December 26, 2022 – Do you own an M1A rifle or a M1A pistol? You’ll love this new video from Springfield Armory. This 9-minute video, part of SA’s Workbench Video Series is a detailed guide for the M1A rifle. This video is for any M1A shooter or owner. The video features Steve Horsman, a firearms expert who provides a step by step guide for the M1A semiauto rifle. The M14 is a descendant of the M1 Garand. It has many improvements that make it a superior firearm for combat and a better rifle for competition. Dick Jones, Shooting Sports USA. The M14 is an evolution of the M1 Garand. It was designed to fire the 7.62×51 (.308Win) round instead the larger.306 Springfield cartridge used in WWI and WWII. The majority of M1As today are chambered for 7.62×51/7.308 Win, but Springfield Armory also makes a 6.5 Creedmoor model. For many years, the semiauto M14 was the “top dog” in iron sights Service Rifle competition. The.223 Rem (5.56×45), AR-type rifles dominate this discipline, but the larger.308 rifle, now known as the M1A is still very popular. Springfield Armory sponsors a major M1A Match at Camp Perry each summer. This popular event features 100+ competitors and offers significant cash prizes. The competition improves firearms and racing improves automobiles. The current crop of Springfield M1As – from the basic to the super-high-end Super Match and Loaded models – reflects this fact. Many still consider the M14 and its variants to be the finest battle rifle in American military history.
