Springfield M1A Loaded 308 with Black Composite Stock (New York Compliant)

The Springfield M1A Loaded 308 with Black Composite Stock (New York Compliant) is a purpose-built rifle that respects both the classic M14 lineage and the specific legal requirements of New York State. This variant keeps the iconic battle-proven action while swapping the standard stock for a durable black composite unit and adhering to compliant configuration standards. For shooters in restrictive states who still demand the legendary performance of a .308 semi-auto, this is the model you have been hunting for.

Overview

There is something reassuring about the weight and balance of a Springfield M1A. It is a rifle built for hard use, with a receiver machined from a forged carbon steel billet and a gas system that has proven itself across decades of service. The Loaded series takes that foundation and adds match-grade components: a National Match barrel, a precisely fitted front and rear sight assembly, and a two-stage trigger that breaks cleanly. The New York compliant version arrives with a fixed 10-round magazine and a muzzle brake that keeps the .308 recoil manageable. This is the same rifle that has earned a reputation on the range and in the field, now configured for legal ownership in New York without sacrificing its core character.

Features & Specs

• Action and Caliber: Semi-automatic, gas-operated action chambered in .308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm NATO. Reliable cycling with a broad range of commercial and surplus ammunition.
• Barrel and Muzzle: 22-inch National Match medium-weight barrel with a 1:10 twist rate, crowned and air-gauged for accuracy. Muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and rise without compromising compliance.
• Stock and Furniture: Black composite stock with a ventilated handguard. Lighter than walnut, resistant to weather and dings, and fitted with a rubber buttpad for a secure shoulder mount.
• Sights and Trigger: National Match front blade and fully adjustable rear aperture sight. Two-stage military-style trigger with a clean second stage break, approximately 4.5 to 5.5 pounds pull weight.
• Compliance Configuration: Fixed 10-round magazine, muzzle brake, and no flash hider. Designed to meet New York state legal requirements while retaining standard M1A ergonomics.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the New York resident who refuses to settle for a neutered platform. It is for the shooter who wants a .308 that can hold its own at 500 yards, who appreciates the mechanical simplicity of a Garand-style action, and who values a rifle that has been used by competitors, hunters, and marksmen for over half a century. It suits the person who wants one rifle that can serve as a target gun, a long-range trainer, and a reliable tool for the field. If you know the difference between a National Match barrel and a standard one, if you have spent time behind an M1A before, you already know whether this rifle fits. If you are new to the platform and want a compliant model that still delivers the full M1A experience, this is the right place to start.
