Springfield Armory's SOCOM 16 CQB M1A is power in a small package. It was designed for the shooters that wanted a compact rifle but didn't want to settle for a smaller caliber. Even with all the power in a 7.62 NATO, the shooter can expect less felt recoil and muzzle rise due to the unique design. The SOCOM 16 CQB M1A is almost 10" shorter than the Standard M1A which allows for greater maneuverability. The SOCOM 16 CQB comes with a standard commercial width buffer tube allowing for the use of any AR compatible stock to be used. The AK-style grip also allows for any the grip to be replaced with any standard AK-sytle grip.
The SOCOM 16 CQB also comes with a custom ballistic nylon tactical case which allows for the storage of not only the rifle but also the owner's manual and up to 3 magazines.

About Springfield Armory
In 1777, just after the start of the American Revolution George Washington established the United States' first armory in Springfield, Massachusetts. The Springfield Armory during the Revolutionary War was used as a site to secure ammunition and gun carriages vital to the struggle for independence. After the Revolutionary War, the Springfield Armory began manufacturing muskets for the new nation and quickly became a center for weapons development in the United States for nearly two centuries, producing some of the nation's most prolific firearms including the M1911 pistol, M1 Garand rifle, and the M14 rifle..
After the Springfield Armory was closed in 1968 by the federal government, the Reese family of Geneseo, Illinois licensed the name and insignia of Springfield Armory. Since then the company has dedicated itself to protecting the legacy of the Springfield Armory by continuing to develop high quality firearms and reproducing some of the Armory's most famous firearms like the 1911 pistol and their semi-automatic version of the M14, the M1A rifle. Springfield Armory has won multiple American Rifleman's Golden Bullseye Awards and has become one of the largest firearm manufactures in the world.
