WTT/WTB M1A Got One Collecting Dust? Got one in the Safe?

So as some of you know I am really starting to get into Competitive shooting. I am looking for a M1A preferably a Springfield. Do you have one sitting in a safe doing nothing? Do you have one that's old and dusty and needs a new home? Why an M1A? I shoot Garand Matches and like the heft of the full caliber rifles. Its difficult to switch to a M4 Pattern.

Just a note, I shot the M1A for all of 2015 and the first half of 2016, in NRA and CMP matches, did well, avg score 90% (725/800).
As soon as I built my match grade AR my score jumped to 93%.
Scoped it and now avg 96%.
The AR platform with the internal weights and 0.080 wide front sight is easier to shoot rapids and has a nicer sight picture.
 
I keep asking myself what style of competition do i shoot the most and where Do I want to go? Greg_D Greg_D Those Service rifles looked cool on Saturday but the M1A just does it for me for some reason. So does the Garand that Corey was shooting. I guess i am looking for a Rifle that will fit into several categories like the Garand does.
 
I also love my Garand and and my M1A.
The M1A will definitely make you a better shooter, hold hard, squeeze the trigger.
The Match and Super Match M1A are for shooting XTC.
If you will only be shooting 100 and 200yrd matches get a basic model with a good barrel, then
let @nsussf accurize it:
--Trigger Job, 4.5lbs
--Ensure nothing is rubbing on the inside
--Drill the gas bolt(allowed by CMP and NRA rules)
Also ask him to add the NM Rear Sight, and NM Spring Guide and it will hammer.

I placed 15th/167 at the M1A National Match last year with a MilSurplus Parts Kit rifle built on a Fulton Armory receiver and accurized by @nsussf
