Re: Visiting Springfield Armory

Your report and pictures have struck my desire to visit the Springfield Armory now. I'll need to get more knowledge under my belt to make the trip across MA worth it all that much more.

Re: New member looking to learn

Wow! I'm learning more than I thought I ever would from these message boards. Keep 'em coming please. I thought they were 3s in the serial number because they don't look like the 8s in the model number stamp.
