I'm not very knowledgeable about these rifles but I've always liked them. I bought one that was a train wreck several years ago, refinished it, shot it a little and sold it off. I've confirmed with Springfield that it left the factory in Aug 1990 as a NM and it appears to have a commercial barrel (unfortunately). Other than that I don't know much but I like it.

I"ve always liked those. I had a national match for a few years and sold it. It's one of the only firearms I've sold that I wish I still had.

Consider your face hated! I really miss my M1A, college partying and poor money management...I'm in the market for a SOCOM16 now, only because of Daylights End!

What's not to like?

What's the part where the stripper clip guide goes? Part of a scope base?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Nice phylo! One of my bucket list guns for sure.

Correct, I'd like to find a stripper clip guide to swap in.

Congrats on the rifle. I have had a NM for several years, bought it off a guy on here.

Cool tool, Phylo.

Congrats on an awesome rifle. They are a pleasure to shoot! Plus your first one is a 5 line Springfield which in some circles is more desirable.

Very nice. Good find.

Just got off of the phone with Springfield and found out that the rifle was built by Glen Nelson, icing on the cake!!

Here's a couple pics with her all cleaned up

Mine's just a standard, but I took the oversized stock off and put some GI wood on it

 

[T.Lex]

That's beautiful.

Great rifle Phylo, I've had mine since 1980 and it would be one of the last guns I would part with.

Phylo,

A NM rifle is something to hold in high regards, do you compete in any of the CMP matches? I shot a few CMP matches last year with a NM M14 wow what a rifle......

I will gladly shoot at camp Perry any time your rifle feels the need to go .....you do know NM rifles get lonely....
