Overview

Springfield Armory designed the M1A Socom II to fill a specific role: a short-barreled, rail-equipped battle rifle that maintains the accuracy and reliability of the full-size M1A. The Extended Cluster Rail System replaces the standard handguard with a four-sided aluminum rail that extends forward, providing ample real estate for night vision devices, weaponlights, or foregrips. The rifle retains the proven gas-operated rotating bolt system, adjustable rear sight, and forged receiver that have made the M1A a standard among marksmen. The springfield m1a socom ii 308 with extended cluster rail system is chambered in .308 Winchester, offering substantial energy downrange while the 16.25-inch barrel keeps the overall length manageable for vehicle operations or close-quarters work.
