Springfield Armory M1A Loaded LE 308 Winchester Semi-Auto Rifle - 20+1 Rounds, 22" Barrel, Fixed Stock, Synthetic, Green

Questions & Answers

• Q: The M1a loaded is listed as having a fiberglass stock, model MA9229LE. Is this correct? I was under the impression that this was a plastic synthetic stock. It matters because I have been led to believe that Fiberglass is significantly more stiff and produces better accuracy. Thank you for your help!

  Springfield does not list this model number on their site so I strongly suggest contacting springfield and asking them the FULL specs including the stock (800) 680-6866 / (309) 944-5631 or Email: Sales@springfield-armory.com

  A:

  Alex, I did a search at Springfield Armory using the model numbers that is provided in Bud's description. Interestingly, The model number used in the top part of the description is MA9229LE which is a law enforcement model (currently out of stock) with a chrome-moly barrel. While this steel does contain chromium, it is not in great enough quantities to provide the corrosion resistance found in stainless steel. This is a very strong, wear resistant barrel but just doesn't have the anti-corrosion characteristics of stainless. When you dig down on the "detailed" description on Bud's web page they list the model as MA9229. Springfield show this as the MA1 9229 model. They do not show this particular model with a stainless barrel unless you look at the precision target shooting models that come in desert tan (earth tone?) or olive green but they do no have a conventional stock. They come with adjustable cheek rest and different hand guard. I strongly suggest that you call Bud's customer service and have them clarify/verify exactly what configuration it comes in. If Bud's published Springfield's SKU number, it might have been easer to pin it down.
