New York has its own rules on rifles, and this M1A Loaded is built to comply with them. Springfield Armory chambers it in .308 Winchester and finishes it in blue and black.

The M1A is a civilian descendant of the M14 service rifle. The Loaded model has been the usual choice for shooters who want a good set of sights and a trigger that improves with use. This one is for buyers who live in New York or who want to match its configuration.

Check your local rules and confirm your dealer can take the transfer. A rifle like this is a fine hunting rifle for deer in open country and a steady range gun when you want to practice at distance. Pick up a good sling and a cleaning kit while you wait for it to arrive at your dealer.

It ships to your FFL dealer, never to your door. The dealer completes the background check and the transfer with you. Give the photos a slow look at full size; they show finish and wear better than any paragraph can.
