Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match .308 with Douglas Barrel

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match .308 with Douglas Barrel represents a pinnacle of semi-automatic precision rifle engineering. Built on the legendary M14 platform and refined by Springfield Armory, this model is purpose-designed for shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy at extended distances. The integration of a premium Douglas match-grade barrel elevates the M21 platform from a standard battle rifle into a dedicated long-range precision instrument, offering the reliability of the M1A system with the accuracy required for competitive marksmanship and tactical applications.

Overview

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match .308 with Douglas Barrel is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm NATO. It utilizes the proven M1A operating system, renowned for its durability and smooth cycling under heavy use. The standout feature is the 22-inch Douglas Air Gauged match-grade barrel, which is cryogenically treated and hand-lapped to ensure consistent bore dimensions and minimal fouling. This barrel, combined with the McMillan M3A fiberglass stock, provides a stable platform for repeatable precision. The rifle includes a National Match front sight and a hooded NM rear sight with a 1-minute windage and elevation adjustment, allowing for precise sight correction at distance.

Features & Specs

This rifle is defined by its component-level specifications, each selected to enhance accuracy, reliability, and shooter control. The Douglas barrel is air-gauged to ensure straightness and consistency, then cryogenically treated to relieve internal stress, resulting in a barrel that maintains accuracy shot after shot. The McMillan stock is bedded with a full-length aluminum bedding block, providing a rigid foundation that free-floats the barrel. The trigger group is a two-stage unit, tuned for a crisp break with minimal overtravel.
