Well, almost...the stock should be an SA/EMcF, and the trigger guard should probably be forged...the windage knob should have a lock bar...maybe I'm wrong though. What did you mean by correct? It IS a nice looking rifle though, from what we can see.

Maybe he meant 1953?

[browningautorifle]

1953?

Well, THAT would be different. Now, if he'll only come back with more pics...or just come back...

FWIW, there's no dash in M1
