GaryKeim Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 I'm on the lookout for an M1A1 shooter. I asked the seller of this http://www.gunbroker.com/Item/728409181 about his reserve... USD$45K. Seems a tad high, but maybe not. Does anyone know the outcomes of any recent sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1957 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Way high. Ruben's aren't even that high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted December 14, 2017 Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 (edited) There is a thread on that gun from a few months ago. Look it up its a good read. I got lucky and just bought (today) a real nice M1A1 from Dan Shea in Nevada. Im still driving back to Phoenix. There are several on machine central site Edited December 14, 2017 by Petroleum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryKeim Posted December 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 (edited) @Petroleum 1: Fantastic! Now, tell me, would you be willing to sell it to me? I kid.

huggytree Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Finding a m1a1 isnt hard. Finding one without pitting and for a reasonable price is. If your budget is $23-25,000 one will show up. Right now I dont see any Id consider. All w quality issues And asking prices too high for the quality Ill let Petro 1 tell you what he just paid today for his Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 This is the gun i bought today from Dan Shea. I paid 20k for it. Excellent condition inside and out. http://www.subguns.com/classifieds/index.cgi?db=nfafirearms&website=&language=&session_key=&search_and_display_db_button=on&results_format=long&db_id=29616&query=retrieval Sent from my iPhone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Spectacular deal. A sell it today price for the nicest m1a1 Ive seen for sale this year I liked Rubens 1928ac refinished too. But it was $27. For $7 savings you can buy a Sten or mac. Or AMMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzz Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 NICE GUN!! Welcome to the M1A1 club. I knew you'd find a good one eventually. The wheel turns slowly sometimes but it turns. Looks like the form 4 transfers are running about 6 months. http://www.nfatracker.com/nfa-transfer-time-tracking/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted December 15, 2017 Report Share Posted December 15, 2017 Ty guys!!! Looking up the markings in my book the gun is a savage. The lower is savage too but without any serial numbers which is common. now its hurry up and wait. Debbie Shea saved me a delay by calling me today saying i forgot my social on my prints cards.
