“Tag: springfield M1A”

This week American Rifleman TV gets an inside look at the Civilian Marksmanship Program.

Based on the M14, this semi-automatic rifle is known for its robust construction, long-range performance and its 7.62x51 mm NATO chambering.

Springfield Armory has been making the M1A, the semi-automatic-only successor to the M14, since 1974.

From a recent "I Have This Old Gun" segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV, editors explain the history and heritage of the Springfield Armory M1A.

Maintaining the M1A is not especially difficult if you pay close attention to instructions clearly explained in the owner’s manual. If in doubt, simply contact Springfield Armory’s customer service department.

With most semi-automatic rifles being made of polymer and aluminum these days, there’s still a retro streak among some shooters that clamors for steel and walnut. Based on the M14, Springfield’s M1A fills that niche well, delivering accuracy and reliability—as it has for more than 40 years.
