Overview

This rifle is a direct descendant of the legendary M14, refined for National Match competition standards. The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with stainless steel barrel features a heavy, air-gauged stainless steel barrel that provides superior rigidity and heat dissipation. The barrel is paired with a National Match front sight and a fully adjustable hooded rear aperture sight, ensuring precise windage and elevation adjustments.

Glass-fiber hand guards and a USGI walnut stock complete the package, offering both durability and classic aesthetics.

Features & Specs

• Stainless Steel Barrel: The heavy, air-gauged 22-inch stainless steel barrel is the defining feature of this National Match model. It provides consistent bore dimensions, reduced fouling, and excellent corrosion resistance, which contributes directly to the rifle’s sub-MOA accuracy potential with match ammunition.
• Match-Grade Trigger: The two-stage trigger is factory-tuned to a crisp 4.5-5.0 pound pull weight with minimal overtravel. This allows for a clean break without disturbing the sight picture, essential for precision shooting at 600 yards and beyond.
• National Match Sights: The front sight is a National Match .062-inch blade, while the rear is a fully adjustable hooded aperture sight with 1/2 minute windage and 1 minute elevation click adjustments. This sight system is designed for rapid, precise corrections under match conditions.
• Receiver and Action: The forged steel receiver is machined to exacting specifications and features a proprietary lug system for consistent bolt lockup. The action is glass-bedded into the stock to minimize shift and maintain zero.
• Stock and Handguards: The rifle comes with a handsome USGI walnut stock with a pistol grip and a glass-fiber upper handguard. The stock is fitted with a ventilated steel buttplate for improved recoil management.
