The traditional steel bow two-stage trigger was smooth with a 5 lbs. The gun arrived with a 10-round steel magazine that rocks into place much like that of an AK-47. The charging handle is on the right, the safety lever is mounted in front of the trigger guard and the magazine release is mounted directly behind the magazine well. The controls have a typical M1A configuration. For this review, I ran the rifle exclusively with the excellent Vortex red-dot optic. The third option is to use the 4" long Picatinny compatible rail located in front of the action to mount a scout scope with extended eye relief. This compact sight provides 10 illumination levels, fully multi-coated optics, a water resistant single-piece chassis and ships with a protective rubber cover. Dovetailed into the receiver above the ejection port is a Springfield Armory Clip Guide red-dot mount supporting a Vortex Optics Venom 3 MOA red-dot sight (VMD-3103). 125" blade with a Trijicon tritium insert in front and a fully adjustable. The iron sights consist of a winged XS Sight Systems. This version of the rifle arrives with two sighting systems installed and accommodations for a third. The muzzle of the 16.25" medium-profile carbon-steel barrel is fitted with a slim multi-port brake that brings the total barrel length to just under 18". The carbon-steel components have been treated with a non-reflective black Parkerized finish that blends in neatly with the matte black of the lightweight composite stock. That being said, the company has done a good job of giving it a balanced feel off the bench and making it 2 lbs. No matter how you slice it, the M1A is a big gun and Springfield isn't going to monkey with a proven system by experimenting with lightweight alloys. Like its compatriots, the SOCOM 16 CQB is a semi-automatic rifle that operates using the battle-tested M1A gas piston, a rotating bolt and an all-steel action. Here's a closer look at the Springfield SOCOM 16 CQB M1A model designed specifically for up-close and personal situations. However, with a few adjustments to the rifle's configuration, it becomes a potent close-quarters combat platform.
With its medium-weight National Match barrel and adjustable stock, that rifle can really reach out to far-off targets. Not long ago I spent some quality time on the range with Springfield's long-range Loaded M1A target model. Often lauded for its durability and accuracy, the M1A platform chambered in 7.62 NATO/.308 Win.
