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.
