What has come of the three?
They have all move on to new homes.
I built the M1 for my grandson to get used to a bit of recoil/noise and it worked well for that. Cleaning the gas piston was a pain in the butt after using corrosive ammo. The system wasn't designed to be used with corrosive.
I liked the way it shot though so after selling the M1 to a trapper, I sleeved a mod 1907 351. That was almost to easy. It fed from the original mag without a hiccup and of course being a blow back action, no gas port/piston to disassemble when cleaning. I used Titanim Putty Epoxy mix to glue the two diameter liner in place. Might have been easier just to make up a new barrel but for some unknown reason I wanted the rifle to appear original. That rifle is heavy for the cartridge and recoil is almost undectable. Not sure where that rifle went after I sold it.
The Zastava was a bit trickier to convert. The mini mauser claw picked up the round out of the mag easily but the action is designed for a longer cartridge and it required a lot of fiddling to get it feeding reliably.
I can't see doing another. My homemade D reamer chipped and is useless soooooo.
Beater wants to convert a LE. There is even more fiddling to get one of those working properly, unless it's only going to be used as a single shot.
Special bolt head, special extractor and then there is the gap the cartridge has to cross to get to the chamber and the list goes on.
