Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 With Douglas Barrel

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel represents a precision-oriented evolution of the legendary M14 platform. Designed for shooters who demand consistent sub-MOA accuracy at extended distances, this rifle combines the proven gas-operated action of the M1A with a custom-grade, air-gauged Douglas barrel. Each component is selected to deliver reliable performance in competitive marksmanship, long-range target shooting, and tactical applications. This firearm is chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO) and is built around Springfield Armory’s forged receiver and bolt assembly, ensuring durability and repeatability shot after shot.

Overview

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel is a direct descendant of the U.S. Army M21 sniper system. It features a heavy, 22-inch Douglas barrel that is air-gauged for uniformity and hand-lapped to reduce friction and fouling. The barrel is matched to a precision-machined gas cylinder and a tuned piston system to minimize cyclic disturbance. The rifle is fitted with a McMillan A2-style fiberglass stock, which provides a rigid bedding surface and an adjustable cheek piece. The entire system is glass-bedded at the factory to ensure consistent receiver-to-stock alignment. This is not a standard production M1A; it is a long-range match variant built for accuracy-centric users.
