Anyone ever notice that whenever you see a thread started with "My first M1" your almost garaunteed to click on it and see pics of a rifle that looks to have been boosted from the Springfield museum? Lock bar sights proper cartouged stock in excellent condition all or almost all SA parts. Now I begrudge no one for getting such a pearl congrats and good shooting. But as someone who covets the Springfield war era M1's I can't help but get sick with envy.
