SPRINGFIELD ARMORY NATIONAL MATCH M1A RIFLE, WALNUT STOCK

The National Match M1A is targetted at the competitive shooter, or any shooter who engages in precision shooting. The features of the National Match are designed for precision: the air-gauged barrel; the match grade recoild spring guide; the national match gas system; the precision, "earred" front sight; the hooded precision rear sight; the exceptional national match trigger; and more. All of these features meld together to make a rifle that delivers superior accuracy, time after time.

The barrel and receiver on the National Match M1A models are glass-bedded into the stock to minimze movement of the receiver or barrel due to variations in pressure on the stock, such as variations due to humidity. This is especially important with a model such as this one, which has an American walnut stock.

National Match barrels are measured with an air gauge to assure that the barrel diameter is consistent from end to end, and meets more exacting specifications than standard barrels.

The National Match M1A models also have better quality sights than standard M1A's. (See photos below). The rear sight has 1/2 MOA ("Minute Of Angle") windage and elevation adjustments, rather than the 1 MOA adjustments found on the standard rifles. The aperture on the rear sight features a hood that protects the aperture, and also keeps light from degrading the sight picture. The front sight has a .062" blade for precision aiming, and has "ears" to protect the sight blade.
