The M1 is a superb rifle, looks good, shoots decent. Sadly the M16 is a more
accurate rifle but from a "reliability in the field when serviced by hamfisted
grunts" standpoint the M1 is a much better device.

That does sound cool - share pics along the way. My son just bought an M1
through the CMP program, and has very thoroughly gone through it, bought the
gauges to check it, etc. and is very happy with it (one of the reasons for the
bullet stop discussion earlier).

I'm thinking my birthday present to myself is going to be a Brown Bess musket
kit. You get an original 200+ year old barrel and lock with new partially
inletted wood. You have to clean up and derust the metal, then finish the wood.
About half the price of one already done, $650 vs $1250...
