Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 .308 Win Semi-Automatic Rifle, 16.25" Barrel, Black Synthetic Stock
The SOCOM 16 takes the battle-proven M1A platform and pares it down to a compact, fast-handling rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. A 16.25 inch barrel with factory muzzle brake, tritium-equipped iron sights, and a rugged synthetic stock make this variant notable for its blend of maneuverability and authoritative caliber. This example remains in very good shape with a clean bore and includes two factory 10-round magazines.

The 16.25 inch barrel is paired with a factory muzzle brake that tames recoil and maintains fast follow-up shots, a signature feature of the SOCOM series.
A partially shrouded Trijicon tritium front sight teams with an adjustable rear aperture, supplying a quick, low-light aiming solution without adding optics.
The gas-operated action retains the reliability of the M14 lineage while shrinking overall length. Combined with the 13 inch length of pull, the rifle shoulders quickly and clears tight spaces more easily than full-length variants.
A black synthetic stock with molded-in texturing provides weather resistance and a solid grip. The non-reflective black finish on metal components complements the stock for a cohesive, duty-oriented look.
Springfield includes two factory 10-round magazines, giving the shooter immediate range or defensive readiness without hunting for compatible mags.
