the gas action extending the recoil and the extra 1 to 1 1/4 pounds of additional weight. I have a M1 that I built as a Master Class Highpower rifle. It is in .308Win. and with my handloads will shoot 1 1/2" at 200 yds, benchrested, if I do my part! I also have a 2 groove Springfield, 1938 serial# with a 1944 barrel, that will outshoot most all of the rest of my military rifles.
