Our Assessment: The Springfield Armory M1A is a civilian version of the M14, the battle rifle originally developed for the US military in the late 1950s. Chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO), the M1A retains many of the characteristics that made the M14 reliable and versatile, including a rotating bolt, a gas-operated action, and the ability to deliver accurate semi-automatic fire. Springfield Armory Inc. introduced the M1A in the 1970s as a high-quality option for target shooting, hunting, and tactical use, and their modern pieces are just as impressive.

This Springfield Armory M1A Standard Issue Semi-Auto Rifle was made in 2013 and is in Excellent Condition. It features a 22” barrel (25” with the flash hider), 99% of its crisp, original parkerized finish, a black synthetic polymer stock with a checkered semi-pistol grip and forend, a durable rubber buttpad, 11 mags in total, an attached Torel Gunslinger leather sling, clear markings, solid mechanics, and a bright bore with sharp rifling and no erosion (only some minor fouling). This is a beautiful example of the classic Springfield Armory M1A.
