The Springfield Armory M1A Loaded CA Compliant delivers precision shooting performance in a battle-proven platform designed for California's regulatory requirements. This semi-automatic rifle combines the legendary M14 action with modern manufacturing precision to create a versatile platform suitable for competitive shooting, hunting, and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
The M1A Loaded variant features upgraded components that distinguish it from standard M1A models, including a National Match barrel and enhanced trigger group. The medium-weight National Match barrel provides superior accuracy potential compared to standard barrels, while the parkerized finish offers enhanced corrosion resistance. California compliance modifications ensure legal ownership while maintaining the rifle's essential performance characteristics.

The M1A platform has demonstrated consistent accuracy potential of 2-3 MOA with quality ammunition, making it suitable for precision applications out to 800 yards. The gas-operated action cycles reliably with various ammunition weights from 147-grain to 180-grain bullets. The synthetic stock resists weather effects while maintaining consistent bedding pressure, and the parkerized finish withstands field conditions without compromising function.
