BOTH ITEMS HAVE BEEN TRADED Here for you viewing pleasure is my Springfield "loaded" M1A.
There was a time when I thought I needed to have this fine weapon as it was what I was trained with and felt most comfortable. I collected the necessary field gear w/suspenders and ammo pouches, tool kit, manuals, sling, storage bag. All this is included as well as 4/20 rnd magazines. I place a trade value on this deal at $1,800.00 TRADED
I am only interested in Smith and Wesson handguns in trade, I may make exception to a Colt Python...always wanted one of those. I am looking for an excellent quality K-38 Target Masterpiece Pre Model 14, K-38 Combat Masterpiece Pre Model 15, 38/44 Outdoorsman, .44 HE 4th Model Target Model of 1950 Pre-24, 5 Screw Pre-Model 29 or the right 4-screw, Model 29-2 w/ barrel length 5" or less...combinations of pistols to bring value to even trade welcome, or pistol plus cash or if necessary I can kick cash for the right deal. I am located in Eastern Washington and willing to do ftf trade, weapon has original shipping container and will ship via ffl, other stuff seperately.

Which model is this....National Match? Any special options on the stock? Thank you.

Purchased 2007, Springfield "Loaded" M1A...
Loaded series is the basic rifle with added medium wt. NM chrome moly barrel, NM trigger, NM front sight, NM flash suppressor. No special options on the stock other than the special fit butt pad. I've lightly lapped the action and put maybe 100 rnds down the barrel, firing portugese, british, and south african mil-surp, plus a reload from a local outfit. Never a ftf, rifle functions like a dream, smoothest semi-auto battle rifle ever, delivers 1" groups from mil-surp @ 100yds...iron sights. My eyesight is requiring the change-over to a scope, I have other scoped rifles. I have close to 2K rnds of ammo in 7.62 x 51, milsurp battle-paks which could be had for the right ftf, shipping would be prohibitive unless your willing to pony up the freight. I've taken very good care of the rifle, very few scratches, pictures upon request. The purists turn their noses up on these modern M1A's built by the Springfield Armory, I fired the real thing back in the day and this one will outshoot any of the M14's I was ever issued or fired, excellent trigger.

Holiday Bump to top

TRADED
I've decided the long barrelled Model 29 just aint the ticket, I've decided to throw all in on target shooting in .38 special and .22 as far as revolvers go. I still want to keep a .44 for varmints and such but would prefer a shorter barrel 3 or 4 inch. Doesn't have to be a .44 Magnum, 44 Special is just fine with me.
This is a real nice pistol, the gentleman that owned it previously claimed to have been a law enforcement armorer and had worked the trigger, very light trigger pull in single action...smooth as silk double. Light wear on the muzzle and other high points from excessive rubbing and cleaning. Currently wearing late model Smith & Wesson issue target stocks, box and all accessories go with pistol of course.
Not much interested in any other caliber with possible exception to .45LC, I still like to keep a hand cannon around.
The serial number runs in the 21,XXX range.
