If you farted loudly near it, it started acting up, and was HORRIBLY "Delicate". I get to see the entire other spectrum, as well. My "CMP" was an oil soaked DOG, made up out of a whirlwind of salvaged and mismatched parts. BTW, I shot in Canada with issue FN RACK RIFLES, and missed as frequently as I can with an M1. The FN is about FORTY TIMES as reliable, IMHO. I'd say not much more than my M1 A , though. There's a few here at the fire have shot it,....ask them. GTC Last edited by crossfireoops; 01/07/12.

I wonder if the Garand in the video has one of those Peice o' [bleep] cast receivers?

Springfield Inc. used some pretty bad ones as did Century Arms. Lithgow was one of the vendors for those cast turds.

Those rifles are pretty much only good for stripping parts from to build up a USGI forged receiver.
