Springfield Armory M1A 10-Round Magazine

M1A 10-Round Magazine

This is Springfield Armory's own 10-round magazine for the M1A, the civilian semi-automatic rifle based on the military M14. It holds ten rounds of .308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm NATO in a short steel box that sits closer to the rifle than a 20-rounder. That shorter profile helps at the bench, in the prone position and in the field, and it suits M1A owners who live where magazine capacity is limited. Check your local laws before you buy.

Features

• 10-Round Capacity — The magazine holds ten cartridges, half the load of the standard 20-round M1A magazine.
• .308 Win / 7.62x51mm NATO — It is sized for the M1A's chambering: the commercial .308 Winchester round and its military counterpart, 7.62x51mm NATO.
• Steel Body — The box is formed from steel, the same material the rifle's maker uses for its other M1A magazines.
• Ribbed Side Panels — Vertical ribs are pressed into each side to stiffen the walls and help the box keep its shape.
• Black Finish — A dark, non-reflective finish covers the body and matches the steel on most M1A rifles.
• Compact Profile — The short box sticks out less below the stock, so it is less likely to hit the ground or a rest when you shoot prone or from a bench.
• Rock-In Insertion — Like all M14-pattern magazines, it hooks onto the front of the magazine well and then rocks back until the catch locks it in place.
• Factory Springfield Armory Part — Springfield Armory, the company that builds the M1A, makes this magazine for its own rifle.

Build And Fit

Because the magazine comes from the rifle's own manufacturer, you don't have to wonder about fit the way you might with an aftermarket box. The steel body and pressed side ribs follow the same basic layout as the M1A's standard magazines in a shorter length. It suits hunting, range work, or simply keeping a lower-capacity option in the bag with your rifle.
