Springfield Armory M1A Loaded 308 California Compliant

Springfield Armory M1A Loaded — California Compliant

The M1A Loaded represents the pinnacle of what a modern interpretation of America's most storied rifle platform should be. Springfield Armory has engineered a rifle that honors the tradition of the M1A while incorporating the precision upgrades that serious shooters demand.

Precision Engineering

At the heart of this rifle lies a 22-inch National Match medium-weight barrel, air-gauged for consistency and fitted with a 1:11-inch twist rate optimized for .308 Winchester ammunition. The barrel is topped with a California-compliant muzzle brake that manages recoil while meeting state regulations.

Match-Grade Sights

The M1A Loaded comes equipped with a National Match blade front sight and a match-grade aperture rear sight. Both are readily adjustable—the rear sight offers half-minute-of-angle windage adjustment and one-minute-of-angle elevation adjustment without requiring tools. These sights allow you to zero your rifle quickly and make precise field adjustments.

Trigger and Control

The two-stage National Match tuned trigger breaks between 4.5 and 5 pounds, providing the crisp, predictable release that competitive shooters and precision hunters require. The trigger geometry encourages proper technique and rewards consistent trigger control.

Ergonomics and Handling

The walnut furniture provides both aesthetic appeal and functional durability. The fixed stock offers a solid, repeatable cheek weld and shoulder position. The rifle balances well and handles intuitively, whether you're working through a precision course of fire or hunting at extended range.
