I'm getting a hankering to own a M1A. Take what I know about them and add a couple of dollars and I might be able to get a cup of Java.

I'm going to start researching so that I can make a somewhat educated purchase. While I'm doing that any advice or opinions as to what to look for or what to look out for would be appreciated.

I don't plan on shooting competitions with it but as with my garands that I shoot I really would like for the limiting factor on accuracy to be me and not the rifle.

762mmfirearms offers a hammer forged receiver - any opinions about it? should I stay with Springfield or Armscorps? I'm not looking to build up a rifle but I'm open to that if you all think that's a better way to go.

Help!!!
