Springfield Armory National Historic Site...

The Original
...Massachusetts, the site in Springfield was selected...
..by George Washington, after he was elected...
...to be dedicated to make this a site number one...
...used and continued to put the US in the manufacture of gun(s).

It started in 1777, and was closed in 1968,
a "glorious" past would be put behind us, as fate.
It started with muskets, and ended with the M14,
with 1903 a prime year, and the M1 in between.

Civil War rifles

The M1 Garrand, 4.5 million made
I carried one everywhere in Navy boot camp-1958
