It is very easy with a heavy spring and has happened. Are you telling me that John Holbrook is nuts? Rick B

To add to this, a worn or weak Enbloc will surely allow a cartridge to slip allot easier and snag your thumb as has happened. It happens at Perry during the matches and on the line while loading. I have personally seen it and those who shoot the Garand regularly and didn't just buy there 1st Garand 5 months ago can tell you this. Your spamming every forum with this false information and it isn't right. Rick B
