Neat old rifles. I have no facts to back me up, but the posting about parts failure at 540 rounds does not seem credible to me.

I'm really happy with mine. I went ahead and bought the stainless piston and cup and the gas tool. The old gal shot high at the last range outing. I'll take my SKS sight tool and get the elevation dialed in, maybe this weekend.

I've posted elsewhere about it. I'll probably keep this one.
