FWIT, I just tried out my Danish M1with Var barrel yesterday at the range with Rick B on hand. It functioned flawlessly, as if new. Accuracy excellent with Ball ammo. With each shot it got better and better. I used the sight settings as they came from CMP at 100 yards. All were on the paper from the first round. Am I happy, like a pig in you know what. Would I do it again, you bet. No regrets. By the way, I was going to purchase an M1A from Springfield. Glad I changed my mind.
