John Brown did what?[edit]

Considering John Brown was hanged in 1869, it's hard to blame him for the war-time destruction of Harpers Ferry Arsenal years later. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.228.162.7 (talk) 09:33, 22 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

John Brown was hanged in 1859. Harpers Ferry Armory burned down in 1861. FitzColinGerald (talk) 10:18, 1 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

M1917 Enfield Rifle[edit]

I can read: "In addition, the War Department contracted for production of the M1917 Enfield Rifle to help aid American troops. These, along with the additional 47,251 rifles produced by the Rock Island Arsenal and the weapons already in service, were enough to supply the war effort." Thats wrong. The Pattern 1917 Enfield Rifle was made by Winchster Repeating Arms Co, Remington Arms Co and and Eddystone Rifle Plant, PA.

Springfield Armor Basketball Team[edit]

Not sure if this is too trivial to mention but here goes: As a reference to the famous armory, the local NBA development league basketball team is named the Springfield Armor. Springfield is the home of the basketball National Hall of Fame and the birthplace of the game itself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.34.90.120 (talk) 19:35, 26 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
