This Scout Squad configuration uses an 18-inch barrel paired with a multi-port muzzle brake to manage recoil and maintain control. The polymer upper handguard is solid (non-vented), and the forward 'scout' Picatinny rail adds a built-in mounting surface on the barrel assembly.
The action is the classic M14/M1A gas-operated, rotating bolt system with the traditional operating rod profile. It feeds from detachable M14/M1A-pattern magazines and comes with a 10-round steel magazine for a 10+1 capacity.
GI-style iron sights include a protected front post on the gas lock and a GI-type aperture rear with protective ears and windage/elevation knobs, offering precise, repeatable adjustments. Length of pull is 13.5 inches for a solid shoulder fit.
The black synthetic stock features molded checkering and a rubber buttpad bearing the Springfield Armory crest. The steel receiver and overall matte dark gray/black finish provide a purposeful, non-reflective look. Sling swivels are installed front and rear.
