The receivers for the new Springfield Armory M1 rifles are engraved, Made in Austrialia. I believe they are investment castings. The barrels are SA barrels made by Springfield Armory,Genesco,IL. The rest of the metal is WW2 and post WW2 from original production runs by SA,Springfield Ma, Winchester, H&R, and other USGI manufacturers. I dont know where the M1A receivers are made.
Springfield Armory still produces M14 clone rifles. They are in semi (full auto is inacurate anyways) and are called M1A1's.
All U.S. army springfield rifles were chambered in 30-06 caliber.

There were 4 producers for the US military- Springfield Armory, H&R, Olin Mathieson (Winchester) and TRW. The civilian rifles (clones) are not the same as the true M14, and are made by several companies.
The M1 was designed by John C. Garand at the Springfield Armory. Once the design was finalized, a contract to produce the rifle was awarded to Winchester. After WWII, International Harvester Corporation and Harrington & Richardson produced the M1 until the mid-50's. Some rifles were license-produced in Denmark and Italy. Presently, M1 rifles are made for the civilian market by Springfield Armory, Inc. of Geneseo, IL.
which Springfield? The military arsenal, or the civilian company?
All military rifles that were made for the U.S. were made at Springfield Amory,which is located at Springfield,Mass.It became a official U.S. arsenal in the year 1872.The first firearms made there were in 1795.This arsenal should not be confused with the Company Springfield Arsenal which is a totally different entity which is located in Geneseo,Illinois.
The correct ammunition is 30-06 Springfield.
