"...banning the Norinco..." That was Clinton. He said he was punishing China for human rights issues.
Any M1A with milsurp parts is practically an antique. SA Inc. hasn't used milsurp parts since the mid 1970s.

actually, they have,

they started making their own stuff in the late 70's or early 80's (bolts, and one lot was recalled) but many of the hammers, triggers , trigger housings etc were still USGI,

some barrels were surplused or NOS GI stuff too, with GENESCO overstamped on the side of them
