This is my XM21 build on a 1980 dated SAI M1A rifle. The scope is a Leatherwood scope put together by Iron Sight Inc. in Tulsa, OK from NOS Leatherwood parts. The M14 walnut stock came from the internet. Now here is the cool part. I purchased this rifle at auction only to discover that it had never been sent back to have the bolt replaced by SAI from a !987 recall! I then contacted SAI and was told that, Yes it had to come back. I decided to replace the barrel with a NM SAI barrel since they would have it anyway. Long story short, I called SAI on Tuesday, received a return authorization 15 minutes later, packed it up and shipped it to Genesco, IL 2:30 p.m. that day, they received it at 8.21 a.m. Wednesday. SAI called Friday and said the rifle would ship Monday, and I had it in my hands 2 p.m. Tuesday. I call that great service from SAI and great good fortune on my part. Oh, and Merry Christmas.
