The heart of this rifle is its 22-inch National Match, air-gauged carbon-steel barrel with a 1:11 right-hand twist. The medium-weight profile balances stiffness for accuracy with manageable weight, and the slotted GI-style flash suppressor retains the classic M14 look.
A match-tuned two-stage trigger breaks at a crisp 4.5 lb, supporting precise shot control. Paired with National Match iron sights—an NM .062" front blade and a non-hooded .052" rear aperture with ½-MOA windage clicks—the setup offers refined mechanical accuracy right out of the box.
The walnut stock provides traditional aesthetics and a solid 13.5" length of pull, while the brown polymer upper handguard withstands heat during sustained fire. A parkerized carbon-steel receiver and barrel ensure durable corrosion resistance.
Factory customization sets this example apart: Springfield Armory’s 4th-Generation steel side-mount Picatinny rail accepts a wide range of optics, and a 7-slot Picatinny section inlet into the fore-end supports bipods, lights, or other accessories without altering the stock’s profile.
Shipped with three detachable box magazines (20-, 20-, and 5-round capacities) and a leather M1907 sling, this rifle arrives ready for benchrest work, competition, or hunting where magazine limits vary.
