It was an interesting rifle, made Garand thumb seem mild tho. I got a really nice one at an auction, no issues with a frozen gas regulator or anything. Didn't work well at first, broken firing pin. Parts are not exactly easy to find for them. Couple extra extractors since they are known to break them. Now that I load for that caliber and cast, a little wish I had kept it. But not enough I regret selling it.
