The M14 rifle first saw service in 1959. A thoroughly upgraded version of the inimitable M1 battle rifle that won World War II, the M14 inspired the Springfield Armory® M1A™ civilian version in 1974. This variant features an indestructible FDE composite stock along with a crisp two-stage military trigger and 22″ carbon steel 1:11″-twist barrel. Tough, accurate and dripping with nostalgia, the M1A Standard Issue is the tool for today’s rifleman of distinction.
