The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel represents the pinnacle of precision semi-automatic rifle engineering from Springfield Armory.

This is a competition-ready firearm that honors the lineage of the US service rifle while incorporating modern manufacturing excellence.

Overview

The Springfield M1A National Match 308 with Stainless Steel Barrel is a dedicated match rifle chambered in .308 Winchester. Springfield Armory has refined the M1A design for over four decades, and the National Match variant represents the apex of that evolution. The stainless steel barrel is not only corrosion-resistant but also free-floated within the handguard to eliminate pressure points that can degrade accuracy. The rifle features a specially selected walnut stock with a tight-grained, oil-finished appearance, and the metal components receive a uniform satin finish that reduces glare in competition settings. Every National Match rifle undergoes function testing and accuracy verification before leaving the factory.

Features & Specs

• Enhanced Trigger and Action: National Match two-stage trigger with a factory pull weight of 4.5 to 5.0 pounds, featuring a tuned sear and hammer. The operating rod and piston are hand-polished for smooth cycling, and the bolt is shot-peened for increased durability.
