In the current market, it is unlikely that you'll get $1500 for it. I can get a new one for that much locally.

It's in an MCS chassis, has the original stock/handguard, and comes with seven mags and the mil tools.

Maybe, maybe not. Always a market for pre ban, and most likely all GI parts which makes it more desirable to purists.

If you're truly never going to shoot it, then you should sell it for something you want, or to just get rid of an wanted gun (whatever THAT might be

).

Yup. Only gun I have sold and not regretted was a Beretta 90-two - well I did regret that I didn't beat it to death. Keep it. The ban isn't going anywhere and you never know what tomorrow might bring.

I vote YES. I have sold a few guns in the past year because I just didn't shoot them. I put the money towards other projects. I do not regret the decision one bit.
Having said that, I would not sell it until you know exactly where the money is going to go.

The "would you rather have $1500 or this tooled-up M1A?" question is an easy one: I'd rather have the $1500, hands-down. I don't even know what I'd buy with it instead.

IMHO (yes, that's worth every penny too

) this answers your poll question. It's not like selling a family heirloom, or just a more historic gun like an old Garand or something more collectible. Just a tool that you don't need/want any more, clear it out and make room for something you really do want!

I would sell, never liked the scout version of the M1A, if it was a full sized rifle I would say keep it.

Jed195 · Apr 12, 2019

If you sell it would you have it in the original stock or sell it in the chassis? Or as a package, old stock and gear with it?

Whole thing. I don't care if I take a hit on it.

That's offhand! A m14 in a distinguished rifleman hands is an awesome thing.

If the military issued em, they’re cool in my book.

Loose nut behind the buttplate! Called that one out before I even looked at the target. :sad20:

No, that was prone with sling @ 200yds. Iron sights and 60 year old eyes. :innocent0

I wish my offhand was that good!

Iron sights at 200? Damn, bro, that’s not bad at all!

Simple. If you don't want it, then sell it and buy what you want. Life is short.

Far as I know the military never issued a scout M14 just like there was no such thing as a tanker Garand.

Well then, in that case I say sell it.

snakep · Apr 13, 2019

I sold my pre-ban M1A Scout several years ago and have regretted it ever since. YMMV.

calicojack · Apr 13, 2019

I am not big on M1A's, so I say sell.

That's an even better reason to sell it. :thumbsup:
