That's $247.50 after the discount before shipping.
The ATF economy M1's are a good bang for the buck though. However, swivel bales are 95% post autumn 1944 issue. The seam won't age like a ww2M1 either as it's made of a different metal. Take a look a period photos of GI's on operations or training and one predominant feature is the wear-off of paint on the seam. It's one of those looks that makes the difference / transition from costume to re-enactment.
Or maybe I am just fussy.
