I didn't post it to try to change anyone's thinking but merely to help put the discussion into another perspective. I do not own any low number Springfields myself but after reading the article I admit I do not have nearly as much negative thought about them as I once did.

I do know that the few I have toyed around with were some of the smoothest actions around. Not quite as smooth as the Krag but very, very good.
