Description: Guns Listing ID: 496598 SPRINGFIELD ARMORY SOCOM 16 The Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 is a modern version of the iconic M1A rifle, chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO. It is a tactical, semi-automatic rifle designed for military-style precision and performance. Here’s an overview of its key features: Key Features: Caliber: The SOCOM 16 is chambered in .308 Winchester/7.62 NATO, making it suitable for both military and civilian use. Barrel: It typically comes with a 16-inch barrel, which is shorter than the standard M1A, offering better maneuverability without sacrificing too much accuracy. The barrel is also chrome-lined to increase durability and resistance to corrosion. Receiver: The receiver is made from forged steel, which is robust and offers high strength. It’s designed to handle the pressures of the .308 cartridge. Stock: The SOCOM 16 often features a black synthetic stock or compressed fiberglass stock, which is lightweight, durable, and weather-resistant. It may have an adjustable cheek riser and a sling attachment point. Muzzle Brake: One of the most prominent features is the muzzle brake that reduces recoil and muzzle rise, improving control during rapid follow-up shots. Picatinny Rail: The rifle has a top-mounted Picatinny rail, allowing users to attach optics such as scopes or red dot sights for better aiming precision. Operating System: It uses a gas-operated, semi-automatic action, ensuring smooth operation and consistent cycling. Capacity: The rifle typically uses 10-round magazines, although 20-round magazines are available for more ammunition capacity. Weight: The SOCOM 16 is relatively lightweight for a full-powered .308 rifle, with an approximate weight of around 8.8 pounds. Finish: The rifle features a matte black or Parkerized finish, providing corrosion resistance and a tactical aesthetic. Intended Use: Home Defense: With its shorter barrel, the SOCOM 16 is easier to handle in tight spaces compared to traditional battle rifles. Hunting: Its .308 caliber makes it a popular choice for big-game hunting. Tactical: The rifle is commonly used by law enforcement or tactical teams due to its accuracy and firepower. Performance: The SOCOM 16 is known for its accuracy, reliability, and power. The shorter barrel might affect the velocity of the bullet slightly compared to longer-barreled variants, but it still provides strong performance in a tactical package. It’s a popular choice for gun enthusiasts who appreciate the historical design of the M1A rifle, but with modern upgrades for tactical and civilian needs.
