Springfield Armory

MSRP $2087

The M1A series of rifles, a semi-automatic rifle inspired by the classic U.S. Military M14, offers shooters a chance to own an icon. Chambered in .308 Win. or 6.5 Creedmoor, the M1A is offered in classic and traditional models as well as tuned precision variants and modern tactical versions.

The M1A™ SOCOM 16 takes the classic M1A to a whole new level. A handy, tactical rifle, the M1A™ SOCOM 16 has a specially-engineered 16.25" barrel that’s mated to the gas system with a proprietary muzzle brake to reduce felt recoil in a big way. It also features the Springfield Armory® forward scout-style picatinny mount, an enlarged ghost ring aperture rear sight, and XS Sights® tritium insert in the front sight to give you lightning fast target acquisition capability. 7.62 NATO power in a package this small was previously unthinkable, but this ultra-modern rifle will have you believing the extraordinary. A solid “truck gun”, this compact rifle won’t allow you to sacrifice power, so do the only reasonable thing — Bring Enough Gun™.

The M1A™ SOCOM 16 7.62 was designed in 2004 to pack .30-caliber horsepower into a package typically reserved for much lesser guns. A tritium-enhanced front sight combined with a ghost ring rear moves the gun fast even in dim light. Featuring a custom-designed 16.25" carbon steel barrel tipped with a small but efficient proprietary muzzle brake, the SOCOM 16 combines toughness with maneuverability.
