His wife had been calling me and asking, I have been taking her and looking at different toys... He want both a M1A and a G.I. edition .45 The M1A is a bust for this year... But we did get the other! Hell I was even happy, since he is U.S. Spec OPS he got a special package. http://springfield-armory.com/armory.php?version=15 I think he is going to be pleasantly pleased! I was amazed this was what he wanted! But he loves the original models. He has a array of springfields now that are very nice, but all rifles. I did my best to talk her into the socom m1a, but could not do it.
