Description

The Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 .308 Win is a compact tactical semi‑automatic rifle that brings the legendary M1A/M14 platform into a more maneuverable form without sacrificing chambering power. Chambered in .308 Win (7.62×51 mm NATO), it features a 16.25″ carbon steel barrel with a proprietary muzzle brake, an enlarged ghost‑ring rear sight with an XS® tritium front post, and a forward scout‑style Picatinny rail for optics. The SOCOM 16’s shortened gas system and tactical design make it suitable for close‑to‑mid‑range engagements while retaining the performance of a full‑power battle rifle.
