Standard pre-ban configuration with flashider and bayonet lug, made in 1990. Stock is cut for the M14 selector switch and is most likely a surplus USGI stock, although it is not cartouched. This gun falls within the serial number range of 042201 to 063000 which is referred to by Springfield M1A collectors as the Golden Age of the M1A. The receiver design had fully matured by this time. The receivers were hand finished by the original designer and master craftsman, Melvin Smith. Springfield Armory, Inc. was awash in USGI parts during this period. Thus, factory built standard model M1A rifles in this serial number range were built with a very high USGI parts count. This gun is equipped with a Leupold 4-12x44 with duplex reticle in the second focal plane. Accompanying this gun is a commercial all steel bipod, three 30 round magazines, three 20 round magazines, one ten round magazine and one five round magazine. CONDITION: Gun retains 95% original finish overall with some light handling marks. All markings are clear. Wood is fine with light handling marks. Bore is fine with sharp rifling. Fine mechanical function. Optics on the scope are clear, non-click adjustments work. Accessories are in matching condition.
