Do you know the model maker living in Tequesta FL who was involved with the development of the night vision scope for the Springfield rifle?
1. He most likely has passed on by this time, since those devices were invented and used nearly 70 years ago. 2. Springfield rifle? The US manfacturing plant entitled the "Springfield Armoury" closed down in 1968. The most famous Springfield rifles; when discussed by people, are the model 1873 and model 1903. Those two rifles are called "Springfield Rifles." In this 21st century, the '73 model has nearly disappeared from the vocabulary of people, but the model 1903 Springfield is known by most gun folks. So, when you say "Springfield Rifle", most people are going to immediately think of the "Model 1903 Springfield Rifle" which was adapted by the US Army in 1903 (the cartridge was adapted in '06). 3. It is highly doubtful that someone would invent a night vision device for an '03 rifle. 4. Unless you're thinking about today's "Springfield Rifle Company"; those folks were established in about 1973 or so. They have absolutely nothing to do with the REAL US Government Springfield Rifles! They, like today's current "Henry Rifle Company" (started in about 1993) are simply (and legally) using those names as a MARKETING PLOY to gain business. Neither TODAY's Springfield or Henry Rifles are "REAL" Springfield or Henry Firearms. They just want your business; and might prefer that customers believe that they're the original and famous gunmakers (when they are not).

Why was the 30-06 springfield used during World War 2?
At first the 1903 Springfield continued to be used because there were not enough M-1 Garands manufactured yet. The US had been in the process of adopting the M-1 as its new rifle, but the process was far from complete, so many men in 1942 fought with the same type rifle their father had in WWI. This was not as big a deal as it might seem. The Springfield was a good rifle. The Germans were doing just fine and their troops were in the same boat, armed with the Model 1898 Mauser rifle, just like papa in the Great War. Even after sufficient M-1s were available specially selected 03 Springfields continued in use as sniper rifles, fitted with Unertl telescopic sights. This was the 1903-A4.

Are crossed AUTOMATIC rifles a symbol of the US Infantry or Marine Corps - I've seen the old style bolt rifles crossed but not auto ones?
The Springfield 1903 rifle is a classic US firearm, and the military keeps them as a symbol of infantry in general. They don't use M-16s or anything like that. If you look closely, you will notice that the U.S. Infantry emblem is a pair of crossed MUSKETS, not auto-rifles, definitely NOT M-16's. I hope this corrects the mistake made above this boutthe 1903 Springfield.
