Own the modern evolution of a U.S.-service-rifle legend. The Springfield Armory M1A® Standard Issue — Sports South Exclusive blends the timeless M14/M1A operating system with a durable, all-weather configuration: a 22" black Cerakote® steel barrel, steel receiver with Picatinny rail for optics, and a rugged Fixed GB black speckled synthetic stock. Chambered in .308 Winchester / 7.62×51mm with a 10+1 capacity, MA9112 delivers the proven reliability, downrange authority, and classic ergonomics enthusiasts expect—refined for today’s range, field, and defensive roles.

Why This Sports South Exclusive Stands Out

• Legendary M1A Gas System: Proven, piston-driven reliability with smooth recoil impulse and rock-solid durability.

• .308 Win / 7.62 NATO Power: Trusted ballistics for mid- to long-range accuracy, hunting, and practical precision training.

• 22" Black Cerakote Barrel: Corrosion- and wear-resistant finish that shrugs off weather and hard use while maintaining a clean, low-glare profile.

• Optics-Ready Receiver: Steel receiver with Picatinny rail gives you the flexibility to mount LPVOs, red dots with magnifiers, or traditional scopes.

• Fixed “GB” Synthetic Stock: A tough, black speckled composite stock balances the rifle, resists moisture/temperature swings, and keeps weight consistent season to season.

• 10-Round Magazine: Compliant capacity for many jurisdictions and perfect for bench work, prone shooting, and hunting where lower capacity is preferred.

Note: Sight configuration and included accessories can vary by lot or distributor. Confirm current spec sheet with your retailer.

Setup Tips (Non-Instructional)

1. Optics: A 2–10× or 3–15× scope complements the 22" barrel for distance; LPVOs (1–8×/1–10×) offer speed + reach.

2. Zeroing: Start at 100 yards and confirm at 300+; keep a dope card for your chosen load.

3. Mags & Ammo: Use quality M1A-pattern magazines and test 147–175gr loads; many rifles shine with 168–175gr match bullets.

4. Sling & Light: Add a two-point sling for stability; rail-mounted lights (where applicable) expand low-light capability.

Care & Maintenance

• Gas System: Follow Springfield’s guidance for cleaning the piston/cylinder to maintain consistent function.

• Bore/Chamber: Use quality solvent and patches; protect the crown and throat.

• Torque & Witness: After initial range sessions, check optic mount torque; paint-pen witness marks make quick inspections easy.

• Stock/Hardware: Inspect action screws and handguard fit after high round counts.
