The SOCOM 16 starts with a specially engineered 16.25" Parkerized carbon steel barrel that is mated to the gas system with a proprietary muzzle brake. The muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and keeps muzzle rise so flat that follow-up shots have never been so easy. Its enlarged ghost ring aperture rear sight and XS Tritium Insert in the front sight give you the quick target acquisition capability you want and need under any conditions. If your mission calls for optics, the SOCOM 16 features Springfield Armory's forward scout-style Picatinny mount.  Experience the tactical advantage with the M1A SOCOM from Springfield Armory! This rifle is made for both the hunter and the range shooter, both the casual collector and the competition shooter, and anyone in between.
