Springfield M1A Scout Squad NY Compliant 7.62 NATO 18" 10+1

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.

Key Features

• 18-inch parkerized carbon steel barrel optimized for 7.62x51mm NATO/.308 Winchester
• Integrated Picatinny rail on steel receiver for direct optics mounting
• 10+1 capacity with included magazine meets NY compliance requirements
• Black synthetic fixed stock provides consistent cheek weld and length of pull
• Two-stage military trigger with approximately 5.5-pound pull weight

Match-grade accuracy potential allows for sub-2 MOA groups with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for precision shooting applications and hunting medium to large game.
