The other 'new' news is work on the Korean M1's and carbines. Last I heard on that one was 'it would be nice but not gonna happen'.

Also I wonder who would be making the M1 receivers? US and forged?

I was talking to a machinist years back and said the M1 and M14 receiver needs many machining steps making it expensive.
I think the issue will be even with new receivers will there be enough reasonably priced parts to even build them out .
Or will it be a deep pocket only item

As for cast vs forged I highly doubt they will tool up to forge them , castings could be made to minimize machine work
 
There are forged M14 receivers being made, so I don't think it's ahuge leap to do M1's, but I think the desire for someone to tool up to do M1 receivers would be thin: what's the market for them? Can they do it any cheaper than the real-deal M1's that are already out there for sale? How many millions are already in gun owners hands?

The M14 is somewhat adaptable to modern tacticool tastes. The M1? I think there's at least one black rifle bro variant but IMHO it's an odd duck. Agreed- the market is thin and there are millions of M1's out there.

Right and theres only a few “M14” receiver manufactures out there. They are expensive for the most part .
Spring field armory tried getting into the M1 game but as you say
What you can buy a M1 for now as a business how can you compete or even justify . I think both the M1 and “M14” new production out side of what SAI is doing ends up being a an expensive proposition you have to have a love for .

My gut says Bula is about the only game in town for cmp to partner with .

It would be interesting if there was a forged M14/ Garand reciver that could be utilized for either production
 
PS I almost bought a SAI garand until I seen it . Wood was aweful and it was blued not parked
Shortly after the greek returns came in
