The Springfield Armory® Standard Issue M1A™ is a timelessly effective design, but sometimes circumstances call for something just a little bit shorter. The M1A Scout Squad rifle is 100% M1A, but with the 6-groove 1:11″ twist carbon steel barrel trimmed back to 18″. Featuring military aperture sights with 1-MOA adjustments and a rugged black composite stock, this compact rifle runs great on the hunt, from a vehicle, or around the farm.
