I used to be a big fan of these old guns but after personally seeing 4 or 5 blown receivers I only kept the somewhat collectible ones I own. I personally would not fire one now.

I was on the bench at a 100 meter tournament, when one of the "open bench" ranges called for help. One of these "Wonderful" pieces of junk, had the rear reciever completely fail and the unfortunate shooter lost an eye. The Bolt sheared the rear Lugs and the fragments went through a pair of shooting glasses like they weren't even there. This is probably the most poorly designed and engineered designs on the market. (Here is another example of the poor engineering and materials that they are made of. Notice how the crack follows the "punch" marks in the crude labeling
