I think the M14 world is more forgiving than the AR world though, and you won't offend anybody wether you call it an M14, an M1A, or an M14 clone.

Boricua--what was the selling price on the base rifle you started with? I looked at SA's website, and they don't seem to want to put prices up for those rifles. $1200? $1500? $2000? If you're uncomfortable posting what you spent, send me a PM--I'm genuinely curious, as I've been kicking around options for a semi-auto "accuracy" rifle for a while now.

Dealer costs involved, so PM sent! I hope you're sitting down!

It's about what I expected....not bad for what you get. If you take care of that rifle, it'll still be plugging quarters in fifty years.

FWIW, my local shop sells the base model M1A for $1,340.65. That's for this:

Top of the line is:

You are sitting down, right? $2,813.18

Innocent life is cheap--a few hundred bucks for an abortion. Guilty life is expensive--a couple million for appeals, incarceration, and execution. How bass-ackwards is our society?
