Hey, I just looked at one in the shop. Its a SA standard model, wood-blued and he wants a little over 1,500 for it.
Is that a little high?
Seems high to me, check out the PX at m14firinglinefourm.com. You can find some good buys. I looked around and found a 1981 build (more usgi parts) very low round count, with five usgi mags for $1500.
The cast receiver is a none issue inho, some folks really like all usgi parts. The most important usgi part is the extractor. The SAI ones have issues for some. If you go new, look at a "loaded" model, better sights and NM barrel. If you scope it, check out Sadlak mounts, he has a kit for checking the receiver and well mod the scope mount to fit your rifle.
