I had the carbine and gunned a few deer with it back when we all had to have a 742 or a 100 to shoot deer with. It worked okay if I kept it really clean, but that mushy trigger finally got me to take it to a local bubba gunsmith who reworked it so that it shot twice with every trigger pull. Not wanting to double tap deer he refixed it and I sold it for a nicer one and done bolt action. As a youth, run and gun deer hunting with a semi-auto was more attractive than it is today.

My other auto is a .45

The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory
