So I want to buy a M1A

[Jack Package]

So I want to buy an M1A, have already made up my mind on a Springfield Armory Model MA9102 Standard M1A (unless convinced otherwise). I am going to buy it online for certian reasons (dont ask) and was wondering who is the best online retailer to get it from. I was thinking Cheaper Than Dirt or Bud's Gun Shop. Now I have heard bad things about Buds but they seem to have the best price so far. Does anyone else know any good online retailers I could look at. I honestly am not sure where to start and just want to get the best deal. Thanks for the help.

You might check Grabagun in Texas.

Not cheaper than dirt IMO. Pretty much anyone else. You might try local classifieds or put a local WTB post in the M14forum classifieds.

You should be good to go with buds. I'm not sure what you've heard, but just know it's almost impossible to make everyone happy. I doubt they would have the huge volume of business they do if the vast majority of their customers weren't satisfied. I've purchased from them several times and have never had a negative experience.

Buds Guns is where I would start. Just look for the best source considering price and S&H. Personally, and just a me thing, I would not ever consider Cheaper Than Dirt, however that is your call.

Check prices and availability on gunbroker. I've bought a number of new guns from gunbroker dealers, including my M1A Loaded, and have always found the best prices and gotten good service.

Here's a couple with decent "buy it now" deals-

Another good place is sportsmansoutdoorsuperstore.com

The one you want is out of stock right now, but they have free shipping on all firearms. I accidentally ordered the wrong pistol from them a few weeks ago. I caught it before it shipped, and called them up. Their CS was very polite and understanding, and got the right one sent to me, no charges, no hassle.
