Default My new Springfield M1A

I picked this up the other day. It was out of a large gun collection from an estate. As far as I can tell it has never been fired like almost all other firearms from this estate. At first I thought it may be a NM M1A but it only has the front sight marked NM. The folding stock is surprisingly comfortable in the shoulder. I'm going to call Springfield and see when it was manufactured.
