The Standard Issue configuration retains the 22-inch barrel, walnut stock with a steel checkered buttplate, and the brown ribbed polymer/fiberglass upper handguard. It uses a detachable box magazine system and is chambered in .308 Win, with a listed capacity of 20+1.
Sighting equipment is true to the model: a protected front post integrated with the flash suppressor base and an unhooded rear aperture sight with windage and elevation drums. The muzzle uses the standard M14/M1A sleeve-over cylindrical slotted flash suppressor retained by a knurled castle nut; the barrel is not externally threaded.
Manufactured in 1992, this rifle is a pre-ban example produced prior to the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban. It was made in the USA and follows the M14 platform format in a semi-automatic configuration.
Functional details include a gas-operated, short-stroke piston system with a rotating bolt and a length of pull of 13.5 inches. Custom touches on this rifle include a receiver-mounted Picatinny scope base and additional rear sling loop hardware on the stock.
