Springfield makes one:
Sorry, not so.
The SA Inc. M1 rifle currently being marketed is not "new".
The receiver (Cast, not forged as the original USGI.), barrel, and wood are new manufacture parts. EVERY other part is old used or NOS military parts that have been re-finished to look new.
If all the parts on these "new" M1's had to be newly manufactured.... i.e. a completely new rifle in all it's parts..... the price would be well beyond what the market would bear.
Best to all,
Swampy
