Springfield M1A 308 Win Used Rifle with R. Lee Ermey Signature

This offering represents a distinct piece of American firearms history: the Springfield M1A 308 Win Used Rifle with R. Lee Ermey Signature. Chambered in the venerable .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm NATO), this semi-automatic rifle is built on the legendary M14 platform by Springfield Armory. Each rifle in this limited inventory bears the authenticated signature of the late Gunnery Sergeant R. Lee Ermey, a figure synonymous with the M14 and the ethos of the United States Marine Corps. As a used firearm, each unit exhibits standard wear consistent with handling and display, yet retains the full mechanical integrity and precision expected from a Springfield Armory production. This is not merely a firearm; it is a collector-grade artifact for the discerning shooter.

Overview

It combines the robust, gas-operated action of a battle-proven platform with the iconic endorsement of one of the Corps’ most recognizable figures. The rifle features a 22-inch carbon steel barrel with a 1:11 twist rate, optimized for stabilizing standard 147-grain to 175-grain .308 ammunition. The receiver is machined from a forged steel billet, providing a rock-solid foundation for accuracy. The signature is laser-engraved on the right side of the receiver, ensuring permanence and authenticity. This rifle ships with a standard walnut stock, one 10-round magazine, and a manual.
