I am waiting for Dave too. Then I wonder, is it because this is steel ammo in general or is it the maunfacturer? I am very leery of the guy in the video for some reason. Almost like I remember some reason to be and can't recall it. Oh well, hafta wait for the main gazzaine to hear it from the world of reason and experience.
And now I am wondering what difference, if any, a fluted chamber makes.

these rifles can fire out of battery. They have floating firing pins and will slam fire. when the 1st rounds primer looked like that i prolly would have stopped shooting it

I pointed this to , but I would think with a slam fire a garand would throw a two, maybe three shot burst. The vid does not support that, to me anyway. I am thinking worn parts, maybe headspace problem.

Why would a slam fire throw 3 rounds?
