The M1A Standard configuration pairs the original 22 in barrel length with a semi-automatic, gas-operated, short-stroke piston system and a rotating bolt. Its steel receiver carries the correct heel marking and a uniform dark grey phosphate finish across components, reflecting the classic M14-pattern aesthetic and construction.
Furniture is true to form: a walnut stock with a steel buttplate that incorporates a trapdoor and flip-up shoulder rest, matched to a brown, ribbed, non-vented GI-style fiberglass upper handguard. The length of pull is 13.5 in, offering a traditional M14-style shoulder fit.
Sighting equipment includes an M14-style adjustable aperture rear sight and a protected blade front sight for a clear, durable sight picture. The threaded barrel is fitted with an M14-pattern slotted flash suppressor and bayonet lug.
