The Springfield Armory MA4GENAM M1A Scope Mount Gen 4 transforms your M1A rifle into a precision platform ready for modern optics. This fourth-generation mount addresses the mounting challenges inherent in the M1A platform with a robust aluminum construction that maintains zero shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
Unlike previous generations, the Gen 4 mount features an improved clamping system that distributes stress evenly across the receiver. The precision-machined aluminum construction provides a rock-solid foundation that won't shift under recoil. Where standard mounts often require gunsmith fitting, this mount installs with basic tools while maintaining the rifle's ability to field strip normally.
