Hey Sublime, have you been able to order your M1A1? ii guess mark from a&a doesn't have any left, but i guess Ken from 007 told me couple weeks ago that he HAS some m1a1.
I ended up getting mine from a&a and just love it
PS: Just be warned that if you're getting a 8.4V 3600mAh battery or larger you will not be able to completely close the butt stock battery cover, but it still stay in place, it just will not lock.
I first got the Intellect 3600mAh and i couldn't lock the butt stock battery cover and I particularly didn't like it that way, so i got a 2400mAh and now it closes perfectly
