Designated Shorthand

We've got two Springfield Armories.

There's the National Armory that was in Springfield, Massachusetts.  It's been closed for near 50 years and is a national historic site now.

There's also a gun manufacturer in Geneseo, Illinois.  They've been around since 1974.

Most of the time, it's clear which one you're talking about from the context and age of the gun.

Occasionally there's guns they've both made...

Here on the nearly unlimited space of a blog, it's easy to make it clear if you need to.

With a single line limitation of the weapon's tables...

Springfield means the national armory.

Springfield Armory means Inc.

This is a house rule.
