It's the first semi-automatic rifle ever issued to an army, and only the second weapon designed for the 30.06 cartridge. Granted its report was the last thing many people heard, but would you rather have had the alternative?

Sorry, tongue pushed so far in cheek that it must've garbled my message.
I'd love to have an M-1. I shot one years ago and found it a sweet machine.
