You nail it on the head, im fascinated with the M1, when i hold it, it take me back to what our big brothers carried and had to fight with instead of a M16A2. These are totally 2 different beasts. Since i have a couple of M1's '45 and 78 Iver and even thougn i have my Grandfathers Winchester M1, I never played with it or opened it, now i can open this one and take it apart and learn how to do everything to it and put it back, troubleshoot it, now i feel confident in opening my Grandfathers to see what it has and plus there are a few people here that are always willing to help. Thanks
