazine with 20 rounds of M80 ball. Then, pull back on the operating rod to chamber the first round.

Now that's what I call loaded! dance2

Otherwise... I thinks it's just a matter of a MW barrel and a 4.5 pound trigger pull.GITEN

NM sights also. Non hooded on rear.

Oh yeah... Forgot about the NM front and rear sights.

Thanks! GITEN

LOADED:

1. NM Sights, non hooded rear
2. Medium weight NM barrel
3. NM reamed flash suppressor

think that is about it.

You Funny G.I. .........( visions of the scrounger for John Wayne,... and the little guy standing at the chopper in the end scene)

On topic....I believe the loaded ones are reportedly supposed to be put together in the custom shop sometimes, but not always....

The loaded also has a NM tuned trigger assembly and a NM extra wide handguard to clear the medium weight NM barrel.
