Shop SPRINGFIELD M1A™ SOCOM 16 CQB .308 RIFLE and buy guns for sale online from our gun store. The M1A™ SOCOM 16 CQB 7.62 brings the rugged M14 action into the Information Age. The gun’s beating heart is John Cantius Garand’s peerless battle rifle action upgraded with 0.135″ ghost ring sights and a 16.25″ premium carbon steel 1:11″-twist barrel. All this rides inside an Archangel® composite chassis that features a collapsible stock and plenty of room for accessories. The SOCOM 16 CQB is one of the smallest, most compact variants of the Springfield Armory M1A rifle. With a short 16.25” barrel and collapsible stock, this a gun designed for tactical uses and close-quarters conflicts. But the M1A has a solid pedigree for long-distance performance. Some might use the terms M1A and M14 interchangeably, but the M14 is the original military version while the M1A is the semi-auto civilian version of the M14.
