![]() The trigger is a military two-stage, that is matched tuned to 4.5-5 lbs – and I’ve actually found on most M1A models that I’ve examined (and owned) the trigger pull as lighter. However, when you compare it to most standard high-powered hunting rifles, the barrel is actually shorter, and when you compare it to most magnum caliber high-powered hunting rifles, the barrel is actually shorter on the M1A. With a 22″ barrel, the M1A seems like it’s actually longer than it actually is. The front sight and non-hooded rear sight assemblies are also national match, along with the flash suppressor. ![]() There is also a national match trigger assembly, although not as nicely done as the one I had on my M14 competition rifle. The Springfield Armory M1A Loaded rifle offers exceptional value and performance with it’s American walnut stock, air gauged medium weight national match barrel in either stainless steel or chrome poly. I competed in quite a few high-powered rifle matches while on the team, and usually won in my division – I was (and still am) into guns and do a lot of shooting. We were also supplied with all the ammo we wanted – how I wish I had taken advantage of that – I’d probably still have match ammo to this day – hindsight is wonderful! Our match-grade M14s could easily shoot 1 MOA if we did our part. We were issued match-grade M14s and M1911s for competition. I was also a member of the Illinois State Rifle and Pistol Team, when I worked full-time for the Illinois National Guard. The Springfield Armory M1A is a semiauto only version of the venerable M14 – for the most part. Then again, a lot of the bigger guys also complained about the weight of the M14. The M14 was heavy, at least for me, and some other soldiers who were small-framed and who didn’t weigh a lot. ![]() Ord weighing in at a whopping 130 pounds. About the only complaint I had at that time was the weight of the M14, which was close to 10 pounds. I cut my teeth on the old military M14 in basic training at Ft. Okay, up for review today is the Springfield Armory M1A “Loaded” 7.62×51 NATO battle rifle. However, I believe most gun companies are quick to resolve any problems you might have with their firearms – at least based on my own experiences over many years dealing with gun companies. Bad guns slip through the QC at the best firearms factories – it’s just a fact of life. The sample gun I tested might have operated without any malfunctions, and your same model of the same gun might have problems. While I might think that a particular gun I tested is right for me, it may not be right for someone else. I certainly don’t expect everyone to agree with my findings, especially when it comes to guns and knives. My opinion is based on many years experience, and based on my evaluation of the products being tested. When you read my reviews, you are reading what I have learned from testing a particular product. Instead, I call myself a serious student. Although I’ve been writing about firearms and knives for almost 20-years now, and I’ve been a shooter for more than 40 years, I don’t consider myself an “expert” of any sort. When you’re reading a review of any product, be it a gun, knife, camping gear, or whatever, you must remember, you are reading the opinion of the writer.
