Senior Member Location: APOLLO, PA | FOR SALE: SA M1A Pre-Ban Super Match (Rear Lug) Any Takers? I have a SA M1A Pre-Ban Super Match in my safe that I don't shoot. It is an early '94' which means it has a rear lug. All Parts are U.S.G.I. except the barrel which is SA. When I bought the rifle years ago from a gentleman there was a defect in the barrel and wasn't shot much and the gentleman sent it back to SA and they put a brand new Super Match barrel on it. Since I've had it with a new barrel I put appraox. 20 rounds threw it. So this rifle is dam near brand new. I shoot my SA Standard rifle with cheep ammo anymore so I don't need the Super Match. One U.S.G.I mag will come with the rifle. I'm asking $1,820.00 shipped to your FFL. Hell I'll throw in three 30 round USA mags with the deal (I know they are crape, but they are free). I'll even throw in 5 more 20 round aftermarket mags (These ones work great: never a malfunction and cost $25.00 each 4 years ago). For an extra $100.00 I can sell a hard case that I cut the foam to fit rifle and mags. I really don't believe I'm asking nearly as much as some on this board for a Pre-Ban Super Match. I will be loosing money. But I Really need a good Elliptical Fitness Trainer to get my butt back into shape. They aren't cheep either. So this rifle got to go. |

Initially designed as a varmint round, it may be used for wildlife and game such as coyote, blacktail deer, whitetail deer, mule deer, pronghorn, and wild hogs. Smokey robinson and the miracles special occasion rar download. It can also be used against larger game such as black bear, but is sometimes said to be “too light” for such large game. Rounds heavier than 90 grains are better suited for hunting larger game while rounds less than 90 grains are more suitable for varmints. The .243 is based on a necked down .308 cartridge case.”
The following is taken from http://thefiringline.com/forums/archive/index.php?t-532264.html where they cite, M14 Rifle History and Development Fifth Edition: “Springfield Armory, Inc. offered M1A rifles chambered in .243 Winchester from at least 1978 until 1994 and in .358 Winchester from 1978 to 1980. Barrel blanks in .22, 6 mm, .25, .270, 7 mm, .30 and .35 caliber were offered from 1978 through 1980. Springfield Armory, Inc. would install one of their barrels into a M1A rifle during this period for a nominal charge, $10.00 to $14.00. From 1990 and later, the M1A was available in 7mm-08. These M1A rifles were sold in the United States and in countries where civilians were prohibited from owning military compatible ammunition, e.g., France. For example, Super Match M1A serial number 088619 was custom built in 1995 by Springfield Armory, Inc. It had a Hart 7mm-08 heavyweight barrel and the receiver was rear lugged. M1A rifles exported to Spain are chambered for .307 Winchester.”
