Nice to see another Springfield getting started. I do love a nice Springfield sporter.

The bullet shaped cutoff lug is a nice touch, but, somehow, I just prefer the original. To me at least a Springfield just doesn't look right without the the flared cocking piece and the cutoff just the way it came from the armory. Probably has something to do with ossification of the frontal lobes.

I have a Springfield in the works with Steve Durren to be a G&H styled .30-06. Just bought a lovely piece of wood from the Richters for the stock.
