Springfield's M1A series of rifles, a semi-automatic rifle inspired by the classic U.S. Military M14, offers shooters a chance to own an icon. The M1A SOCOM 16 takes the M1A platform and shrinks it down to a remarkably compact and portable size. 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. The M1A SOCOM 16 CQB features amazing power in a close quarters-sized package. Featuring a short 16.25 barrel and shortened gas system, the CQB is equipped with a pistol-gripped composite stock with an integrated Archangel collapsible five-position buttstock. Inspired by the shortened Tanker Garand rifles of WWII, the M1A Tanker combines handiness and maneuverability with full-size firepower. The Tanker configuration features a vintage walnut stock, front XS post sight with Tritium insert, ghost ring rear sight, and a carbon steel barrel.
