You do realize tht the M-1A (M-14) is an updated version of the M-1? The M14 cures the en bloc clip problem, uses the more modern version of the 30-06 cartridge, thereby providing the same firepower in a lighter cartridge housed in a larger capacity, quickly exchanged magazine, in the same overall package.....John Gerand was a consultant on the M=1 / M-14 redesign team......

FWIW I’ll take the M-14/M1A over the M-1 hands down......
