Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel is a precision semi-automatic rifle engineered for competitors and tactical shooters who demand sub-MOA accuracy from a gas-operated platform. Built on the legendary M1A action, this model is factory-upgraded with a hand-lapped, air-gauged Douglas barrel, a heavy glass-bedded stock, and a two-stage match trigger. For shooters transitioning from bolt guns to a semi-automatic system, this rifle delivers repeatable, long-range performance without the need for aftermarket gunsmithing.

Overview

The Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel is the civilian-legal evolution of the U.S. Army’s M21 sniper system. Springfield Armory builds this variant around a forged receiver, a 22-inch Douglas Premium barrel, and a walnut or synthetic stock that is glass-bedded at the factory. The rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO) and includes a National Match two-stage trigger, a hooded NM front sight, and a fully adjustable rear aperture. This is a production-grade precision rifle, not a custom build, meaning you get consistent quality and warranty support out of the box.

Features & Specs

• Douglas Premium Barrel: Hand-lapped, air-gauged 22-inch stainless steel barrel in 1:10 twist. Produced by Douglas Barrels Inc., known for match-grade accuracy in F-Class and high-power competition.
• National Match Two-Stage Trigger: Adjustable, crisp break with minimal overtravel. Factory set to approximately 4.5-5.0 pounds for precision work while remaining safe for field use.
• Glass-Bedded Stock: Either USGI walnut or synthetic stock with full-length aluminum bedding block. The action is glass-bedded at the factory to eliminate receiver shift during firing.

Additional specifications include a 4-round detachable box magazine (standard M14/M1A pattern), a chrome-lined gas cylinder, and a parkerized finish on all metal surfaces. The rifle weighs approximately 9.3 pounds unloaded and measures 44.25 inches overall. Sighting radius is 24 inches for the standard iron sights, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts.

Who It’s For

This Springfield M1A M21 Long Range Match 308 with Douglas Barrel is purpose-built for the precision semi-auto shooter. It serves the high-power competitor shooting across-the-course matches, the long-range enthusiast engaging steel at 600-800 yards, and the serious collector who wants a factory-original M21 clone without custom build lead times. If you require a gas gun capable of holding 0.75 MOA with match ammunition and want USGI magazine compatibility, this rifle fits that role. It is less suited for hunters needing a lightweight carry rifle or for casual plinkers who do not require match-grade accuracy.

• Competitive shooters in NRA high-power, F-T/R, or tactical matches
• Long-range target shooters seeking a semi-automatic alternative to bolt guns
• Collectors and enthusiasts who want a factory-spec M21 with Douglas barrel
