Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM Complete Specs and Full Gun Specifications

Before Springfield Armory introduced the M1A SOCOM 16 in 2004, 7.62 NATO power in a package this small was previously unthinkable. Shooters who need a compact rifle no longer have to settle for a lesser caliber, although they can expect less felt recoil and less muzzle rise, thanks to the SOCOM 16's unique design. The SOCOM 16 starts with a specially-engineered 16" Parkerized carbon steel barrel that is mated to the gas system with a proprietary muzzle brake. The muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and keeps muzzle rise so flat that follow-up shots have never been so easy. The enlarged ghost ring aperture rear sight and XS Tritium Insert in the front sight give you the quick target acquisition capability you want and need under any conditions. If your mission calls for optics, the SOCOM 16 features Springfield Armory's forward scout-style Picatinny mount. Of course, the SOCOM 16 also has the legendary performance and reliability that M1A shooters have come to love and expect. If your mission requirements call for a compact tactical rifle, but won't let you sacrifice power, you need the SOCOM 16.
