I just wish I had pumped him for more information at the time, but we were pretty busy converting Model 59's. I ended up doing the conversion on about 500 of them before I was done. After I finished with the department guns, then I started on the privately purchased ones. I'll tell you that firing 3 magazines of 5 rounds each, through each gun takes the fun out of shooting after awhile.......
Hope this helps.
