What is the difference between the M1A Precision and the M1A Loaded? They appear to be the same, but have different names?

Hi Robert and welcome. i would seek accurate information directly from Springfield Armory Customer Service at 800-680-6866 9 to 3pm CST or by online inquiry here : https://support.springfield-armory.com/contact-us. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi Robert, for accurate answer, you would need to give the Loaded model number you want the comparison on. On the SA website, there is a Loaded Precision model. If you are talking about this one (looks the same) budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/51426/springfield+armory+mp9820c65+m1a+loaded+semi-automatic+6.5+crd+22+10+1+p , the difference is the caliber, 6.5 Creedmoor. Stay safe & have a great day!

from springfield site the difference is the stock the loaded has the nice wood stock the loaded precision is the loaded wit a precision stock option added "The M1A™ Loaded is available in versions equipped with a Precision Adjustable Stock, which takes the performance capabilities of the rifle to the next level. With a lower Picatinny rail strip, integrated QD slots, an enlarged and funneled mag well, adjustable cheek comb and much more, this stock enhances the capabilities of an already impressive rifle."

Is the weapon MA compliant?

Michael, Should be MA compliant:-----------Rifles that are not “Assault Weapons” are permitted (10-round maximum) and include: ✔ Any .17 or .22 caliber rimfire rifle. ✔ Any Ruger Mini 14 or substantially similar model rifle. ✔ Any Springfield Armory M1A or substantially similar It's on the MA permitted list.

Michael, yes Sir. This rifle is MA compliant to purchase and own. Cheers!

Luca, no Sir. The \\\"combination of \\\"Detachable Magazine\\\" and \\\"Flash Hider\\\" disqualify it in NY. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/search.php?q=M1A++*NY+&type=

It is not legal in NY, it has a detachable magazine and a flash suppressor. This is a link to the NY restrictions that might help you choose a NY compliant firearm. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/new_york_restrictions.pdf
