The Springfield Armory M1A Scout Squad NY Compliant delivers the proven M14 platform in a configuration that meets New York state regulations while maintaining the rifle's legendary reliability. This 7.62x51mm NATO rifle combines tactical versatility with traditional M1A accuracy in an 18-inch barrel configuration.
What Makes This Different
The Scout Squad variant features a shortened 18-inch barrel compared to the standard 22-inch M1A, reducing overall length by 4 inches while maintaining excellent ballistic performance. The integrated Picatinny rail system eliminates the need for aftermarket scope mounts, providing a solid platform for optics mounting. New York compliance features include a fixed stock design and 10-round capacity limit, making this rifle legal for Empire State shooters without compromising the M1A's core functionality.
