Just picked this preban USGI M1A up. How’d I do?

Picked this up on a private sale for $1295. Google tells me it has a good USGI barrel and USGI guts. It’s a 1980 dated national match with a Saco-Lowell barrel, TRW OP rod and H&R trigger assembly. It’s in a GI stock and has the bayonet lug still attached. Google says this would be a good collector’s piece, is that correct?

A quiet rainy autumn range day

Had the range to myself yesterday, I guess no one likes to shoot in the rain. (I do). It was very relaxing.

From left to right:
MAC5 with sub9
DD MK18 with Trijicon Acog, Trijicon RMR and Surefire RC2
M1a tanker with surge 7.62
1916 dated Mauser C96 war time commercial

ATF director says ATF classifying specific FRT’s are machine guns, others are not

But does not specify which are designated FRTs and which are considered machine guns. Thoughts?

Just found this.

While doing lawn work I just noticed this on the side of the house. Everything I have googled says horizontal cracks are far more worrisome. I can’t see any damage to the foundation from the inside of the garage. How can I tell if this is just the parge cracking or actually going into the foundation?

Safe to shoot?

With this deformation behind the bolt stop, would you shoot this? It has wolff springs purchased for it.

Can’t decipher these proof marks on a C96

This is on bottom of barrel underneath the chamber. Not on the usual proof marks locations. The “crown” looks a little different from examples I have seen. Anyone have an idea what these proof marks state? Also the M (or W?) is beside the crown. Not marked below it. So I’m at a loss and looking for any experts. Please and thank you
