The Springfield Armory M1A Standard Issue delivers battle-proven semi-automatic performance in 308 Winchester with the reliability of the legendary M14 platform. This MA9106 model combines traditional military specifications with modern manufacturing precision for competitive shooting, hunting, and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
Built on the time-tested M14 action, this M1A features a gas-operated rotating bolt system that cycles consistently under adverse conditions. The 22-inch barrel provides superior velocity and accuracy compared to shorter variants, while the Parkerized finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance beyond standard bluing. Springfield's two-stage military trigger delivers crisp break characteristics that outperform many commercial alternatives.
