Overview
The Springfield Armory M1A Standard semi-automatic rifle delivers the robust performance and classic design lineage of the M14 platform. Engineered for reliability and precision, this rifle is a direct descendant of a proven military system, optimized for civilian applications requiring consistent accuracy and durability. Its design integrates a time-tested operating system with modern manufacturing processes to provide a highly functional and dependable firearm.
Key Features
Proven M1A Platform
The M1A Standard utilizes a gas-operated, rotating bolt action, a mechanism proven for its reliability and consistent cycling under varied conditions. This architecture ensures positive cartridge feeding and robust ejection, contributing to its reputation for unfailing operation and minimal maintenance requirements.
Precision Barrel Configuration
A 22-inch carbon steel barrel defines the M1A Standard’s ballistics. This barrel length is chosen to optimize projectile velocity for the .308 Winchester cartridge, balancing effective range with handling dynamics. The profile is selected to mitigate heat-induced stringing during sustained fire, thereby maintaining shot-to-shot consistency.
Durable Construction
The rifle features a robust blued finish on its steel components, providing a durable, corrosion-resistant surface. The synthetic stock offers enhanced environmental resistance, reducing weight compared to traditional wood options while maintaining structural integrity. This combination ensures operational readiness across diverse field conditions.
Ergonomics and Control
The synthetic stock integrates a classic M1A profile, providing a stable shooting platform for various firing positions. Standard battle sights, adjustable for windage and elevation, facilitate rapid target acquisition and precise shot placement. The rifle’s overall balance supports sustained carrying and controlled firing.
Compliance
This specific M1A Standard variant is configured to adhere to California state regulations, ensuring legal ownership and operation within that jurisdiction. This may include specific magazine capacity or feature restrictions as mandated by state law.
