    Will be interesting to see if anyone picks up that Moore jig grinder. I saw a #2 and #3 go to the scrap yard last year. Both were in great shape but nobody bid on them.

    I have also seen versions where the cover slides in a dovetail, instead of a hinged trapdoor. You can expose one or multiple cartridges.

    I bought one when they were much cheaper, along with a couple of the 480 round ammo packs. Very accurate rifle, especially for an as-issued military gun.

    Agreed - I would not feel under gunned with my Ruger Mk 1 .22 and a full clip. It points well and 10 rounds of Stingers is nothing to sneeze at.
