message: Springfield Armory, Inc. is a firearms manufacturer and importer based in Geneseo, Illinois, founded in 1794 ? or 1974 ? -- hmaag (talk) 12:19, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite having been changed a number of times, Hmaag, including 13 Jan 2013 (by 108.86.156.54) and most recently 05 Oct 2015 (by 189.243.21.159), the correct date is 1974 – apparently the confusion may be due to both years using the same four digits, and the original U.S. Federal Armory having the same name (w/o Inc). 99.170.117.163 (talk) 00:32, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

message: Preserving here by providing this link. My rationale was: "self-cited intricate detail and / or promotional". I also removed the products that were piped to generic firearms; I kept those manufactured under the Springfield Armory brand. Please let me know if there are any concerns. --K.e.coffman (talk) 01:07, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
