My M-1 bit my thumb once, and it doesn't do my right shoulder any favors.

The M-14, which replaced it, had and has far better manners, IMHO, from having qualified with both, Marksman with the M-1 and Expert with the M-14.

The M1 is an excellent deer hunting rifle; the M14 is a reliable life saver.
