SPRINGFIELD ARMORY LOADED M1A RIFLE, BLACK COMPOSITE STOCK, CARBON BARREL

Springfield Armory Loaded M1A rifle with carbon steel barrel and black composite stock

The Springfield Armory Loaded M1A models give you most of the upgrades found on the National Match rifles, and cost a couple of hundred dollars less.

Like the National Match M1A, the Loaded M1A has a National Match trigger group that's been tuned to give a more predictable and crisper break point, with a smooth 4 1/2 pound trigger pull.

The Loaded models have air-gauged National Match barrels "Air-gauged" means that the barrels have been measured using a probe that detects variances in barrel diameter, and the National Match barrels are within tighter tolerances than standard barrels for diameter. (All barrels are measured with an air gauge. When a manufacturer uses the term "air gauged", it means that the barrel meets more exacting standards than other barrels from the manufacturer).

Loaded models also feature National Match front and rear sights, although the rear sight is not hooded on the Loaded models. The rear sight is adjustable for windage with 1/2 MOA ("Minute of Angle") cicks, and 1 MOA elevation clicks. The front sight has "ears" on it to protect the .062" sight post.

The Loaded M1A rifles also have National Match flash suppressors.

This Loaded model has a carbon steel barrel and black composite stock. The black composite stock custom M1A stock from Smith Enterprises Inc models are popular for customizing, as they're less expensive than the walnut stocked M1A's. Here's a Loaded model that's been put into a Smith Enterprises Inc. aluminum collapsible stock:
