I know a guy that has used one for lever silhouette and it is extremely accurate he’s done quite well in the pistol cartridge category and has shot thousands of rounds through it. He really likes it and I’ve been tempted to get one for that game as sometimes it’s difficult to keep that many rounds loaded for the matches. He’s not had any problems like mentioned by the previous post and not sure what had to happened to allow gases to came back at the shooter - the breech bolt is steel and so is the barrel, lock up is similar to a Savage 99 - maybe a headspace issue that manifested over time?
Just picked up a model 56 thanks to a member on here 😊 and have had a 62 for years - I kinda like them. The trigger typically does need some attention but both are more accurate than you might expect.
