I have two XDs cases (along with the contents that came in them) that I'm converting over to mag carriers. I need a few more cases now.

Springfield Armory's Garands were a shitshow from the start and were dropped immediately thereafter. Why do you think you can't buy them new anymore? More than one exploded.

You're thinking of the original Springfield Armory - not the commercial entity that stole their name after the armory was shut down in 1968.

Tell me more about this. I'd heard the SAI M1 rifles felt like they were made of cheap pot metal, so I bought a real one from CMP. Some of the SAI ones actually went kaboom?

The foam the put in the top falls out constantly along with the allen wrenches and extra front sight inserts. PITA. Springfield cases are the freaking worst.

I think that's the problem; all the posts about it I saw were garands in pieces, stock exploded, etc. Sadly all the posts I saw on it were on boards that are long dead, have been radically changed, or hosted on photo sites that no longer exist...
