Springfield Armory M1A Standard Features

The Springfield Armory M1A is a semi-automatic rifle built on an M1 style receiver that operates on a gas-tappet system based on the M1 Carbine and uses a 2-lug rotating bolt that is almost identical to the M1 Garand.  These rifles are built with a 22 inch barrel to give you plenty of muzzle velocity and are topped with a windage- and elevation-adjustable iron sight setup and capped with a 5-prong flash hider.

Springfield Armory M1A Standard Capacity

The M1A Standard is chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) and feeds from USGI M14 pattern magazines.  These double-feed mags have a standard capacity of 20 rounds, however shorter 5 and 10 rounders are available for hunters and owners who live in states with capacity restrictions.
Measuring a touch over 44 inches long with an unloaded weight of 9.3 pounds, the M1A is definitely on the lower end of the mobility spectrum.  With a front-heavy balance, an overall length that’s almost an entire foot longer than an AR15 and a weight that even grown men call excessive, the M1A is most easily fired from a bench rest.  Walking with this rifle in your hands can quickly cause fatigue and the length can make it very difficult to navigate tight spaces.

Springfield Armory M1A Standard Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The Springfield M1A has an identical control setup to the M14 service rifle with the absence of a giggle switch.  The safety is located along the front of the trigger guard and swings forward to fire and back to engage the safety and can easily be flipped by both left and right handed users.  The charging handle is on the right side of the rifle and is reciprocating.  The stock can have a traditional profile as well as an Anchutz profile or a tactical setup.


Springfield Armory M1A Standard Fit & Finish

The Springfield M1A is built on a machined receiver made of 8620 tool steel and is heat treated and parkerized to improve durability and retain surface oil.  The stocks can be made of American Walnut or can be made of a high-strength fiberglass reinforced composite.  The barrels are chrome lined to reduce pitting and improve reliability.
