Springfield Armory M1A Socom 16 Semi-Auto Rifle Available in Stock
The Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 Semi-Auto rifle is a compact version of the classic M1A rifle. Which itself is a civilian version of the M14 military rifle. Here are some key features and details about the SOCOM 16:
- Barrel Length: As the name suggests, the SOCOM 16 features a 16.25-inch barrel, making it shorter and more maneuverable than the standard M1A, which typically has a 22-inch barrel.
- Caliber: It fires the .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO) cartridge, known for its power and effectiveness in both hunting and tactical applications.
- Stock: The SOCOM 16 often comes with a fiberglass stock, designed to be more durable and resistant to environmental conditions than wood. Some models may feature an adjustable stock or even an option for a composite stock.
- Muzzle Brake: This model is equipped with a flash suppressor and a muzzle brake to help reduce recoil and muzzle rise, enhancing accuracy and control.
- Sights: It typically includes a ghost ring rear sight and a front post sight, providing a clear sight picture for quick target acquisition.
- Overall Design: The SOCOM 16 is designed to be a more compact and portable version of the M1A. Suitable for close to medium-range engagements. Its shorter barrel and overall length make it easier to handle in confined spaces.
- Weight: It’s lighter and more manageable than the full-length M1A models, weighing around 8 pounds.
- Operation: Like other M1A models, it operates on a gas-operated, semi-automatic action, meaning it fires one round per trigger pull and relies on the gas system to cycle the action.
The SOCOM 16 is popular among shooters who appreciate the historical significance of the M1A but need a more compact and versatile rifle for modern uses.
