I have a brand new Charles Daly and two anomolies stand out:

1. The firing pin stop is searching for a home (at least until today, I stoned a new EGW oversize stop into the slot and the extractor has stopped clocking.)

2. The barrel bushing is a storefront decoration! My barrel OD is .570...the bushing's inside diameter is .610...At least I don't have to worry about it binding up! I think the one the Marine Corps gave me in 1956 had a tighter fit!

I have also had a few fail to go into battery, but mine have been faulty reload cases.

I bought the Daly (my second one, the first was a disaster) as a winter project. I'm learning!!!!
