- One steel 20-round M14-pattern detachable box magazine (installed)
The 18-inch match-grade carbon-steel barrel features a 1:11 RH twist for reliable stabilization of common .308 bullets. Springfield’s proprietary multi-port muzzle brake mitigates recoil and muzzle rise, aiding quick target re-acquisition.
A forward-mounted Picatinny scout rail allows low-power optics or red dots without disrupting the traditional sight picture. If you prefer irons, the rifle retains National Match sights: a 0.062-inch front blade and an M14-pattern rear aperture with 0.069 MOA windage and elevation clicks.
The M1A’s gas-operated, long-stroke piston action is known for reliability in varied conditions. A two-stage trigger provides a predictable break, while the paddle-style magazine release supports rapid mag changes.
The black synthetic stock offers textured grip areas and a rubber butt-plate, with a 13.5-inch length of pull that fits a wide range of shooters. The rifle accepts standard M14 magazines, and one 20-round steel mag is included.
