Completely different designs really. The M1 is a gas operated semi-automatic. The M2, which is its select fire variant, would be considered an assault rifle by some. The 10/22 is a straight blowback operated semi-automatic. There might be some cosmetic similarity if you dress them up in the same clothes, but they are different as can be on the inside.

Ultimak rail, a laser or holo sight, folding stock and modern ammunition- what's not to like about a package like that? BTW, great SHOT Show coverage. Thanks for the excellent images.

So I just put an Ultimak rail on it. I thought of doing that to my M1 Carbine for the same reasons, but side-folders are Verboten in the California People’s Paradise-Gulag, as are over 10-rounders…

Like most folders, however, it develops a bit of wobble as it ages. :( That looks like a Choate side-folder, which is a fairly decent piece of gear.
