This firearm is (obviously) Illinois legal. It’s basically a carbine-length M1A with a muzzle brake instead of a flash suppressor making a “nice gun” under the PICA gun and magazine ban law.
Worried about the 10-round magazine? No problem. The next time you’re outside of Illinois, pick some up some standard M1A magazines at a gun show or at a local gun shop.
It’s a pricey gun (which you can win for next to nothing with a whole lot better odds than Powerball), but it shoots well, reliably and with a whole assortment of .308 / 7.62×51 ammunition.
It’s NICE! Springfield makes some good stuff and their entire M1A line is something they do very well.
And this one can be yours. Tickets are $10 each or 5/$40. You can pick them up tonight ahead of the meeting.
