The main thing thats preventing me from getting an M1 is the apparent ammo restraints. I've done some research and I've learned that the M1 should be restricted to mil-spec 30-06 ammo and should not be used with modern ammo.
The only mil-spec stuff I'm seeing out there is old Greek ammo, and when that's all gone, then what?
Also, if I buy a rifle, I want to be able to shoot it when I want to shoot it. I don't want just a collectors item to hang on the wall and show off. Being that the model I'm looking at is from the Korea era, how much life is left in these things?
I'm a big history buff and love the M1, but are my concerns warranted?
As for taking it out to the range, I'm talking maybe a couple hundred rounds a year.
Yes, I do reload pistol rounds. I've never reloaded rifle rounds though, and even so, I don't know if it's a good idea to have a rifle around that relies on only reloaded ammo. Any thoughts?
