Who here or who here knows someone that has had a problem with the gas handling of a pre64? It is mentioned frequently, but I have yet to personally hear of any accidents. Then again admittedly my world is a small one.
If the design is such that it can happen, no doubt the possibility exits. However, I have yet to hear of any actual events that caused harm. Certainly it seems to me at least it would be an infrequent or rare occurrence and a nonexistent event using new or properly reloaded ammo.
Who here knows of any adverse events? I mean it's not like only a few bullets have been sent down the barrels of pre64 Model 70s.
Good question. I recall reading that is was a differnce from the 98 mausers and some felt it was a design flaw of the pre64's.
