M14/M1A Guys.......
I have a 2000 or 2001 vintage Springfield Armory M1A and am trying to figure out if it is assembled with gov't surplus parts. I know the bolt is because it says TRW on it. Some of the other parts I'm not sure if they're Springfield Armory, the gov't plant, or Springfielg Armory, the commercial venture.
They are marked as:
Trigger Housing: 7267030-I
Hammer: C46008-I WRA (This is Winchester, correct?)
Barrel: P SAK-7790190-1-69-8095308 (the "P" is stamped larger than the other letters. Proof mark?)
Operating rod: 7267064-2 SA (The SA is actually stamped under the row of numbers.)
How about the gas cylinder/piston, same maker as the barrel? I don't see any numbers on the cylinder itself. How about the rest of the trigger guts, same as the hammer and/or housing?
TIA for any help.

The only part I'm sure of is the barrel: It's a USGI barrel made by Saco Defense, Saco, Maine, now a division of General Dynamics. They made the most accurate M14 barrels. Yes, the P is a proof mark.

Thanks for the help, Neal.
Anyone have any ideas on the other parts? Mark C? Givette?0 -
SAK is a great barrel. You should be able to move the safety back and forth with the trigger group out to see the markings. The gas tube should have a light stamping near the end that faces the receiver. You can take off your rear sight and look at the bottom to see who made the base. The elevation and windage knobs are marked on the outside. I don't know about the trigger housing off the top of my head. The op rod is obviously Springfield Armory (the arsenal).
Sounds like your rifle is composed of USGI parts. Be happy you have the SAK barrel, now have fun and shoot it![:)]0 -
The OP-rod and trigger guard are both new Incorporated parts the WRA is GI part. 0
