A thoroughly upgraded version of the inimitable M1 battle rifle that won World War II, the M14 inspired the Springfield Armory(R) M1A(TM) civilian version in 1974. This variant features an indestructible FDE composite stock along with a crisp two-stage military trigger and 22" carbon steel 1:11"-twist barrel. Tough, accurate and dripping with nostalgia, the M1A Standard Issue is the tool for today's rifleman of distinction. Flat Dark Earth Composite Stock - The FDE composite stock on the M1A(TM) Standard Issue rifle is impervious to weather and abuse. Military Aperture Rear Sight - The military aperture rear sight on the M1A(TM) Standard Issue rifle requires nothing more than a standard set of fingers for adjustment. Flash Suppressor - The long slotted flash suppressor on the M1A(TM) Standard Issue rifle hearkens back to a previous era. It is timelessly effective.
