The photos in the article show some really good looking rifles but $1100 seems a bit on the high side.
I hope they manage to stay in business for a while. The wood and blue steel of an M1 would be something different from todays tactical Tupperware.
Last year, I was at our local gun shop and browsing the used racks. I saw an M1 carbine and was just reaching forward to pick it up when someone reached around me and snagged it. Amazed at this bit of rudeness, I turned to look at the guy and it was a friend from work. He was just teasing me and said that I could have it. I actually had my eye on something else at the time so I told him he was welcome to it. He bought it but said that he would give me first choice if he ever decided to sell it. It was kind of beat up and was just a shooter and not a collectors piece.
