[M2 vs M1?]

I have an old Ithaca 37 that was my dad's. it still shoot very well but the Modified barrel is more like wide open. My dad liked it for rabbit hunting- #4 shot and short barrel for in the woods.

 

Ithaca does cycle very easy. Will try to compare locally. Thanks.

[M2 vs M1?]

Looking to buy a 28" M2 or M1 preferably used due to current budget.

 

I like the M2 stock and butt pad, but I can buy a M1 much less money. Will the M2 butt pad fit onto a M1?

 

What are the other differences in the M2 vs M1?

 

Mechanically, are they the same..?

 

Is the M2 worth a large difference in price? I can't seem to find a M2 used in 28" Field.
