Thank you for taking the time to post the good pictures and clearlly mark them with red colors. Great tutorial that I need badly.

This seems aimed at those who get a new CMPicon stocked M1icon, or go buy a new stock. In your opinion, would a new stock be more accurate in the long run v. a used GI Wood? (some of the GI Stocks seem a bit loose fitting, and the new ones from the CMP are definitely snugger- does this contribute much to accuracy). Said another way, to get the most out of my M1 would it help to buy a new stock v. the old one on it?

Another question from a new M1 guy- how much more will the much written about "gluing of handguards, turning down gas cylinder, cutting down back of gas cylinder" mods do vs. the proper inletting? Do you think it will give even more, or is that extra bit of trouble really worth it? Trying to shoot some JCG Matches soon and not sure if all that cutting on my M1 will really help much....

Thank you for the great article.
