Overview

This Springfield M1A Loaded 308 with Black Composite Stock (New York Compliant) represents a careful balance of heritage and regulation. The rifle incorporates a 22-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, optimized for standard .308 Winchester ammunition. The black composite stock reduces overall weight while providing durability in varied conditions. The New York Compliant designation means this model ships with a pinned and welded muzzle device and a fixed 10-round magazine configuration, making it suitable for Illinois jurisdictions that follow similar capacity restrictions. The action is a gas-operated, rotating bolt system that has been field-proven for decades.
