The Lost (and Found) Battalion, who ended the Great War, by being very hard headed!

in history •  6 years ago 

Couldn't catch the steem machine, ROFLOL! Yes the Springfield rifle was 30 calibre, and was approved in 1906; which is where the 30-06 tag came from. It was designed to be mass produced on the Ammo, which is where the boat tailed point came from. It worked so well, that all military rounds now copy that basic shape

Yes the tanks rupture and light off, Nasty!

The Springfield was a superior rifle, and we put it in the hands of people that hunted for Food. It was a deadly combination!

sir smithlabs! thanks for the great information and education, I just didn't know much about the WWI rifles.

The Springfield is one of the best bolt action Rifles ever made. It is still hard to find, and expensive. All the other bolt action battle rifles are half the cost of a Springfield. I still need one myself. Glad I could help you!

:D

oh my gosh! smithlabs doesn't even have a Springfield! Well I think that's unacceptable sir..what do I put in the search to find one? What is the exact words to type in or do I just put Springfield rifle?
If they're hard to find I'm surprised you haven't built your own by now.
sound like you're slacking a little bit there! lol.

Slacking...maybe, probably time on steemit, ROFLOL! They seem to hang around at $650.00; while the others are $250.

I will pick one up sometime.

:)

sir smithlabs..the others are $250..the other what? Springfields? but the cheaper ones are worn down or worn out right?

Enfields, K98 German Mausers, Turkish Mausers, Swedish Mausers, Mossin Nagants, Japanese Ariskas, and Italian Carcanos. Some are worn, some are pristine, but NONE are as sought after as the Springfield!

I also like the Swedish Mauser, they are a close second to the Springfield, and are accurate and usually pristine.

Sometimes, a design is perfectly conceived and executed, and the resulting device is extraordinary. This is what happened here!

:)

sir smithlabs...right... so where do you find all of these great rifles?

My Dachshunds are great trackers, ROFLOL! Gun stores, gun shows, private sales, some have been given to me, and I build a few.

Fun is where you find it! Start at gun shows with someone who knows guns.
