I thought that Springfield 1903 didnt have a place to put a scope? how did he mount on on? it was a 1903 right?
Well..
All of the enemy combatants in WW2 had scoped rifles available.
The U.S. used two different rifles:
1903A4

The Germans used three, though two were predominate.
Scoped K98s

and so on. Scopes were in wide civilian use for over eighty years prior to the war.
Okay, I moved here to Springfield, MO, about a year and a half ago from Los Angeles (which I might add has a very prominent music scene) and I’m just wondering why there is no music scene out here in the Mid-West and why all thesigned bands try their hardest to avoid this place. The nearest venues that most bands I like (metal bands by the way) play at are about three ours away in St. Louis and Kansas City. The local scene (which has only two bands at least) isn’t that great either.
cause they don’t want to be seen on the Simpsons!
This summer my girlfriend and I are planning on meeting some friends in Springfield, Illinois because it is the same distance for all of us to drive, but we don’t know what there is to do there.
Hope you like the movie "Children of the Corn", ’cause that’s all that’s here – CORN! Oh and beans!
I just bought a Springfield XD 40 subcompact and I cant find anything that tells me about the little red clip that comes with the gun kit.
I believe it’s an empty chamber "flag"
Stick the two pronged end into your chamber and the piece that runs perpendicular to that will stick out of the ejection port not allowing the gun into battery. It’s a fast visual indication that the weapon is safe.
I need to know where i can find a store that sells mac games in Springfield, missouri. Best Buy doesn’t seem to have any and i really want to get some games.
Want games? Buy a PC.
Haha, sucker.
I want to take my kids to see the fireworks they have at the "I Love America" celebration in Springfield, MO but I don’t want to fight the crowds. Does anyone LOCAL know the best place to watch from town?
On TV.
We have seen both cities but dont know where it would be better to live after we retire? I know Springfield is older and Eugene has more hippies and protesters. Which city would give us a better quality of life?
I would choose Springfield myself, since it’s smaller and less
youth oriented, than the college town of Eugene. My aunt
moved from S. California and retired in a new subdivision
outside of Eugene tho. And lived there about 20 years. She
had everything in her community and didn’t need to go far to
get to everything. She drove up to Portland alot to shop as
she liked the big mall at Washington Square,and had family
in the city. She was very contented in Eugene, and her
children eventually moved there from other locations.

Ok my family just arrived in Springfield and my kids want to go somewhere with their grandparents. Where are some fun places in Springfield MO for kids around the ages of 9 and 13?
Bass Pro Shop should keep any/everyone occupied for several days. Don’t miss lunch at Hemmingways, the best brunch this side of Disney World.
Next door is a fantastic wildlife museum.
Fantastic Caverns was pretty neat since you ride through the caverns in a Jeep towed trolly. There are many caverns surrounding Springfield, just type caverns around Springfield, MO and you’d be surprised at the hits you’ll get.
Enjoy, my Wife and I did.
I’ve just finished one more semester in college (UMass Amherst), and besides everyone leaving soon, I’m kinda tired of the same thing around downtown. Me and my buddies are planning a trip to Springfield tonight. What’s a good place to visit and have a good beer? Irish pubs would be nice, but we’re open to anything.
Thanks!!
Congratulations.
You will find a few Irish pubs to choose from in Springfield!
Two worth trying are:
Paddy’s Irish Pub at 1060 Wilbraham Road
Donovan’s Irish Pub, 1655 Boston Road (great entertainment and food too).
