:cb2: They are terrific, especially if you find one of the stainless steel models. They have been out of production for years, but if you can find one, grab it. I think a lot of folks didn't like the way it looked, with the underlug on top of the barrel (would that make it an
overlug?). If you get to shoot one, you'll love it. You can still get magazines for it, too. It uses the same one as their high $ target model.
They made a light alloy model that had some kind of black coating on it that would flake off if it touched anything. (Avoid that one!)
As I just mentioned in another thread, mine shoots anything you put in it except Remington. It gets all gunked up with those.
And, it's a whole lot easier to clean than a Ruger Mark II. But then, I can put my car back together easier than a Mk. II. (Now I'll probably catch flack from all those Mk. II owners!)
