Say Goo, the latest American Rifleman magazine has an article about M1C & M1D.

Flash enhancer.

Reminds me to get the M1d out this weekend and shoot it. I guess I haven't shot it in about 8 years. I think it's lonely.

You are a softy at heart. Yes. You should give it some quality time. ...and quality ammo.:grommit:

If the plumber finishes my sump pump I'll be able to get to the safe. Right now there are 6 or 8 bags of stone in front of it and i'm not going to move them.

Latest issue of GCA has an article on the M1D. That article claims the clamp-on cone flash suppressor caused accuracy problems for the M1. FWIW.

i don't doubt it.

what amazes me is that it was approved for issue in the first place.

Goo, I've read (don't remember where) that if the suppressor is a tight fit that accuracy will not be affected and sometimes even be enhanced. Unfortunately most all suppressors are a loose fit.

What I never knew till I shot a heavy caliber with them is silencers, suppress the flash, suppress the noise, and suppress recoil! Point of aim may be a bit off from when it's removed, but accuracy is generally the same.
