Thanks! That's the kind of thing I wanted to know.

You're welcome.

One more thing - I read an account once by a Korea veteran about one night his outfit was trying to hold back a Chinese human-wave attack.

When it was over, the stock was charred from the heat of the barrel, and his shoulder was numb for several days and black-and-blue for weeks.

The fact that he was alive to tell the tale implies his M1 did not fail him.
