[QUOTE="shortgrass, post: 1655741, member: 24284"] There only "original" .30 Cal. M1s are in museums. The rest are "mix-masters" , having been rebuilt numerous times. Something has been changed,,,,, the clip latch, the operating rod, the gas cylinder. JAMES RIVER ARMORY would have informed you if this rifle is a 'collector', or not. They do this work exclusively. And, there's a difference between a worn out piece and a 'collector'. The true "collector" is in "as issued" condition, not one with numerous worn out parts. I see numerous Colt revolvers come through my shop every year that are worn out beyond repair, yet their owners' still seem to think they are worth a million bucks! [/QUOTE]
