No, I don't think he sent them across the Pond but Springfields along with Mausers are quite modular and since the platform already exists, add a barrel along with adornment. Adolph may have been a mechanic of merit @ one point but I would hasten to wager the chicken scratching on the forend is of his hand? Yes, He may have added some Wood but I think that was to the extent of his abilities. Adolph's whole life is a sordid tale and I for one think he was something of a con-man??
