Listed under a Qualified Personnel label, this Scout Squad is the same short M1A that Springfield Armory sells to civilians. It is a semi-automatic chambered in 7.62x51 NATO, with an 18 inch barrel, a 10 round magazine, and a black finish.

Short barrels make a long rifle easier to handle, and the Scout Squad is the choice for shooters who want an M1A they can carry through brush or fit in a vehicle. The M1A pattern is a descendant of the M14, so the sights, controls, and magazine feel familiar to anyone who has handled one.

Read the Qualified Personnel terms before ordering, as they may carry buyer conditions. Take it afield for deer and hogs, or keep it as a general-purpose rifle with plenty of power.

Delivery is to a licensed FFL dealer of your choice. Your dealer handles the transfer paperwork and runs the background check before you take it home. Ask us about fit, wear or what comes with it before you order. If a detail matters to your decision, send a question first and compare the answer with the photos.
