Springfield Armory M1A Reviews

The look and feel is amazing and is very accurate

For that price nothing perfect

A must for a shooters collection.

Realistic look. Great accuracy.

Rear sight should be made of steel instead of plastic for durability. Add sling mounts.

Everything

Box magazine for more realism and metal sights.

Easiest method to load pellets I have found so far is to hold the skirt of pellet in index finger and tip of thumb with nose of pellet pointing towards bore,then just slide it in,quickest and easiest. Love shooting this baby,accurate as heck with peep sight.

Sights

Not much

The wood stock has a great look and feel for the rifle. The rifle looks very close to the original and even has the weight of the original. This M1A pellet rifle is fairly accurate at 45 yards using the gold Gamo Raptor Power pellets.

The plastic sights are poorly made and much care must be had not to break them. The sights should be made out of metal and not cheap easy to break plastic.

Love that it looks like a M1A and has the heavy weight of one

The cocking lever requires some muscle which is not the rifles fault but mine due to old age, so I find I need a strong platform to brace it against. The peep sight aperture is small, again old eyes.

Nice wood stock. Cocking lever extension.

I had forgotten how much the M1A (actually M14) weighed. It's a monster! That said, I love it! It shoots great, fun to heft, very accurate right out of the box. My wife joined the military far into my career and she was stunned at how heavy the rifle is. , but it was, and we all complained. Now I just love it! I'm infested with rabbits - I'm gonna go Elmer Fud on them!

1) It needs a box magazine added even if for looks only. I will buy one and add it to the stick, for looks only. 2) Use shooting gloves. The opening in the stock for the cocking lever feels uncomfortable when hefting the rifle. This is a minimal issue. I like cocking the gun versus using the little CO2 cylinders and I don't want a PCP rifle. 3) The stock is unfinished. I will rub it down with a few coats True-Oil - not a big deal.

1) Lovely, accurate "manly" weapon. However, if you're going to put a score on it, the scope mount costs more than the weapon. 2) Did I say this before? It's heavy, just like it should be.

Solid & well built. Shoots well, stout trigger just like the real deal.. Good value, thanks Pyramyd!

Provision for dummy magazine, if a company is going to go as far as they did on this replica rifle, they should go all the way, 4 star for overall.

Good service and prompt delivery. Where's the M1A/M14 scope mount as an accessory Pyramyd? :o)

Looks the part, feels solid, shoots well.

Would have been nice if it came with the picatinny mount that's M1A specific, or if it was sold here.

Looks like a duck, walks like a duck, weighs like one, fyi (heavy)

The rifle is very true to the actual weight of the original M1a.

I would try and put metal site post on the rifle to make it more durable.

The wood stock isn't anything to write home about. All I did was just brushed some linseed oil onto the stock with steel wool. It brought out the Finnish of the stock. It gave the wood a rich Finnish and smooth texture.

It's great to find a military replica that's accurate, too. Out of the box it was hitting the 10 ring at 50 feet. Styling may not be 100% aligned with the actual gun, but it's close enough that there's no question this is intended to represent a battle rifle from that era. And it's fun to shoot. I wondered if the peep sight would be too challenging for my older eyes, but I was happily surprised that it's manageable.

The lever was a little crunchy at first, but smoothed out. As most people have posted, the access to loading pellets is difficult for sausage fingers

The underlever takes a bit of muscle, but it's worth it for the zip it puts on the pellet. A good, cheap solution to the tight loading space is a pair of modelling tweezers. They work great, as long as you're not in a big hurry. Finally, although the gun is accurate and the peep sight is better than expected, there are far better options out there if you want/need a scope for precision shooting. It's a good-looking military replica with surprisingly good accuracy. Fun to shoot, too. Just make sure to use a rest, this sucker is heavy.

Heavy alright but it does what it's suppose to. Does look or feel like your average bb gun.

Scope... I don't know if it'll take a scope if it doesn't that'll be great

It's heavy!

Its very faithful to the actual Springfield M1A rifle. Its also extremely accurate right out of the box. My first shot I hit within 2 inches of my aim point at roughly 100 feet. And that was in a standing position with absolutely no support.

Nothing much I would change, but I did think that it might be cool to have a faux magazine that can be removed from the rifle where you could store extra pellets.

I watched some YouTube videos others had posted and they seemed to say that the rifle was relatively quiet. I thought it was way louder than any spring or gas pellet/BB gun I have ever fired. I would almost say its at least as loud as a .22 caliber rim fire rifle maybe even louder. Most 22 rifles I have fired didnt feel like they made my ears ring. This rifle does to a slight degree.

Excellent replica. Heavy weight. Shoots really accurate. Very well made. Thanks

Make the proper scope mount available.

Good company & products. Fast shipping. Highly recommend. No problems. Thanks

I love the weight and feel of this rifle. I was amazed that it is so accurate. Once I zeroed in my iron sights with my favorite pellet, I was putting pellets on target through the bullseye with each shot.

I would have the safety reversed to operate like the real rifle.

This rifle looks great and is great for keeping up your marksmanship skills.

Looks great. Good weight. Rifle built well.

The plastic rear sight is a bad design. It was so loose I could not get any grouping past 20 yards. I was going to shim it but decided to return it and buy a different underlever.

Customer service was very good and quickly handled the return at no cost to Mr. Can't wait for the Hatsan 135 to come in!

Heavy weight. Looks great. Well made. Shoots fine. Thanks.

Put a fake mag in it. Sling swivels. I will be installing those items on my rifle.

Super fast shipping. Great products & customer support. No problems. Highly recommend. Thanks.

realistic replica of M1a

better quality control

First rifle received, rear sight came apart, exchanged for another which broke after seven shots (cocking lever release). Sent back for a refund. It's a risk you take when you buy anything made in China. To bad, as it could be a fun shooting rifle. Buy one, maybe you will get lucky. I would like to say Pryamyd Air is first rate in customer satisfaction and will always have my business.

everything

would like to see it in gas piston or pcp, what about doing a m1 garand?
