Hi All--

New here--I should be picking up a new AO M1 next week sometime at my FFL. I decided I wanted a shooter first, then maybe pick up an original some other time. It's been great reading in this forum and on the web and seeing that most of the range reports and reviews of the AO M1's are positive.

My rifle is from Davidson's, so beside the OEM warranty I have the Davidson's guarantee. Because I live here in occupied Konnecticut (where I belong to a gun rights group that is suing the government over the recent stupid gun laws), I am getting a ten-round magazine. But I'll pick up a couple more magazines to go with it.

To be honest, I wanted a good spare HD rifle before the state gets around to banning every semi-auto or something. This way I at least have a good chance of being grandfathered in should that happen.

I'll post some pics and a range report once the rifle arrives and I've had a chance to test it out.

Jeff
