The Fucking Sexy Beast That's Tempting Me To Drop A Few Grand Stock®, also known as the JAE100. Ha ha! I'm about to buy my first M1A and have been scouring the net for information. Stumbled across the picture in my OP and my jaw hit the floor. I know you said M1A (a Springfield Armory product), but I can't recommend the LRB M14SA highly enough. Best money I've ever spent on a long gun. |

What application will you be using the rifle in? Gaining proficiency with longer-range shooting applications. Eventually it'll get a mount/scope, but I'd like to become proficient at 300 or so with the standard sights and then go from there. All in all, it'll be a range (or out in the middle of nowhere) gun. Probably no more than 100-200 rounds a year after the initial break in and learning curve. I want a rifle that had better guts to start with rather than buying the entry model and pissing/moaning about it later. |

One more random question: stainless or parkerized barrel? I like the looks of the darker barrel, but would stainless provide greater longevity? Stainless opens up faster, but its very corrosion resistant and easy to keep clean. Between the two? Pick the one that you like, chances are you won't wear it out in your lifetime. If I were you I'd buy a standard m1a and the jae stock separate than put em together, cost you around 2100, instead of 2700. |

That stock better suck me, fuck me, do my laundry and dishes for 900 bucks. |

Owning both an M14SA and an AR10, I'd dare say you'd be better off with an AR10 pattern rifle if you're wanting to eventually run optics. Notcalifornialegal's comments about the barrel were spot on. I went with a chrome lined USGI pattern, but if I were going for more of a precision rig I'd opt for stainless. |
