A set of springs might be all you need, they are even cheaper. Maybe I'll do internet commando malfunction drills or something with them. I got a pack of 5 and the only reason I keep them is because I'd feel guilty selling them. I know the AO are said to use USGI original specs, but I would add the later adjustable sight and of course a sling to make it complete.Īnyone have any recommendations in either direction? The new just seems like a better option for what I want to do with the rifle, but I'm concerned I won't get the same "experience" as I would with an original. Whereas the Auto Ordnance I can find new for ~600$. The lower end may have unmatched barrels/stocks/receivers and the higher end all matching but certainly not "collector" worthy. I can find local originals for between 800-1400$ depending on MFG and condition. I want to take my dad to the range and surprise him by pulling out a rifle he's been wanting to shoot ever since he sold his. My intention first and foremost is to shoot the rifle, I'm not a major collector and it won't be a safe queen. I've debated about either a original M1 in "shooters grade" or a brand new Auto Ordnance. My question: How are the Auto Ordnance M1s? Now, after a recent range trip where I had hands on a Inland M1 I think it's time I owned one. I've flirted with Mini-14s and Garands but never could commit. My father owned a mil-surp M1 when he was my age and since then he has been wanting one again. I've been pondering a M1 Carbine for a little while now.
