thinkin bout selling ar for m1a?? what do you think ingo

[churchmouse]

SOCOM 16
I have AR's and a SOCOM.
The SOCOM will kill a car. The AR might disable it.

 

[Kedric]

While I am a fan of both and own both... I have to say that for me, the M14/M1A far outclasses the M16/AR15.

So far all the thoughts on the pro side of a trade have been my thoughts. Havent found a trade haven't even tried yet but just wanted to see if I was crazy or not. And with the ar craze right now if I could find a guy with a couple m1a's and wanting to grab a ar then I would jump on it but really doubt someone would but you never know. Never thought I would see the day a colt 6920 would go for 2700 bucks

 

[SaintsNSinners]

I never thought I would find a mainly USGI M1A socom II for less than 2k and I picked one up with scope, scope mount, 6 mags for 1500...



You never know what you will find until you find it..

 

[Tinner666]

I probably would. The only thing that would hold me back is parting with one of my firearms. I really hate parting with any of them. The M1A is much better though!

 

[KillStick]

I love my M1a, I love my AR's if I had to make a decision on which to keep it would probably be the M1A.

 

[BGDave]

If you have 3K .223 sell it and AR. I've noticed the price on these are up a little. Watch the clasifieds closely. Not to long ago someone sold a M1a supermatch. Doesn't get any better than that. Would trade ANY of my AR type rifles for a nice M1a.

 

[Leadeye]

Had an M1A since 80, best semi auto I own.

 

[colts1982]

My opinion the m-14 are the finest service rifle the u.s. military has ever made. Just the cost of the m1a is what has keep me away but if the ar stuff is going to be close in price kinda a no brainer

 

[SaintsNSinners]

Get a Socom 16 or Socom II

 

[TheWabbit]

No comparison. Nothing better than some good wood in your hand!

I wholeheartedly agree.

 

[pwoller]

I say go for it. I have a Garand and love to shoot it. Like the look better too!

 

[dubsac]

Everyone should have an M1A, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine and AR15

 

[Cemetery-man]

Everyone should have an M1A, M1 Garand, M1 Carbine and AR15

 

[RGR12]

I think it depends on what kind of shooting you are doing.

 

[Dragon]

I'm a bit confused here, someone please correct me on this if I'm wrong but... AR-15 prices aren't the only ones that have gone up. Just because an M1A was $1,400-1,600 a month ago doesn't mean it still is right now. If there is a potential ban, it will be included the same as an AR-15.

Not trying to rain on your parade here but my M1A with Sage EBR is worth about 3-4 AR-15's, the ammo has always been a LOT more expensive, and mags about double the price.

 

[Cerberus]

OP, first thing to do is find a store that actually has an M1A in stock (even the new ones have very few problems, if any, per the M14 forum). If they aren't moonbat crazy high, put a down payment on it. Sell your AR for a currently reasonable market price and then pay off the M1A. Mags and ammo are always easy sells if you aren't crazy on the price.

I recently moved my AK collection out and bought an M1A and mags, but kept my AR.

 

[Fordtough25]

I would love an M1A in my safe! Love my M1 Garand, and if I could swap one of my AR's for an M1A I would make it happen ASAP.

 

[HavokCycle]

i love M1As and AR10s, but i wouldn't trade outright. AR15 is much more ubiquitous, meaning ammo and magazines (current crisis not withstanding) is generally easy to find, and cheap. the same can't be said for .308 - though it is indeed popular.

stick with your current weapon and save up cash.

 

[Sgt7330]

Go for it. Grab an M1A, or at least find a USGI M14 parts kit to stach away and then start hunting for a good receiver. I built mine on a Fulton Armory. You can also do the same with a newer Springfield M1A, just remove commercial parts for your USGI. Then sell your new parts or stash them away.
