I currently have two left handed M1's in the house, had to buy the 2nd when junior got into turkey hunting with me and he decided he liked mine, alot!

I bought both used and have zero regrets. internals being wore out? Not likely at all.

Took me about a year to find the identical twin to mine for him, Found it on Gun Broker and paid about 900 IIRC.

Regarding the SBE, I'm one who thinks the 3.5 shells are not needed, especially for turkey. With a good choke a 3" shell is good for 50+ yards,

Shot a 3.5" Mossberg once, just once.
