If they allow importation, I'll probably get one of each. The "blockade" by the State Department is completely out of order, and an overstepping of its authority. I'm surprised there is no lawsuit (or lawsuits) pending, but passing an actual law is probably as good or better than a judge's decision.
I did some post-recruit training with the M-1, but the rest of my late 60’s USMC enlistment was with the M-14 — I SO wanted to snatch one of those when I got out.
