Nope...have limited my "time wasted" on the forum to checking it once a week of less...didn't need that kind of stress in my life beyond that created by job, kids, wife, family and a dozen other factors.
So I missed another thread...meh...
Not the brightest bulb on the christmas tree is he?
Your thumb doesn't go there soldier! Jam a clip in and get back to shooting Nazis! (key to getting the bolt locked back is to not treat it like a safe queen. Jam the charging handle back hard, M1's can take it!)
BTW, once the clip is seated, don't sit there admiring how awesome eight rounds of M1 ball look in the rifle while the bolt slams on your thumb... Get your finger back on that trigger, you've got Nazis to shoot!
