    they were going to make them but they never did but they had a few thousand receivers made and just sold them off i had a dozen ,they were sold at about 100.00 each early 2000 they were good and so you will find guns with springfield recivers and springfield contract replacement barrels

    Based upon the serial number, the carbine in question was not made for the US Military. The serial number, with the SC prefix, to me indicates this particular carbine was made by Springfield Armory which is a private commercial concern and not affiliated with the US Government.

    Good stuff there and proof again you can learn something new everyday. I wouldnt mind having a Springfield carbine but not for the price he wants for that one.
