Springfield Armory M1A 308 Winchester 22in Black Semi Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle – 10+1 Rounds

Springfield Armory M1A 308 Winchester 22in Black Semi Automatic Modern Sporting Rifle – 10+1 – California Compliant – From 1959 to 1970 the M14 served with distinction as the standard issue rifle of the United States military. When Springfield Armory in Geneseo, IL made the civilian legal variant ? the M1A ? available to the public in 1974, shooters were finally able to enjoy the same rifle that so many servicemen had utilized in the past. As the M14 platform began to dominate competitive rifle shooting, several performance oriented upgrades to the design gained popularity. Today, shooters who want the extra features, but don?t want to pay match-shop prices can find what they need in the M1A Loaded Series from Springfield Armory.

 

California compliant design prevents the magazine release button from being engaged while fully assembled, locking the magazine into the receiver.  To release the magazine from the rifle, the shooter will be required separate the upper from the lower by pulling on an extended (rear) takedown pin with an attached cord to make the process easier.  Once the magazine has been released the rifle can be re-assembled and shot once again.
