I gotta go with the 1928.

It has a better finish, better sights and uses drums or stick mags.

But they both rock.

If you are Vic Morrow.... the M1A1

Better looking? 1928 hands down. The one we have (that I have shot numerous times) is a 21-28 overstamp Navy model. Beautiful firearm. American engineering at its best.
