Was on Vacation and JUST happened to pass through Springfield Mass, Home of Springfield Armory National Historic Museum. I am blown out. Never seen such fine examples of American Arms. Everything is mint. Everything is New. Armory Fresh. I laid EYES on Garand #1. Yep 1. 1-80 Were made by hand by Mr. Garand for the army. 81 was the first off the line. 81 Was sitting there as well. The 1903's , M1, M14, Krags, Pristine Examples of Every Service rifle ever made are in there. PIcs later. I sent a few to alleycat in real time...yesterday. Wow. If you are ever up that way stop in. Its FREE.
Edit: I cant believe my Rifles are from that facility. It blows my mind.
Those pics made my day. Reading your comments makes me want to go even more
