Springfield Armory M1a 308 Bl 10-Round Walnut Stock Rifle

The Springfield M1A in .308 Winchester with walnut furniture and 10-round magazine represents the modern iteration of a proven .308 battle rifle platform. Built around a carbon steel barrel with 6-groove rifling, this rifle delivers the ballistic performance and reliability that have made the M1A a standard in military, law enforcement, and civilian tactical applications for decades. The walnut stock provides a traditional aesthetic while the adjustable sights enable rapid sight picture acquisition across varied engagement distances.

The .308 Winchester cartridge operates at significantly higher energy levels than intermediate calibers, making the M1A suitable for longer-range precision work, medium-game hunting, and defensive scenarios where penetration and stopping power are operational requirements. The 6-groove rifling supports consistent bullet stabilization across factory ammunition loads. Adjustable sights allow windage and elevation corrections without requiring an optics mount, though the rifle accepts standard tactical rails for mounting glass or electronic optics. At 16.63 lbs with a 46-inch overall length, the rifle balances shootability in the supported position against portability in vehicle and field deployment.

Operators purchasing an M1A .308 typically require a rifle capable of fulfilling multiple roles—from precision work at extended range to rapid-fire engagement at closer distances. The platform is favored by those seeking a semi-automatic rifle chambered in a full-power rifle cartridge with proven ergonomics and field-tested reliability. The 10-round magazine configuration meets federal and state capacity restrictions in many jurisdictions while maintaining practical combat loads. Shooters accustomed to AR-platform controls will find the M1A's traditional rifle ergonomics require training, though the established user base and extensive aftermarket support make familiarity accessible.
