Overview

Springfield Armory designed the SOCOM 16 CQB to bridge the gap between full-size battle rifles and modern carbines. The 16.25-inch barrel reduces overall length to 37.25 inches, while the Vortex Venom red dot sits low on the receiver for co-witness capability with the included backup iron sights. The forged receiver, chrome-lined barrel, and synthetic stock ensure this rifle operates reliably under hard use. This is not a range toy; it is a fighting rifle with a proven lineage.

Features & Specs

• Caliber: 308 Winchester / 7.62x51mm NATO. The SOCOM 16 CQB delivers full-power rifle ballistics from a compact platform, effective for defensive, patrol, and hunting applications.
• Barrel: 16.25-inch carbon steel, chrome-lined, with a 1:11 twist rate. The medium-weight contour and flash suppressor manage recoil and muzzle rise in rapid fire.
• Optic: Vortex Venom 3 MOA red dot sight pre-installed. The Venom offers unlimited eye relief, auto-brightness mode, and a rugged aluminum housing that withstands the 308 recoil impulse.

• Action: Gas-operated, rotating bolt. The M1A system is known for its reliable cycling under adverse conditions, and the SOCOM 16 CQB retains this proven mechanism.
