Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel

Precision and reliability converge in this semi-automatic rifle, purpose-built for the shooter who demands match-grade accuracy from a proven platform. The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel represents a significant step up from standard M1A models, incorporating hand-selected components and tighter tolerances to deliver consistent performance at extended ranges. Built on the legendary M14 action, this rifle offers a balance of traditional design and modern manufacturing discipline, making it a cornerstone for serious marksmen.

Overview

The Springfield M1A National Match is a direct descendant of the U.S. military M14 service rifle, refined for competitive shooting and precision applications. Chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62 NATO), this model features a heavy, air-gauged stainless steel barrel that provides superior corrosion resistance and thermal stability during sustained fire. The National Match designation indicates a higher level of quality control, including a specially selected receiver, a precisely fitted gas system, and an enhanced trigger assembly. This is not a standard production rifle; it is a dedicated competition-grade firearm engineered for accuracy out of the box.

Features & Specs

Every component of the Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel is selected to optimize shot-to-shot consistency and reliability. The stainless steel barrel is fully machined from a single billet and then hand-lapped to ensure smooth bullet travel. The National Match trigger is adjustable and breaks cleanly at approximately 4.5 to 5 pounds with minimal overtravel. The rifle also includes a heavy, glass-bedded stock that free-floats the barrel for improved accuracy.

• Caliber: .308 Winchester (7.62 NATO) with a 1:11 twist, 22-inch stainless steel barrel
• Action: Semi-automatic, gas-operated with a forged steel receiver
• Stock: Walnut with a heavy, glass-bedded design and a ventilated handguard
• Sights: National Match front blade with a fully adjustable rear aperture sight
• Trigger: Two-stage National Match trigger, factory set for crisp break

The rifle ships with one 10-round magazine and a military-style synthetic stock option is available for shooters who prefer synthetic furniture. The stainless steel barrel is not a cosmetic upgrade; it directly contributes to barrel longevity and consistent accuracy in varying weather conditions.
