i think this thread is beating a dead horse at this point. everything that can be said, has.
From what I understand, Springfield doesn't really make anything in the USA and they are only an import company! I was also told that the company has nothing to do with the original Springfield Arms out of Massachusetts either.Springfield XD- Made in Croatia?
I dont understand, I thought Springfield arms were U.S.A. made
I didnt know is that the M1a they sell is made in brazil
It seems to me that most guns (and AMMO, too) cost close to twice as much they did just a few years ago, with the exception of GLOCKs. I went to a gun show the other day, and I was surprised at how much things have changed since my last gun show, a couple years back.at that time they were $250, but now that springfield armory imports them and stamps their name on them, they cost over twice as much....
But I do know a poser when I see one. Funny how some just can't admit that, like em or not.
The Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia not a communist country? Neutral? WOW! I heard everything in my life.I've been to Karlovac, stopped there for awhile on my way from Ljubljana to Split. It's really pretty country, and the people are amazing. I'd visit that part of the world for a whole month every year if I could afford it.
One thing that most US Citizens don't understand about the former Yugoslav republics is that they weren't part of the commie block. They were part of the neutral movement, and even almost went to war with the Soviets at one point because of their insistence to remain neutral. We (the US) even traded with them during the cold war, as they had a form of market socialism rather than state socialism (the Yugo anyone?). In addition to that, they (at least Croatia, Slovenia, and Serbia) have a very long history of excellent craftsmanship. These are all reasons why firearms like the Yugo AK, SKS, and XDM ended up being so highly regarded.
Anyway, kind of a tanget, but thought people might find that interesting that didn't know otherwise.
