M14 Type Rifles - Springfield Armory, Inc. is the oldest and largest commercial manufacturer of M14 type rifles. The Springfield Armory, Inc. story begins with Mr. Elmer Balance of the L .H . Gun Co. in Devine, Texas (Stevens and Poyer). The U. S. Army Springfield Armory had closed down in April, 1968. So, the name of the company was changed to Springfield Armory, Inc. (Stevens). The change was a successful marketing strategy. The receiver design was approved as a Title I firearm under the 1968 Gun Control Act by the Department of the Treasury. Mr. Balance began selling the Springfield Armory M1A in September, 1971 (Stevens). They were assembled from USGI M14 parts except for the receiver and “certain small action components” according to the March, 1974 American Rifleman. The Texas company warranteed M1A rifles for one year. Based on serial number evidence, Mr. Balance built less than 3000 rifles using USGI and NM M14 parts......
