I have had 3 steel receiver Japanese BLR's with the drop down clip and have had absolutely no trouble at all with any of them. 2 308s and still own a 358. I used one of the 308s when I was guiding full time with no trouble . I also know of a couple earlier Belgium guns that have been used and carried hard for years that are very dependable. I like them very well and recommend the early ones.
