- oooops. I meant the M1 as in the Springfield version of the M-14. It is
- possible that the M-1 Garand could go on the restricted list. However, it
- was exempted by name from the 5-round magazine limit. If it does become
- restricted, it means more paperwork but there should be no reason why you
- can't keep it.
