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).
