I like them both for different reasons.
I like the improved version , for just that reason, the changes made sense and were very practical and well done.

But there is bueatuy in the original config of the M1icon.
Very simple, clean and effective.

I have a mix master NPM for my shooter.

Seems it was rebuilt , but then not shot much.


And finally found an nice what seems to be as issued Inland mfg Jan 44, transition gun with low wood but all the other original features.



I have no worries shooting the mix master, since if I have to change anything , so long as I can get it, it wont hurt the value.

They are such great rifles to shoot.
While the adjustable sight is great, I find the flip sights are very function, and great due to their simplicity.
