Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 308 With FDE Composite Stock

The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 308 with FDE composite stock delivers the proven battle reliability of the M14 platform in a compact, modernized package.

Overview

Springfield Armory engineers the SOCOM 16 to perform in close-quarters and medium-range engagements where maneuverability and stopping power are critical. The 16.25-inch barrel with a 1:11 twist rate stabilizes heavy .308 projectiles, while the proprietary muzzle brake reduces felt recoil and muzzle climb. The FDE composite stock houses a steel receiver and a chrome-lined bore, ensuring corrosion resistance and sustained accuracy through thousands of rounds. The Springfield M1A SOCOM 16 308 with FDE composite stock retains the legendary gas-operated rotating bolt system that has served military forces for decades.
