[cite web |url=http://www.1stconnect.com/anozira/SiteTops/weapons/milsurvrifle.htm |title=Military Survival Rifles |accessdate=2007-09-20] . Most notable of the civilian manufacturers is Springfield Armory, Inc., which made three versions. The standard version, as used by the military, has a 14 inch barrel versions, and folds in half to a minimum size of 15 inches.
