I owned one and sold it partly because of age and I didn't want to pass on and stick my wife with the paperwork on auto weapons.
The guy I sold it to had a hangfire with some kind of foreign surplus ammo and like a fool he did the "instant action" thing. The round went off in the receiver and bulged the receiver and blew out the bolt guides. He repaired it (he is a gunsmith) but it will never be the same again.
