- A person I know here at the university has an older Springfield
- National Match M1A, and was considering possibly selling it to me,
- except we don't really have a good handle on what would be a fair
- price for this particular gun. Following is his description:
-
- ____________________________________________________________________________
-
- Why don't you ask some of your shooting buddies what they think one like I
- have would be worth, maybe they would be familiar with the older Springfield
- National Match M1A's like mine: 10,000 range serial number, bedded stock,
- NM sights, wood upper hand guard, absolutely mint condition! etc. etc.
- Let me know what they think.

- Well, I know what the current production M1As are going for, except that
- there are several different "match grade" ones produced now, and I'm not
- really sure how they compare to the older "national match" model. I'm also
- unsure of whether the relatively low serial number adds any collector
- value, since I was of the opinion that these rifles were valued more for
- how well they shoot in competition rather than being "collectable" per se.
- Since I'm looking for a shooter, I wouldn't want to buy this one if it
- has significant added "collector value" due to the low serial number.
- Since I consider all of you here on rec.guns as my "shooting buddies",
- I decided to post this to the net and I'll let him see the responses for
- himself (I know that he sometimes reads rec.guns, and I'll inform him that
- I have posted his question.
