I just traded a nice Plainfield carbine for a Springfield Armory receivered carbine. I can't find a lot on information here about them so I'd like any info or opinions the group has. I read here that the receivers were cast and somewhere else they were forged???

I haven't had time to check all the parts for markings yet but it has a M2 stock and appears to be all USGI parts with a flat bolt and a barrel marked SA 8 51 that almost appears new. The entire gun is parked, not blued.

I know it's not US military, but I think I've got a pretty good shooter here, what's the general opinion of the group?

Thanks,

Rob
