I'm am consirdering a CMP M1 purchase and have not purchased one before.
I cannot decide between the Danish and U.S. models since I have not been able to personally compare them.
My first priority is to have a good shooter. I'd like it to look good too, but am prepared to buy a new stock. Collectability and value is least important at this time.
I would appreciate some opinions and input from those who have seen and handled both.
I would also like a little information concerning the "VAR" barreled Danish M1's that are available for $25 more than the standard service grade. Supposedly they are considered better shooters by some, but just how much better can they expected to be? If they are significantly better than the standard Danish M1's, would they also be cosidered better shooters than the U.S. M1's?
Other than the fact the Danish rifles may have mixed parts of U.S. and European manufacture, is there any other reason they are less desireable? Other than manufacturer's marks, will the U.S. and Danish rifles look any different, considering they are in similar condition?
Any other opinions are additional information would also be useful.
Has anyone reading this made a recent purchase and can say what the current turn around time for and order will likely be?
