SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A, BLACK (MATTE), SEMI-AUTOMATIC, 308 WINCHESTER. Notes: The M14 rifle is a national icon. The direct descendant of John Cantius Garand's eponymous M1 rifle, the M14 has soldiered on from 1959 until the present. Today's Springfield Armory(R) M1A(TM) Standard Issue 7.62 rifle sports a service-length 22" 1:11"-twist carbon steel six-groove barrel and is just over 44" long. The two-stage military trigger and time-proven design keep your groups tight, while the beautiful stained walnut stock hearkens back to a previous era.
