Springfield Armory. Good job. From the pictures it looks like a thought-out option. Not a after though add on like some that will remain nameless.

I like it, now if only it had a threaded barrel and in FDE.

I want to know if a safety can be added to the Echelon that I currently own? I also own a Sig M18 that I was able to buy a manual safety for and then added it to the M18. So that would be awesome if I could do the same with the Echelon.

I guess I purchased mine just a tad bit to soon. Would've liked to have the manual safety, but it's all good cause I really like my green Echelon.

Mine is the FDE but like you I want to know if I can add a manual safety to it. I just sent an email to Springfield's support page and will let you know what I find out.
