Now I'm having second thoughts of shooting it. I never intended for it to be a safe queen but never intended to fire it a lot either. Maybe a magazine or two every once in a while. What type of risk of breakage is there? I don't think this one has been fired much but who knows. Lot of opinions both for and against out there. Rather have some solid data if I'm going to take the risk.

What about finding a cheap upper assembly and using that to shoot? Some guys talk about that also.
