Springfield Armory
History of the Springfield M1A Rifle by Jerry Rodriguez
The year 1974 marked the exceptional birth of the Springfield M1A rifle. Principally, the M1A is a high-quality reincarnation of the U.S. M14 rifle that saw the U.S halfway through the early years of the Vietnam War. The M1A however is civilian friendly and capitalizes on the popularity of the M14 type by using GI parts and specs. If you aspire to be the proud owner of a fully-automatic or selective fire riffle,than perhaps this is not the riffle for you. The M1A is purely designed to be a semi-automatic rifle and cannot in any way be modified.
The company responsible for the production of the M1A rifle is Springfield Armory of Geneseo, Illinois. The company has been a force in the firearms industry for many years and still remains as one. Notably, one should not be mistaken as this is not the same U.S. Government owned Springfield Armory of Massachusetts which was closed for operations by the U.S. Department of Defense on the 30,th of April1968.
The term "M1A" was christened by Elmer C. Ballance who was coincidentally the founder of the privately owned Springfield Armory, Inc. of Devine, Texas. However, by November 1974, Mr Ballance sold the "Springfield Armory" to Bob Reese. The Reese family retains as the current owner to the "Springfield Armory" empire to this very day.
The year 1974 also marked another significant event for the M1A as it was given the greenlight for use in NRA High Power shooting matches. The ammendment could be found on the NRA High Power Rifle Rule Book
