This SOCOM 16 configuration pairs a 16.25 in barrel with a SOCOM gas-lock and integrated multi-port muzzle brake to manage muzzle rise and redirect gas. The rifle uses a gas-operated, short-stroke piston system with an operating rod, true to the M14 platform.
The barrel-mounted forward Picatinny rail provides a solid mounting surface on the forward end of the rifle. Sighting is handled by an adjustable aperture rear sight with windage and elevation drums and a wing-protected front sight.
The receiver is steel with a matte phosphate finish, and the rifle retains the heel marking "US RIFLE M1A SPRINGFIELD ARMORY." The bolt is marked "7790186-SA" over "F00206." Country of origin is USA.
The rifle is fitted with a black composite stock featuring molded checkering for a secure hold. Length of pull measures 13.25 in.
Chambered in .308 Win and configured for 5+1 capacity, this rifle includes one 5-round steel M1A/M14 pattern magazine to match the listed capacity.
