Looking for Some History and Maybe a Value

Back in 1991, I was offered a Springfield Arms M1A National Match rifle at a very nice price. It proved too much gun for me but I've kept it nicely preserved with all effects including a bipod. The inscription reads USA Rifle, 7.62mm MIA, Springfield Armory Ser. 004094, which I think places it as an early production piece. I have no interest in selling it but I am getting older and would like some history to give to my kids and maybe the value. Can anyone here help? Was it produced in Texas?
Thanks and Best Wishes,

you have at least 2 choices..

1) email Springfield with all this information, and ask them

2) you can call Springfield and ask them

i always had good luck with emailing them, others have said they have good luck with a phone call

you can also check for collectors clubs, specific to Springfield

good luck
