Frequently Asked Questions
Springfield M1A National Match for sale
Is the M1A national match discontinued?
Yes, Springfield Armory has discontinued the M1A National Match. The M1A Supermatch has also been discontinued. Some retailer inventory of either model may still be available. Check our marketplace for current listings from sellers who may have remaining stock.
How accurate is a M1A national match?
M1A National Match rifles can deliver around 1.25 MOA accuracy at 100 yards, but this benchmark typically requires a quality optic like a Vortex 4-16x scope. Iron sights can perform well, but expect reduced precision compared to scoped results. Ammunition selection and shooter skill also affect performance.
What are the differences between the M1A Super Match and National Match rifles?
The Super Match uses a heavier match-grade barrel and an oversized walnut stock for greater dimensional stability. The National Match uses a medium-weight barrel and standard walnut stock. Both receive trigger and sight upgrades, but the Super Match is built to tighter tolerances for high-level competition.
Is the Springfield M1A worth the money?
Value depends on your priorities. The M1A excels as a traditional .308 semi-auto but commands premium pricing, typically $1,500-$2,000. Typical accuracy runs 1.5 MOA or more at 100 yards with quality ammunition. It remains the primary civilian M14 platform available. Budget-conscious shooters can find tighter accuracy in other rifles for less money.
What type of ammo is recommended for the M1A National Match?
For the M1A National Match, use .308 Winchester with 168-grain match-grade bullets for 300–600 yards, or 175-grain loads for longer distances. Recommended options include Federal Gold Medal Match 168gr and Hornady Match 168gr. Standard 149-grain NATO ball suits general use. The manual recommends FMJ, hollow point, or ballistic tip bullets.
What is the typical cost of an M1A rifle?
M1A rifles typically cost around $1,750 new, with most listings falling between $1,500 and $2,000 depending on variant and retailer. Standard models run lower; match-grade versions command premium pricing. Used examples average $1,500.
What year was my Springfield M1A made?
You can determine your M1A's manufacture year using publicly available serial number chronology databases, such as the "SA, Inc. M1A serial number born on date database" and "Springfield Armory, Inc. M1A Serial Number Chronology." Look up your serial number in these guides for your manufacture date without contacting customer service.
What is a national match barrel?
A National Match barrel is made to tighter tolerances than standard barrels, with precision-gauged bore and chamber dimensions to improve accuracy. They are used in competition shooting and are typically available in carbon or stainless steel.
