I have the old type. I can see how the new type is a big improvement.
Hey, did you ever have to change out the trigger lever? I did, trigger wouldn't reset I did the spring too but it was the lever. The thing rounded off and would slip right off the sear lever this is after thousands of rounds so perhaps a regular maintenance thing? just curious.. The only other issue I ever had was steel cased ammo chipped the factory extractor, replaced with an after market no problem.
