Our Assessment: The Springfield M1A Standard is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Win), based on the military M14. This particular rifle has been installed into a SAGE Enhanced Battle Rifle (EBR) chassis, a modular aluminum stock system developed to modernize the M14 platform. The SAGE EBR stock, introduced in the early 2000s, was designed to enhance the accuracy, modularity, and ergonomics of the aging M14 rifle. It features an adjustable stock, improved optics mounting options, and a more rigid aluminum chassis that enhances accuracy by free-floating the barrel. The U.S. military adopted the M14 EBR, primarily for use by designated marksmen and special operations forces, particularly in Afghanistan, where its longer effective range and superior penetration over 5.56mm rifles proved valuable in mountainous terrain.

This Springfield M1A also comes with its original black synthetic stock and a traditional wood M14-style stock, providing flexibility in configuration. The inclusion of these stocks allows the rifle to be returned to a more classic appearance or remain in the modernized EBR chassis for tactical applications. The M1A in an EBR chassis is a popular choice among civilian marksmen and collectors who appreciate both the historical legacy of the M14 and the practical advantages of the EBR system. Please see our high quality photos via the link and best of luck with your bidding!!!-R.L.
