Are there any good quality M1A clones on the market?

You can get a used Norinco (Chinese) for between 6-800 dollars. SAs for sale in several places for a little less than new. SA is your cheapest, NEW MADE, then comes Fultons, and Enterprise Arms. Cheap naw, if you want cheap, buy a Ruger mini 14. An m-14 clone'll cost ya.

Yes,and like the Barbarian said the Norinco will cost ya.What Barbarian didn't mention is that you have to spend another $500 or more to "re-work" that Norinco,to make it both safe to shoot,and so it'll hit what you aim for. So you may as well pony up the money for a used-if you can find one,Springfield M1A.If you have a good relationship with a gunsmith you could get a Armscorp receiver,like I did and find various parts at gun shows,and assemble it your self with the help of "The M14 Owner's Guide,by Scott Duff-a must have,in any case.Good luck.:2guns: BILL

On another forum a guy who is pretty knowledgable about the Noricos said they were worth about $400 without any 're-work'. Though with guns there's always a difference between what somethings worth and the asking price.
