• Q: I like the barrel length on the Scout, but seems 22” Loaded is same or less money, with more upgrades? Unless the Scout comes with the “Loaded Upgrades”?? Thanks!!

  A:

  Hi Mark, the Loaded has a 22" National Match air-gauged premium barrel and a flash suppressor.
  The Scout has a 18" 1:11" right-hand six-groove carbon steel barrel and proprietary muzzle brake.
  The sights are the same on both and both come with the same 2 stage trigger.
  So, it seems for less $$$ on the Loaded, you are getting a match grade barrel.
  Stay safe & have a great day!

• Q: Is the barrel of this firearm marked 7.62 on the barrel

  • Answered
  • Asked 09/22/2023 22:51 by Steven E

  A:

  Steven, can't find weather it's actually stamped 308 or 7.62×51. this can fire both 308 and 7.62×51 though. On Springfield's website they refer to this as 308 so I'd imagine it's stamped 308. You can contact Springfield at 1-800-680-6866 or you can email them at (cs@springfield-armory.com) for a definite answer. Hope this helps some.

• Q: How do these like cheaper steel case TULAmmo?

  • Answered
  • Asked 09/10/2023 23:07 by Evan A

  A:

  Evan, this is what Springfield says about steel cased ammo.... Avoid using steel case ammo, it is VERY hard on your chamber and can reduce the life span of your rifle...... But plenty of people have used steel cased ammo with varying results. Some say it jams often with steel cased ammo and some say it runs fine. So honestly just depends on the rifle. Personally I'd probably avoid steel cased ammo unless it's all you can find or have a bunch stocked up but I'd try to keep it to a minimum. Hope this helps.

• Q: Can this be shipped to NJ FFL?

  • Answered
  • Asked 10/17/2020 15:12 by Josh F

  A:

  Josh, good to go in NJ as configured, just don't replace the muzzle brake with a flash hider. Not so sure it is pinned on. A threaded barrel is only 1 evil feature and you are ok. If you replace muzzle brake with a flash hider, that is the 2nd evil feature and it could put you in deep doo doo.

• Q: I just watched the hickok45 video and interested in the scout. Is this NJ compliant?

  • Answered
  • Asked 06/26/2020 03:58 by Robert F

  A:

  Robert, since threaded barrel semi-auto's are not legal in NJ, you would need this model with a non threaded but pinned muzzle device : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/11812 ------- Or non threaded with no muzzle device : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/4043/springfield+armory+m1a+ld+std+762+%2any%2a+walnut

• Q: Is this rifle legal in CT? Not sure if it has a threaded barrel (which is not legal in CT) or if the muzzle brake is pinned.

  • Answered
  • Asked 11/10/2019 03:28 by David B

  A:

  David, It does not appear this rifle is CT compliant. The muzzle stabilizer, as SA refers to the muzzle device as is removable and can be replaced. The barrel is threaded.. Some guys in restricted state get the muzzle device pinned or get the magazine locked in and not worry about the muzzle or the threads. Look at KGB Tactical they offer a kit to replace the magazine latch with a block or the entire trigger group with the block already installed so it is not a detachable magazine. This is the way a buddy went with his M1A in NY. But what a hassle. Not compliant in CT the way it ships.
