SOCOM 16

The Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 is a civilian sporting variant of the M14 chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO. The weapon is rather compact for a rifle, using a 16 inch barrel, allowing it to avoid being registered and taxed under the US National Firearms Act. The rifle also features a reworked gas system to account for the shorter barrel as well as a compensator to dampen recoil.
