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

Overview

The Springfield M1A Loaded 308 with Black Composite Stock (New York Compliant) represents a carefully configured variant of the classic M14-pattern rifle, engineered to meet New York state regulatory requirements while preserving the accuracy and reliability expected from a Springfield Armory firearm. This semi-automatic, gas-operated rifle chambers the 7.62x51mm NATO (.308 Winchester) cartridge and utilizes a forged receiver machined from investment-cast 8620 steel. The New York Compliant model incorporates a pinned muzzle brake, a fixed 10-round magazine, and a non-threaded barrel to satisfy state-specific restrictions without compromising the platform’s fundamental design. The black composite stock reduces overall weight compared to traditional walnut stocks and provides enhanced durability in adverse environmental conditions.

As a factory-built configuration from the Loaded series, the springfield m1a loaded 308 with black composite stock (new york compliant) includes a medium-weight, 22-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing bullet weights from 147 to 175 grains. The barrel is finished with a matte black oxide coating for corrosion resistance. This rifle delivers a consistent trigger pull from a two-stage military-style trigger group, with the first stage averaging 4.5 to 5.5 pounds of resistance before the second stage breaks cleanly.

Who It Is For

This model appeals to shooters who value the proven M14 operating system but need a factory-compliant configuration that avoids the need for aftermarket modifications. It is suitable for the experienced rifleman who appreciates the manual of arms common to military-pattern rifles and who demands a platform that can deliver sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality factory ammunition.
