Springfield Armory M1A Scout 18” 7.62 NATO/.308 Win Like New with Factory Soft Case
Description: The Springfield M1A is the classic semi-auto only version of the famed M14 rifle used by the U.S. military before the introduction of the M16. The M1A was considered one of the big three along with the HK91 (semi-auto G3) and semi-auto variants of the FAL. The three were popular and in widespread use long before the AR10 rifle came into common use. The original M14 was built as a replacement for the M1 Garand and chambered for the new 7.62 NATO round which was intended to allow the rifle to be more controllable in full-auto fire than the .30-06-chambered T20E2 prototype built during World War 2. That rifle was based on an M1 Garand modified to use BAR Model 1918 20-round magazines. In the end, the M14 still had poor controllability in full-auto fire and was replaced by the M16 beginning in 1968. However, Springfield Armory saw the potential for a semi-auto-only version to become a popular civilian hunting rifle and they began production of the M1A in 1974. It has been a popular rifle ever since, even with the recent surge in AR10 sales. The rifle shown here is the Scout model. MSRP for this model is $1,945.00 according to the Springfield . The Scout model features an 18” carbon steel barrel with a 1-in-11” right-hand twist, designed to provide the perfect balance between accuracy at range and portability. The front sight is based on the National Match 0.062” blade used in the original National Match M1 Garand rifles of the 1960s. The rear sight is a Military-Grade .0690 Aperture which MOA adjustable for both windage and elevation. There is a forward scout-style picatinny rail for mounting a scope or red dot sight. The Scout is fitted with Springfield Armory’s classic match-grade 2-stage trigger. The rifle shown here was briefly owned but has had few (if any) rounds fired through it since leaving the factory. It comes with one 10-round magazine and one 20-round magazine. It also comes with the factory soft case, as well as the Springfield manual and other factory paperwork.
