Chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO), the M1A retains many of the characteristics that made the M14 a reliable and versatile firearm, including a rotating bolt, a gas-operated action, and the ability to deliver accurate semi-automatic fire. Springfield Armory introduced the M1A in the 1970s as a high-quality option for target shooting, hunting, and tactical use, appealing to both enthusiasts and professional users.
This particular M1A, manufactured in 1994, features a black synthetic stock with a durable rubber butt pad for added comfort during shooting.

It comes with a 5rd & 20rd detachable magazine, offering capacity options for range shooting or hunting purposes.
The M1A’s design and construction reflect Springfield Armory’s dedication to maintaining the legacy of the M14 while adapting it for modern applications. Its .308 chambering offers excellent versatility, capable of handling everything from long-range precision shooting to medium-sized game hunting.
