Welcome!
You'll be fine in the subsonic realm!
Some things are different-Some are the same!
M1S will be fine.
Do NOT get in a hurry.
Do NOT get frustrated.
It is all about learning & having fun & not blowing yourself up ;)

ok the first issue is M1S did not send all the stuff I ordered will have to call them monday, here we go, how do mess up such a simple order?? well I got alot of cases that need to be reworked anyway . hope M1S customer service is ok , any experiences with them ???

Another newbie here with a new M1S upper. No problems with my order, so I haven't had to deal with there Customer Service. So far I have only shot a few 150 sp loads using up some 2400. Having the same issues with cycling that others have reported on other posts. Will try the AA1680 next.
No plans for a can here. Missouri just approved them here so, I'll wait to see how it goes for now.
Hope you have your order fixed soon.

welcome to both of you.
i bought a used M1S upper. the po worked out all the bugs then his needs changed. it works great for me. only thing i've gotten from them is a pistol/carbine buffer kit. works great too.

after working up about 200 rounds of brass today(cutting down .223) man thats some work alot different than the 45acp, bet you I dont leave not one peice of brass ever when shooting, will search high and low to find them cause I have too much time/work involved in them to lose them,

[Gpz1100]

I got one of those brass catchers imediately!!!!!! Best invention ever. Untill .300W goes main stream....then that thing is history.

when shooting form the bench I use a small dip net in a home made vertical holder to catch my brass. Had the gun mounted bag cause some jams...
