The Springfield Armory M1A-A1 Scout Squad combines the legendary power and reliability of the M1A with the quick handling and fast sight acquisition of a scout style rifle. From the two-stage military trigger to the aperture style rear sight (adjustable for windage and elevation), you'll find the Scout Squad is packed with all the standard features that make the M1A great. This NY compliant rifle has a non-threaded, non muzzle break, barrel that is shortened to 18 inches, and a forward position scope mount which brings you the added versatility of extended eye-relief optics.
