Value of original M1A's??
I will be picking up 2 all original M1A's in the near future for a very good deal. I am told that one is all Springfield and the other has Win barrel and trigger group. From my understanding, and this is reliable intel, that these are pretty much mint from back in the 50's-60's time frame. MAYBE have been fired at most 50 times. So they are in superb condition. Does anybody have a good guestimate on approx value of each? Would the Win barreled trigger group be a better shooter or no telling until rounds are sent down range? Thanks for the info. Oh, I'm not familiar enough with M1A's but will be learning as much as possible in a very short time.

I think your reliable intel has it wrong. No matter, If they're a good deal and in good shape, go for it. You won't be sorry. AIRBORNE!From my understanding, and this is reliable intel, that these are pretty much mint from back in the 50's-60's time frame.
Actually, it's very likley that all the parts on the rifles EXCEPT the recievers are from that time frame. The recievers didn't go into production untill the early 70's. AIRBORNE!
