Springfield Armory is a name as synonymous with American firearms as it is with American freedom. Founded by the premier commanding general and the first U.S. President, it was George Washington who designated Springfield Armory as the country's first arsenal in 1794.
With its rugged, battle-proven designs and unmatched reliability, Sprinfield Armory quickly developed its new civilian market, well ahead of any competition, successfully making the transition from military arms to sporting firearms.
