Springfield Armory is holding its Duel–the annual festival of all-things-Springfield–and this year’s contest has more prizes than you can imagine, including some great Springfield Armory guns. This week’s Monday Gun Day giveaway is this M1A National Match. In the market for new .308? Why not enter to win?<\/a> The contest is open all month for various prizes, but the National Match entries must come in on September 7th.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The National Match M1A has the traditional look of the Standard model, but offers subtle improvements.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/full_width]<\/p>\n

If you are looking for an all-purpose .308 that is capable of exceptional accuracy, this is the gun for you. The National Match M1A is just as useful in the gun rack behind the driver’s seat of an old Chevy pick-up as it is at the bench in competition.<\/p>\n

[full_width]<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The M1A National Match Specs.<\/p><\/div>\n

[\/full_width]<\/p>\n

What makes this worthy of the National Match title? It isn’t obvious from the outside. The rear aperture peep sight is a big step up from the standard M1A sights. It allows for a 1\/2 MOA adjustments and is incredibly easy to dial in. Imagine a rear sight that you can adjust as easily as you would a scope. Directly under that rear sight, the receiver has been glass bedded into the walnut stock. Even though the gun looks like a Standard M1A, it has more stability. With the increased potential available from the peep sights, this makes repeat accuracy consistent and easy.<\/p>\n

The barrel has also been beefed up a bit. This barrel is a medium weight barrel with a 1\/11″ twist rate. The model we have in has a carbon steel barrel, but you can opt for a stainless one as well.<\/p>\n

\"Dialing<\/a>

Dialing it in from 200 yards. As you can clearly see, I was hitting high.<\/p><\/div>\n

The trigger breaks clean at 5 pounds. The two-stage design is easy to control. I had no difficulty making standing shots.<\/p>\n

I’m going to admit my bias here and say I’m a sucker for the walnut stock. I’m not highly likely to ever compete with an M1A–competition isn’t my thing–but I do like knocking over hogs. And I like the .308 for that purpose. The M1A would make an excellent rifle for porcine exterminations, especially in areas with shorter sight distances and lots of hogs. There’s nothing like opening up on a sounder of swine, knowing you have the stopping power of the .308 and speed of the M1A’s action.<\/p>\n

The M1A family<\/h2>\n

Where does the National Match fit in the broader context of Springfield’s M1A line up? The M1A (or the M14, as it is often designated) is the rifle that replaced the Garand. Looking back at battle rifle design, I can understand why the M-14 had such a short service life. This decision was as controversial. Those opposed to the M1A design wanted a lighter rifle, and one that fired a smaller, faster round. The way we were fighting wars was evolving, and heavy battle rifles that fired high-powered rifle rounds were being relegated to designated marksmen who could make the most of their long range potential. The rest of the boots-on-the-ground ended up with rifles and carbines, like the AR-15.<\/p>\n

The M1A didn’t fade away, though. In this respect, the M1A is like the 1911. Both platforms are finding new fans, thanks (in no small part) to the efforts of Springfield Armory. They’ve taken the guns to new places with countless updates and new designs. Each update of the M1A looks less and less like the original service rifles, but there’s always a touch of that nostalgia at the gun’s core.<\/p>\n

\"I'm<\/a>

I’m a huge fan of the National Match’s peep sight. The depth helps cut out glare and extra light.<\/p><\/div>\n

The M1A line-up has some unique distinctions. If you go in for the nostalgia of the original design, the Standard would be your gun. If you want a shorter barrel with more options for mounting accessories, the SOCOM would be a logical choice. The National Match bridges the gaps between the extreme competitive spirit of the Super Match rifle, and the utilitarian roots of the Standard M1A.<\/p>\n

If you want to attach an actual scope mount to the National Match, there are numerous options. It isn’t as easy as mounting an optic on a modern AR-15. Most options include mating the scope mount with the receiver in the dovetailed cut just in front of the rear sight. I’ve put mounts on Standard M1As and I highly recommend it. For me, a scope opens up the true potential of the design.<\/p>\n

In a world of trim .308s that are modular and easy to customize, the M1As continue to win converts. They’re rugged, stable, and highly accurate. The M1A has the ability to fight in close quarters, and the staying power and accuracy to reach out to the 300-500 yard range (or much-much farther as your skills increase). While the tiny 5.56 rounds are shedding energy that robs them of their one-shot stopping power at longer distances, the .308 hits like a sledge hammer.<\/p>\n

And that’s why I think the M1A appeals to so many of us. Variants like the National Match are tricked out for accuracy, yet still provide the reliability that has kept the gun in service for more than 40 years. This is a great one-gun solution for anyone looking for a rifle that excels on the range and can still put food on the table. And it offers speed and durability that make it ideal in a crisis, and, if those weren’t enough, it runs on some of the most readily available ammo. What’s not to love?<\/p>\n
