Love Springfields, I notice they took the mushroom off the cocking piece, always a mistake as in the case of a case rupture that curved forward edge directs gas away from your face. Beautiful rifle for sure.
The "mushroom" of the cocking piece has nothing to do with directing/deflecting gas.
Exactly; it was to manually re-cock in case of a FTF.
I love Springfields this is a beauty. I’d like to get one that is nicely done & have JES reborn it to .338.
