My 1918A3 arrived today, and what a piece of workmanship! Built like a battleship, everything is massive and very nicely machined, amazing. I thought the M1 was heavy...

What do you use as a reference for those small technical details (lower swivel, bolt color, ...)? I am happy with mine as is, but might consider some of those changes later. Will be a few weeks till I can go to the range, but can't wait. Found some PDF copies of field and maintenance manuals on this site:
