Our Assessment: The Springfield Armory M1A is a civilian version of the M14, a battle rifle originally developed for the U.S. military in the late 1950s. 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 features a black synthetic stock with a durable rubber buttpad for added comfort during shooting. The synthetic stock enhances the rifle’s resilience in varying environmental conditions, making it suitable for tactical and field use. The rifle is equipped with a 22-inch barrel, a standard length for M1A rifles, designed to provide a balance of accuracy and portability. The flash hider at the barrel’s end reduces muzzle flash. It comes with a 10-round detachable magazine, offering ample capacity 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. With its durable synthetic stock and precision barrel, this is a reliable and adaptable rifle, appealing to a wide range of firearm enthusiasts and collectors.
