I bought this M1A1 a few years ago.. It came with an Art 2 scope which never mounted worth a darn. I shot better with open sight than with the Art 2.. Anyway I called Springfield and gave them the serial number,, turns out the gun is a Super Match which they say I should not shoot since it is an early gun with all GI parts, and replacing a broken GI part might prove hard to do.. Perhaps they are right.. I have shot 100 rounds and I'm not impressed. It dents all the brass. Is that normal? I can't believe they used this for a sniper rifle.. Perhaps I could find a better scope and mounts.. Has anyone been down this road?
Thanks
