I have a Springfield in the safe right now and have used a Winchester 1895. The Springfield is a very nice weapon (as is anything built on the 1898 Mauser platform, my favorite is the CZ-24), solid, very reliable, and it would make one hell of a nice club (or a pike with an 18" bayonet attached). The M1895 is also a sweet shooter, but it is less "solid" than the M1903, at least in the civilian version.
I hate you with the burning passion of a million exploding suns at the moment.
