Grew up seeing our guys in Vietnam use them and then realized I could own the civilian version...if I had enough money, which was only about $375 at the time. Qualified Expert with the service version, just like Dad did with the Garand. Bought my first in 1982 and have had one almost continuously since then. They are light, accurate, fast-shooting and hold a lot of rounds. I have never owned one that jammed consistently. I see no reason not to like them.
