My Favorite, IH's, the Tractor Rifles

[Bob Seijas]

Here's some interesting data from my early research interviews in the late 1970s... Floyd LeGendre was the guy who stayed in the plant until the actual closing day. He told me that after everything was gone, a truck delivered a crate from Springfield Armory that turned out to be 10 rifles sent for parts interchangeability testing. He had no idea what to do with them, everything had been turned in and the closing was finalized, so he loaded the crate into the trunk of his car and waited until dark... then he drove down to the river and threw them in! OUCH!
