Springfield Armory commemorates 50 years of crafting the M1A with the Springfield 50th Anniversary M1A Rifle. This semi-automatic recreation of the legendary M14 rifle is presented as a limited edition piece, with a certificate of authenticity and a matching serial number highlighting the craftsmanship and historical significance the M1A has upheld over the decades.
A notable highlight of the Springfield 50th Anniversary M1A Rifle is the distinguished 50th Anniversary Crossed Cannon medallion embedded within its hand-selected walnut stock. This medallion adds to the rifle’s aesthetic appeal and signifies its special edition status. The rifle features a 22-inch air-gauged National Match barrel, noted for its performance in long-range matches, complemented by a match-grade aperture rear sight.
The 50th Anniversary M1A Rifle also includes a reproduction M14 Army TM-9-1005-223-12 technical manual, reminiscent of the original M1A rifles produced 50 years ago. This manual is an invaluable resource for enthusiasts who appreciate the historical and technical aspects of the M1A. The rifle has a two-stage precision-tuned match trigger, breaking cleanly between 4.5 and 5 pounds, ensuring a crisp shooting experience.
Each Springfield 50th Anniversary M1A Rifle comes with a comprehensive cleaning kit, which includes a multi-tool, cleaning rod, bore brush, and chamber brush, all designed to fit within the rifle’s stock. An OD Green cotton canvas rifle sling is also included. Additionally, the rifle features an engraved operating rod marked “1 of 1974”.
The rifle’s 22-inch barrel is topped with a flash hider featuring an integral bayonet lug, ready to accept the period-accurate M6 bayonet. Priced at $2,499, the Springfield Armory 50th Anniversary M1A Rifle combines the rich legacy of the M14 with modern precision and craftsmanship.
