The most recent issue of National Heritage magazine has their annual "Most overrated/Underrated series in it. I was quite surprised to see an article on the most overrated/underrated firearms.
The particular author for the firearms part -- Patrick Sweeney -- chose the Springfield 1903 as most overrated and the FN FAL as the most underrated.
My first thought was "Underrated? It's was accepted and issued by more countries than probably any other rifle at the time!"
But to his credit the author was talking about the original .280 chambering only.
