The M1A SOCOM 16 CQB is purpose designed for close range engagements against serious threats. The 16.25" carbon steel barrel is tipped with a small but efficient muzzle brake for fast follow-up shots. Springfield Armory also offers the M1A SOCOM 16 CQB from the factory with a HEX Dragonfly red dot sight. This compact rugged and effective red dot mounts to the stripper clip guide in the perfect spot for close range both-eyes-open engagements.
