Description: This is an extremely nice pre-ban Springfield Super Match M1A rifle manufactured in 1979. This M1A is in excellent condition inside and out, and quite a few U.S.G.I. parts were used in it's construction. These Super Match models feature a heavy contour Match-grade 22" inch steel 1in10" twist barrel, adjustable National Match front and rear sights with a hooded rear sight, a National Match mainspring guide, a Match-conditioned flash hider, a Match-conditioned gas tube, a two-stage Match-tuned trigger, and a special oil-finished and factory glass-bedded Walnut Match stock. These were the most accurate rifle that Springfield made. These rifles quickly earned a reputation for being extremely accurate and very reliable right out of the box, and have become sought-after today by collectors and shooters alike. Most people consider these pre-ban guns as the best that Springfield ever built, with a lot more attention paid to fit and finish than later guns. The inclusion of original U.S.G.I. parts also makes them more desirable than later/current production. This particular example is serial number 010656 and is in beautiful condition overall. We received this rifle from the original owner who purchased it in 1979. the vast majority of it's life was spent in storage. The original factory Parkerizing rates 95%, with only a few small spots of discoloration on the underside of the barrel. All of the factory stampings are crisp and clear. The bore is this M1A is perfect and should make an excellent shooter. The heavy stock on this Springfield is in excellent condition, free from any cracks, chips, repairs, or major dings/dents. The American Walnut is a very attractive light reddish brown, and outside of a few minor handling/storage marks is nearly perfect. The factory glass bedding appears to be in perfect shape and really fits the action tightly. All of the original U.S.G.I. stock hardware is intact and in place, including the hinged buttplate. All of the controls on this M1A are in perfect working order, including the adjustable rear sight. The action on this rifle is slick and smooth, and the bolt turns into battery perfectly without any slop. The factory tuned trigger is exceptional, breaking at the 2nd stage with a light pull with no grit or excessive travel. We have no doubt that this rifle will shoot just as well today as the day it left the factory 44 years ago. It comes complete with (1) original Springfield factory 20-round magazine, in perfect working order. If you have been looking for an early Super Match M1A here is your chance to get a sought-after "Pre-Ban" model made in 1979 at a great price.
