Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 CQB .308 Win. Semi-Automatic Rifle, 16.25" Barrel, Adjustable Archangel Stock
The Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 CQB condenses the legendary M14 operating system into a maneuverable 16.25-inch package built for fast handling. Its shortened gas system, proprietary multi-port muzzle brake, and Archangel CQB chassis give this rifle modern adaptability while preserving the proven gas-piston action that has served for decades. Factory XS tritium sights, a forward scout rail, and a two-stage trigger round out a feature set that appeals to both defensive shooters and collectors looking for a compact, battle-tested platform.

The SOCOM 16 CQB’s 16.25-inch carbon-steel barrel is paired with a proprietary multi-port muzzle brake that tames recoil and minimizes muzzle rise, allowing rapid follow-up shots. A 1:11 RH twist stabilizes a broad range of .308 Winchester projectiles.
Springfield’s Archangel CQB chassis provides a six-position telescoping stock, adjustable cheek piece, and rubber recoil pad, letting shooters tailor length of pull and comb height for optics or irons. Ambidextrous QD cups and an AK-style pistol grip enhance handling and sling options.
The rifle retains the classic gas-piston, semi-automatic M1A action with a paddle magazine release and a crisp two-stage trigger—features valued for reliability and trigger control. A forward scout Picatinny rail ahead of the receiver makes low-mounted optics easy to install without sacrificing the iron sights.
XS wing-protected tritium front sight and an M14-pattern ghost-ring rear aperture offer fast target acquisition in varied light. The parkerized matte black finish on the carbon-steel receiver and barrel resists corrosion while matching the black polymer furniture for a unified, duty-ready appearance.
