The rear sight adjusts for windage and elevation. The night sight is sufficient to confirm front sight on center mass at typical indoor, home-defense distances. The front sight post has a tiny tritium insert, adding modern convenience to the gun without detracting from its appearance. The rear ghost ring aperture sight is adjustable for elevation and windage, and for those with great eyes or reading glasses, there’s a tiny scale to gauge windage. It’s equipped with practical iron sights. The modest rail and muzzle brake give an updated appearance while not detracting from the design. Springfield managed to strike a perfect neo-classic balance with the standard M1A frame and a nice selection of choices for the composite stock including black, OD green, flat dark earth and multicam. The SOCOM also features 4-inches of Picatinny rail on top, plus a tactical style front sight/flash suppressor unit. Most notably, the barrel is 16.25 inches, compared to 22 inches on the Standard M1A, but from butt to action, the two models are the same size. The SOCOM differs from its full-size predecessor in a few ways. However, its versatility is limited by a few factors.
Springfield’s re-interpretation of the venerable M1A will appeal to many. The SOCOM 16 version of the Springfield Armory M1A series, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, is a ruggedly handsome and powerful entry in the carbine class.
