I've looked and an M1A1 seems to be what I want. We have a gun show tomorrow. I'd like to ask all here for any advice about what to buy, avoid, and pricing. I know they went pricey in the last few months along with many other guns and rifles so how much is too much? Info on clips would be helpful as to price, how many I would need, and if I do buy the gun would it be better to get them online instead?

Most web searches send me to info about the M1 Army tank or gives me M1 comparisons to other rifles, most info I already know. Anyone have a good specific links to a website on this? Thank you all.

Try “Springfield M1A”.

They seem to be going for between $1300 and (*gulp*) $2900 depending on what goodies to get.

I’ve actually never fired an M1A so I can’t comment on it.

I also never owned but have fired an FAL ($1600 and up) and loved it. Great accuracy and manageable recoil, just a fun rifle to shoot but expensive to feed.
