Supposedly Lead Star is working on new production M1 rifles. At least that is what the PSA reps have said on their Farcebook page. Probably right after they release the MP5 clone. :-)Interesting. I'll have to look up some reviews. I wonder how it compares with Aero Precision or some of the other ARs in that price range. I've been wanting to step up a notch or two in quality for my next AR15.
