The Springfield Armory, located in Massachusetts, was the primary factory capable of producing cannons in 1860. It was a prominent federal armory and produced a variety of firearms, including cannons, for the United States military.

Springfields are made in various countrys. Brazil, Hungary, Croatia, and the U.S. All springfield xds are made in Croatia. It would be nice if they were made in USA but sadly not many are today
The Springfield XD say Made In Croatia on them. answer #2.... My 1911A1 was made in the USA, in Ma., where most the company is based.
The Springfield Armory M1A with a serial number around 042000 was likely manufactured in the early 1980s. Springfield Armory began producing the M1A in 1974, and serial numbers in that range indicate it was made during that timeframe. For more precise dating, you may refer to specific production records or resources dedicated to Springfield Armory firearms.
Springfield Armory was created in 1777.
Other than the obvious (location), the biggest difference I can think of is that Springfield imports and markets firearms from other makers.
You will need to call the factory to find out.
Springfield Armory handguns will not be available in Massachusetts. The factory has said..."WE HAVE NO INTENTION OF GOING THROUGH THE MASSACHUSETTS CERTIFICATION PROCESS because the laws and regulations are not clear". Update 10/16/2009: We have heard that rumors that Springfield Armory is interested in getting some of their handguns certified for sale in MA. I hope that do but I've heard this before and nothing has ever happened. The process is not that hard. S&W certifies handguns for MA all the time...(Taken from four seasons firearms webpage)
The Springfield SA1 M60 with serial number G1142 was manufactured in the early 1980s.
