Yes, Virginia, we are giving away a Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad tonight near the end of the LaSalle County GSL meeting at Jamie’s Outpost in Utica.

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.
