Mike G,
Here is an incomplete list of Russian complaints.

Weak magazine spring.
Weak interruptor (a proprietary metal part built into the receiver to guide the rimmed cartridge into battery). Both caused misfeeds.
Sharp edged hex receiver (cuts hands).
Jamming due to dirt and mud (not clear whether tight tolerances were blamed).

Quoted is the general from the Chief Department of Artillery who supposedly visited the Remington facility in 1916 and complained about the sloppy assembly work. According to him, parts of the already assembled rifles were hammered and bent into shape by workers. Another reference points to the Grand Duke in charge who recommended to annul the contract with Westinghouse altogether because its rifles could not pass quality inspection..

I have to correct my numbers. NEW was contracted to build over a million rifles, as well as Remington.
Your sample is small but very valuable because it is also random. Getting your response would be fantastic.

DE- Russians have a long memory span. They dredge up old stuff, and often manipulate it, catching their opponents off guard.
