Our Assessment: This Springfield Armory M1A Loaded MA9222 is chambered in .308 Winchester and represents one of the finest factory configurations available in the M1A lineup while retaining the classic appearance of the U.S. M14 service rifle. The rifle features a 22-inch National Match barrel, National Match sights, a beautiful walnut stock set, and a 10-round detachable magazine. The Loaded model was designed to bridge the gap between the standard M1A and the dedicated competition rifles, incorporating many of the accuracy-enhancing features serious shooters desire while preserving the traditional lines and handling characteristics that made the M14 famous.
What makes the Loaded model particularly appealing is that it delivers a significant performance upgrade without altering the rifle’s iconic military profile. The National Match barrel and sights provide enhanced accuracy potential and a more refined sight picture, while the walnut stock maintains the timeless appearance of a classic M14.

Many enthusiasts consider the M1A Loaded to be as refined as an M1A can become without sacrificing the traditional look of the platform, making it an excellent choice for shooters who appreciate both performance and history in equal measure.
