Springfield M1A Standard 308 With Highlander Camo Composite Stock

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock represents a modern evolution of the classic American battle rifle, purpose-built for shooters operating in varied terrains. Chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO, this semi-automatic platform retains the proven reliability of the original M14 design while integrating a lightweight, weather-resistant composite stock finished in a versatile camouflage pattern. For California customers seeking a compliant, high-performance rifle, the Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock delivers field-ready capability without sacrificing accuracy or durability.

Overview

Springfield Armory’s M1A Standard model has long been the benchmark for .308 semi-automatic rifles, and the Highlander Camo variant extends that legacy with a stock designed for low-visibility operations in woodland, brush, and transitional environments. The 22-inch carbon steel barrel, gas-operated action, and forged receiver remain unchanged from the standard configuration, ensuring the same sub-MOA potential that has made the M1A a favorite among marksmen. The Highlander Camo Composite Stock reduces overall weight by approximately 1.5 pounds compared to the traditional walnut stock, improving handling without compromising the rifle’s balance.

Features & Specs

The Springfield M1A Standard 308 with Highlander Camo Composite Stock is built around a forged, heat-treated receiver and a chrome-lined bore for extended service life. Key specifications include a 22-inch barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, four-round detachable box magazine (California-compliant configuration), and adjustable rear peep sight with a wing-protected front post. The composite stock features textured gripping surfaces, a raised cheek piece for optic compatibility, and sling swivel studs for tactical or hunting accessories.
