From 1959 to 1970 the M14 served with distinction as the standard issue rifle of the United States military. When Springfield ArmoryA(R) in Geneseo, IL made the civilian legal variant - the M1A(TM) - available to the public in 1974, shooters were finally able to enjoy the same rifle that so many servicemen had utilized in the past.The Standard Series is a faithful semi-auto only recreation of the original M14. Keep in mind that the Standard M1A(TM) is as well suited for a day at the range as it is for filling that special place in your military collection. All the design features that the Armed Services found essential for a battle rifle make the Standard M1A(TM) a great shooter. The windage and elevation adjustable rear sight minimizes the effort required to zero the rifle. The two-stage military trigger, detachable box magazine, op-rod and roller cam bolt call to mind the rich history of the M1A(TM) while providing functional ease of operation and legendary reliability.You may be looking for a special addition to your collection, or you may be looking for a hard-working rifle that will pull duty on the range, in the treestand or in your truck. The Standard M1A(TM) is ready for its next mission.
