Springfield Armory, M1a Scout Squad, 308 Win, 18 inch, 10+1, Cerakote, Speckled Synthetic

The Springfield Armory AA9112 M1A Scout Squad brings the trusted M1A/M14 platform into a compact, scout-style .308 Win package that works for hunting, range duty, and defensive roles, offering a fast-handling 18" stainless steel barrel with a threaded muzzle brake, a black Cerakote finish, and a forward-mounted Picatinny rail for extended eye relief optics or scout scopes. The two-stage match military trigger and National Match front with aperture-style military adjustable rear sight deliver crisp, predictable breaks and quick sight acquisition, while the 10+1 capacity and ambidextrous safety provide sensible control in the field; the fixed black speckled synthetic stock keeps weight down at about 8.80 lbs and resists the elements for rugged use. Built on a steel receiver with stainless barrel and chambered in 308 Win/7.62x51mm, this semi-auto Scout Squad is ideal for hunters who need reach and follow-up shots, for shooters who prefer a forward-scope layout, and for range owners or competitors seeking an M1A that combines legendary reliability with modern mounting options and practical short OAL handling.
