I'm with Brian, I have only two M1s at this time. One old banger and a early SA, 328219 with English proofs under the op rod handle. It's all correct down to the round firing pin. No matter what some say, the members of this forum would love to be able to absorb it into their masses and that would happen unquestionably. I don't think there would be quibbling by most about import marks. By the sounds of it you want this rifle for you, not resale. Hang on for a few years and it will increase in value in spite of it's self.
