He's right.

My M-1 bit my thumb once, and it doesn't do my right shoulder any favors.

My M1 got my index finger a few days after I got it. I found out the hard way that the bolt will rest nicely on the bullet guide .... until you see a speck of lint and reach in to get it ... OUCH! #$#@@#*&! (Suck finger. Nail turning black.) OWWWWW!

The M-14, which replaced it, had and has far better manners, IMHO, from having qualified with both, Marksman with the M-1 and Expert with the M-14.
