Overview

The springfield armory model 2020 heatseeker .308 pistol is a purpose-built firearm that bridges the gap between a traditional bolt-action carbine and a modern handgun platform.

The receiver is machined from 7075-T6 aluminum, and the bolt carrier group is nitrided for durability. This is not a conversion or a cut-down rifle; it is a factory-engineered pistol from Springfield Armory that chambers the .308 Winchester cartridge.
