The DNA is quite obviously Springfield Armorys SOCOM 16, a technological marvel in its own right.
This rifle version retains all the goodness of the SOCOM that we have come to expect.
Significantly shorter overall length of 37.25?
The new rifle offers all the charm of the M1A, but in a truckgun-sized package.
Muzzle brake designed to tame .308 from a 16 barrel?
XS tritium sights, for all conditions?
But all the familiar M1A features are there as well.
The latest M1A combines the compact size of the SOCOM 16 with a classic wooden stock.
Flip-up buttplate on the stock?
When you pick it up, the gun feels like something from a different era.
It evokes a weapon from a different time.
Clay wrung out the M1A Tanker on the range to see what it could do.
And your grandfather would have much rather carried this, by the way.
Functionality at a level we expect of modern weapons, but clearly with the heritage of a bygone time.
Chamber in the venerable .308, this is a do-all gun like we have never seen before.
The muzzle brake is designed to help make the short carbine remarkably controllable.
