The '''Springfield Armory M1A''' is a [[semi-automatic rifle]] made by [[Springfield Armory, Inc.]], beginning in 1971, based on the [[M14 rifle]], for the civilian and law enforcement markets in the [[United States]]. "M1A" is a proprietary name for Springfield Armory's M14-pattern rifle. Early M1A rifles were built with surplus [[G.I.]] parts until Springfield Armory, Inc. began manufacturing their own. Robert Reese bought Springfield Armory from Elmer Ballance and moved the manufacturing from Devine, Texas to Geneseo, Illinois in 1974.
