The M1A Loaded series (MA9822) features a 22-inch stainless steel National Match barrel that is air-gauged and medium weight, capped with an M14-pattern slotted muzzle device. The barrel is threaded and uses a 1:11 RH twist, optimized for .308 Win loads. The receiver is Parkerized steel, contrasting cleanly with the stainless barrel.
The action is a semi-automatic, gas-operated, short-stroke piston system with a rotating bolt, true to the M14 platform. A National Match two-stage trigger is set at approximately 4.5 lb to provide a consistent, predictable break. Length of pull is 13.5 inches.
Sighting is handled by a protected National Match front blade and a GI match-grade, non-hooded rear aperture with fine adjustments: 1/2-MOA for windage and 1-MOA for elevation. The handguard is a brown, ribbed polymer unit consistent with the M14 pattern.
