Chuck,
Just as you I have always recomended not shooting the durn things. In most cases when guys asked me about them I told them that the U.S.G.I. parts were the best part of them and to get rid of the reciever and build up a nice rifle. I've seen really nice part on them. Another important lesson to be learned from another blow up like this one is to "always" wear shooting glasses and hearing protection. Anything you put between you and the firearm helps with a firearm failure. I guess we could say the same warning about the low number 03's huh. As with the Santa Fe's I always "warn" people about the possibility of a failure with them to. Some times I hear, well it was fine for grandpa and dad I then add that "you" might not be that lucky.

Regards
