Pros
Nice weight, plenty of power.
Cons
Receiver has two threaded inserts but scope mount not available. A faux magazine would be nice for looks.
TAKE ONE OR TWO, THEN ENJOY AND BE VERY HAPPY
Pros
BEAUTYFULL AND WONDERFULL. PERFECT.
Cons
NOTHING
Pros
Looks and feels like the real one. Very accurate and powerful. Easy to set the sights.
Cons
The cocking effort is a bit difficult.
I must say that I had problems at customs in my country, Spain, when the authorities decided to let my shipment through. The maximum power allowed in my country is 24.2 joules, so customs asked me for a certificate from the manufacturer and the exporter/seller indicating the real power of the rifle. Pyramid Air very kindly sent me a document via email certifying that the power was less than 24.2 joules. Thanks to this they released the shipment and today I can enjoy the rifle in my house.
Pros
The rifle looks great and feels great in the hands. It is a good replica of a compressed air weapon, it weighs a lot, as much as the real one. As a pro: it has a lot of power and is felt (and heard) when shooting. If you like the legendary weapons that were used in the most famous wars and especially the M14 from Vietnam, this weapon will not disappoint you.
Cons
There are a couple of cons that I see, and it is that it does not have hooks for the strap if you want to carry it on your shoulder. And the most important con and that aesthetically would give it a more authentic touch... the magazine. There is no hole to place the ammunition magazine. I don't know if it would have been possible when designing this rifle but it needed it.
i currently own an AEA zeus, chambered in .72 caliber and its a monster. with a full fill of air,and the .729 cal 1082 grain slugs,,it will penetrate an engine block! aea also claims it will take down game the size of a water buffalo at 300 yards,,but of course i have never been to africa to put it to the test. and of course you only get 3-good shots on one fill of air.
Pros
this is an extremely well made copy of the US-m 14 rifle. looks are right on. they always were a bit heavy and the weight also matches the original.
Cons
i would defenitely like to see a " big-bore", version of this air rifle , a pcp version, chambered in at least .45 caliber that can shoot slugs, and have at least a muzzle velocity of, 1,000 fps or more. then it would be an actual air rifle to hunt with. i dont think the air chamber under the barrel or stock would hurt the looks of this rifle much. of course,,i must be dreaming,,,

Pros
Everything!
Cons
Offer a good quality scope mount specific for this air rifle.
This is really being petty. I darkened the wood stock a bit darker it looks so much better. BUT, that is only my preference and has nothing to do with the quality of this air gun. It's fantastic.
Pros
Weight. looks, handling capabilities, sighting, realism, quality what can I say all Grade A five stars out of five +++++
Cons
Would like to have seen a magazine attached, even if not removable for more realistic look.
My US Army M14 had a darker stain on it, so I did a light sanding and hit it with some dark walnut stain. If you thought it looked good out of the box it really looks great with darker stain. I then got a used surplus M14 magazine and disc ground the TOP of of it at an angle because the real M14 magazine does NOT sit perpendicular to the barrel. Removed the spring etc. Placed a wood insert screw ( carefully) in the wood stock and fixed the modified magazine with a long 4 inch 10/24 machine screw. Lower the cocking lever and reduce the magazine length to ensure that it does not interfere with cocking. Make sure to view some real M14 images with the magazine in place to position the magazine in the most realistic position. Drill one hole in the bottom of the magazine. Looks fantastic and removes easily. I like shooting with the magazine in place.
Pros
Went through Basic Training with an M14. Totally satisfied with this puppy. Love the realistic weight and accuracy. Your arm gets a workout cocking it and that is a plus !
The 35 pound cocking pull is not a problem especially with the extension. Could not be happier with the accuracy. Great groups after 100 rounds down range. Iron sights bring back memories. Grandkids loved shooting it.
It is a bit on the heavy side, but not what I would consider a Con. It is a replica. Underlever cocking is nice although it does take a bit more strength on my part than I expected. Positioning pellet into breech/chamber does take a bit of practice.
Pros
Nice replica with wood stock. Accurate with adjustable sights. Nice balance. It's weight helps to off-set spring action recoil effects. 0.220 caliber has real punch.
Question?
Login to ask someone who bought this product.Where can I find the proper scope mount for this rifle? And do you have to remove the stripper clip guide? Thanks. Ernie B.
asked Ernest from USAAre the SPRINGFIELD ARMORY M1A PCP Air Rifle, 22 Caliber and The M1 Carbine Blowback BB Rifle made in China? Zabby-Do
asked Robert from USAThis one is an underlever air rifle (NOT PCP) - and yes, made in China. The M1 carbine BB rifle - made in Taiwan
Val from USAWhat is the material of the upper stock manufactured from It looks like plastic.
asked Richard from USAHey Jim. The last question you answered was that this product was manufactured in China. I would have presumed that but at the top of this site the specs listed the 'manufacturer' as Springfield Armory. That's confusing. Unless Springfield Armory has a factory in China, which I'm not aware of (conflict), that spec is misleading or disingenuous. Can you explain that for me? Thanks.
asked Alan from USAWill an M6 bayonet fit the bayonet lug on this rifle?
asked John De from USAThere is no bayonet lug on the muzzle
PHILIP from USAAs an old Marine who has trained with both the M-1 Garand, and the M-14 at Parris Island, the top looks like an M-14 with a flash suppressor, and the bottom, stock looks like a M-1 Garand. With a BB loaded magazine it would it would pass more as an M-14. Any thoughts or is it just me. The question is why not one or the other? Why the mix?
asked William from USAThis is a copy of the Springfield M1A, the semi auto version of the M14.
Brian from USAI need to know if the end of the barrel is a supressor/silencer as I live in NJ and that is illegal to possess. If it is not I will be purchasing the rifle.
asked Michael from USAthe muzzle break at the end of the barrel is just for looks it is made of plastic and has nothing to do with silenceing the rifle.
James from USANo not a suppressor strictly a plastic muzzle break but it is just abit percieved quiter than my .22 cal ruger max break barrel
Norbert from USAwell it looks like it is finally here, has anyone tested it yet? is it as claimed?
asked James from USAThe first rifle I received was faulty. The anti bear trap lever wasn't connected and it had loose parts rattling around inside. When operating the cocking lever it felt like gravel was in the mechanism. Air Gun Depot quickly replaced it with a different unit. The one I have now cocks smoothly and everything works well. The trigger is a bit rough but tolerable. I've shot 14.4 grained domed pellets( .22 caliber) that chronographed a consistent 775 fps. wad cutters 750 fps. The scope mount from my M1A National Match fits but I believe I will leave the iron sights on for now. Pretty satisfied for now. Mike
Michael from USASuppressors/silencers are illegal in New Jersey. Is that a suppressor on the end of the barrel thus rendering the gun illegal in new jersey and making me a class D felon? If not then I will be ordering one. Thanks in advance, Mike
asked Michael from USAits just for looks , make of plastic,
James from USANot a suppressor strictly a muzzle break, non functioning and really for looks
Norbert from USAWill it be compatible with a surplus M14 flash hider?
asked Connor from USAPyramid Air does NOT have the scope mount.
Ernest from USAonly in the looks dept. its made of plastic, and no ports
James from USAi tried fitting my spare and no joy without modification
Norbert from USAHow does a scope attach? It looks like a special side-mount is needed. Where does one acquire the scope mount?
asked Craig from USAit requires the M1/ M14 mount , bet it at pyramid air
James from USAI'm using a standard m1a/m14 mount they have it set up exactly the same but you need to use non see thru rings or the scope will sit to high for a good alignment
Norbert from USAcan you put a scope on it ?
asked Lisa from USAit requires the M1/M14 mount from pyramid air
James from USAYes
Mark from USAhas anyone done a hands on shooting of this when it was at shot show and has anyone heard if the delivery date has changed. does anyone know who the manufacture is . any help would be great.
asked James from USAThe M1A will be released in Aug/Sept. It is manufactured in China.
Mark from USA
