The newest addition to the family! I waited a long time for this rifle!

The only thing being done to this is getting an original bayonet,sling, and some better glass.

Enjoy fellas! 8)

Some more cool info I just found out. My serial # starts with 060***
042201 to 063000 This is the serial number range that I refer to 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.
Build on date from what I can find is: October 1990
