Springfield M1A Overview |
||
I guess that every ex-military personnel gets attached to their service weapon, the M14 was no exception. This 7.62X51mm (.308), was the field ready, military issue model that was made very popular in the military during the late 50’s through the end of the Vietnam era. The M16 was certainly prevalent during the same time, but was lighter in weight and caliber, making it easier to carry not only the weapon, but in carrying a significant amount of ammunition. The M16 also disassemble much easier and faster, though its propensity to jam was much greater. In 1974, Springfield Armory introduced the M1A. The M1A is the civilian model of the military M14. Of course the major difference is the select fire system, which enabled the M14 to function in a fully automatic mode. The M1A became instantly popular with civilians, and has undergone just a few changes through the last 40 years. |
