About this product
Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas BarrelThe Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel represents a precision evolution of the legendary M14 platform. Built by Springfield Armory, this semi-automatic rifle is engineered for shooters who demand consistent sub-MOA accuracy at extended distances. The integration of a match-grade Douglas barrel transforms the robust M1A action into a dedicated long-range tool, delivering the reliability of a battle-proven system with the precision of a custom-built marksman rifle.
Overview
This rifle is not a standard M1A. It is the M21 Long Range Match variant, purpose-built for competitive shooting, precision tactical applications, and serious target work. The hallmark of this model is the heavy, premium Douglas barrel, hand-fitted to the receiver and chambered in .308 Winchester. Combined with a tuned trigger, a fully adjustable stock, and a proprietary gas system, the Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel bridges the gap between a service rifle and a purpose-built precision instrument. It retains the robust operating rod and rotating bolt system of the original M1A while delivering the accuracy required for engagements beyond 600 yards.
Features & Specs
- Douglas Premium Barrel: The 22-inch, heavy-contour, air-gauged Douglas barrel is the defining feature of this model. It is button-rifled and hand-lapped for exceptional uniformity, reducing fouling and maintaining accuracy over long strings of fire. The barrel is also free-floated within the handguard to eliminate pressure points.
- Adjustable Precision Stock: The McMillan or Springfield-branded adjustable stock provides a length-of-pull comb height adjustment and a bedding block system. This allows the shooter to achieve a consistent cheek weld and a stable platform for the action, critical for repeatable long-range accuracy.
- Two-Stage Match Trigger: The trigger group is factory-tuned to a crisp, two-stage pull with minimal overtravel. This enables precise shot release without the creep or grit found on standard service triggers.

It also suits law enforcement or military marksmen who require a reliable, hard-hitting precision rifle that can withstand field conditions.
