Today, shooters who want the extra features, but don't want to pay match-shop prices can find what they need in the Loaded M1A Series from Springfield Armory. It combines the appearance and tradition of the Standard M1A with all the goodies you want to take the rifle to the next level. The M1A Loaded features a medium-weight premium air-gauged National Match barrel for greater accuracy, National Match two-stage trigger, and National Match front sight blade and non-hooded National Match rear.
