Bm59 does it for me too!!
My first M1A and the Polytech that got away.....
The Poly was a MONSTER when I'd use it in CQB matches.
The EBR chassised Loaded Standard I bought new in 2001.

For blank firing, but having put lots of blanks through M14s in ROTC I never saw a breech shield available or issued.

That's one hell of a price, last one I saw with metal was $450+ several years ago.
Firearms News had an article about fitting and finishing the Sarco stock. It's not a drop in part apparently.

Yes Beretta Made some stocks for Springfield short run call the Bush rifle.
This one has since found a new and happy home amongst the CFF crowd:
I bet that smarts to shoot!

The wire stocked M1a doesn’t have much padding but I don’t mind it some friends didn’t care for it told them y’all been shooting those ar15s to long😂
Wish there was a real competitor to Springfield here. I feel like an M1A/M14 that was either better quality or American made, or closer to 1k would kill them (or at least force improvements on Springfield's part).

Winter M1A love! Pulled the supermatch out of the safe last weekend and shot the CMP-style match at PHA. Very chilly that morning and I'd lose feeling in my trigger finger every few minutes! Here's a few clips from the match, taken with the GoPro (4min/42Mb)

Sorry, my mistake. It is in fact a 1903 coin. Pm me if you still want it.
My first one! Scout Squad, added an ARMS mount and vortex scope. Had to take off the scout mount rail to clear the scope with medium rings, now I just need a new upper handguard to fill the hole.

Put a scope on that badboy !
Polytech M14/S currently.
I started with M14s in ROTC in 1975. I've owned 3 M1As over the years: a Devine TX 3-digit SN in the mid 70s, a 1985 and a late 80s. The 85 and late 80s were both all GI parts. I gave the most recent one to my son when he was home on leave from Iraq in 2007. It has an HRA barrel, Winchester oprod, and TRW bolt.
I realized at Woodys earlier this week that I cannot see the plates at 200 yds with iron sights. I probably shot 30 rounds from the Polytech and scored one solid hit. I can still see targets at 100 yds with irons at least.

Exactly my thoughts. Kills me every time I see one with the bayonet lug shaved off
