I have wanted an m1 for a while,have done some minor research on them. I picked up a sprng m1 with a nov 1942 receiver. has a 1943 original barrell that gauges a 2-3.. original stock in above aver. shape. trigger group is a w.r.a... has the lock-bar rear sight... I picked it up at a local gun show for 960.. The big seller for me was the lock-bar sight and 1943 barrell.. Was it a decent buy?
