had a Full Auto Department at their factory in Illinois. Up until May 1986, Springfield Armory, Inc. were the two companies that produced select fire M14 type rifles for civilian ownership. Most of the M1A rifles manufactured since 1971 were made for the commercial market, and thus were only capable of semi-automatic fire. The muzzle brake reduces climb of the barrel, making the rifle easier to control. As a result, Springfield Armory designed a muzzle brake, which they installed in place of the standard flash suppressor on all models that were sold in California. The California Assault Weapons Ban prohibits flash suppressors on all semi-automatic rifles capable of accepting a detachable magazine. Since the bayonet lug is attached to the flash suppressor, "post-ban" rifles can easily be fitted with a bayonet lug by fitting a pre-ban flash suppressor. Although the 1994 law expired in September 2004, making bayonet lugs on newly manufactured firearms legal again (in most states), Springfield Armory has not restored that feature. Once the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 was passed prohibiting the manufacture of firearms with bayonet lugs (among other features), the M1A no longer shipped with a bayonet lug. Springfield Armory has also omitted the "7.62-MM" caliber designator on the M1A receiver since 1991. Until around the late 1990s, the M1A produced by Springfield Armory retained the cutout in the rear right of the stock for the selector switch found on the M14. The military M14 receivers were manufactured using the drop forge process, which is more complicated and more expensive. M1A receivers are made from precision investment cast AISI 8620 alloy steel.
