Very nice!! I might even be able to own something like that back in New York.
I very much like the idea of owning an M1, especially because it’s definitely NY legal (fixed magazine). But I’m not willing to pay $800-$1000 dollars for a 50-year-old rifle that may or may not have had the shit abused out of it. At that price I’d probably rather buy like... 10 SKSs. :)
