How do you get the M1A Marksman rifle?

[MandalsTV]

As the title says, how do you get the M1A marksman rifle? The purple one. Can you buy it from a vender or do you have to find it as a drop?

Well you can hope it drops from missions, or you can try and porting around town checking the various shops in the safe houses, they change the available stock every couple of hours.

But if i where you, i would not try to get a specific weapon before reaching 30 and then going for yellow high end ones.

I ran every good sniper rifle i could find before 30, and then hording marks to buy the blueprint for the sniper rifle that is available at your base.

I agree with all of that. One of the thing you can do is complete side quests. Often you will receive a blueprint from the mission or the JTF officer in that zone safe house. Depending on how far along you are, the Murry Hill Civilians side mission will award an amazing marksman blueprint.

I've gotta admit...the M1 is super rare. I have the M1-A1 superior version...but can't remember how I got it. But haven't seen it drop since then. It's an AMAZING gun with the high velocity clip. I use it as a deadlier AR. 

Equally as hard is finding a 12x scope. I would even buy one if a vendor sold them. But good luck on your search!
