A good question really, just a stylistic choice really, no practical reason. I took a few Mauser features and blended them into this rifle. Knowing that the Springfield was really a Mauser design intrigued me and I had seen similar features on other custom rifles such as the "Mauser/Licher" Steve Nelson had built. I also square bridged the action in an Oberndorf style and added a 1909 Argentine bottom metal. The new bottom metal was reduced in height and then cut, bent and welded to match the profile of a Springfield bottom metal allowing me to match a more American classic G&H inspired stock profile.
