I’m not familiar enough with these guns to tell what I’ve got. I opened the bolt and looked but I didn’t see anything that looked like a stamped or welded part. This gun is in near new condition. Has a total of four mags, and at least 200 rounds of factory hollow points as well as another couple of hundred rounds of ball ammo. It’s so slick handling that I almost hate to part with it. But, I have a late model Mini 14 that’s undoubtedly more accurate and hard hitting. It’s also heavier. At my age, heavy is not a good thing. Maybe I should dump the Mini and keep the M1 C.
Can anyone post a picture of an old and new version or just one of them that I could compare?
