Item Relisted! FS Golden era Springfield M1A NIB all original docs and box

[Scaramanga247]

This is a golden era m1a if you’re familiar with that term. So lots of real gi parts including a TRW bolt. Original box and docs also this was when they still gave you the headspace measure card and blue band. A rare gem compared to the current crap from Springfield. Relatively certain I have not fired it so new from factory. Comes with one gi mag.

Any questions ask.

Where’s the bayo lug?
Golden Era should all be “Pre-ban”, right?

Golden era went just a couple years in to the ban

This was my logic based on serial number:

0748XX Late version SA, Inc. commercial manufacture operating rod now used to assemble complete rifles.
081004 Built at the factory with the following USGI parts: TRW trigger housing, HR-N hammer, TRW bolt, Winchester barrel, and WCE USGI rear sight elevation and windage knobs.
084000 Generally accepted highest “safe” serial number for pre-’94 AW ban rifles. Since about this serial number, no M1A rifles have been factory built with lugged flash suppressors.


According to the headspace card this was a 1994, so it is in that late grey zone I would assume based on serial number.

Either way a nice piece in my humble opinion

I would be happy to re-state as end of golden era if that seems more appropriate, either way no ill will intended.

1986 to 1996 I think

Clinton era demilled loads of M14s so parts became more plentiful for a short while. Missing a bayo lug shouldn't hurt this battle raffle.

The buyer can always grab a gi bayonet lugged Fh from TreelineM14

Man! I had one that was made in 1990’ish. Sako barrel, TRW bolt, bayo lug, M1A Standard. 069??? Serial number. Sold it in 2014’ish and bought a stainless match edition. I shoulda never sold that Golden Era one. Good luck with sale
