I find that a rather amazing logic. The US turned out in excess of 10k a day of these things in 3 different factories. There is no way they would put that much effort into producing something that wasn't intended to be used directly in the war.
For one, I'm just learning for the first time the bolt doesn't hold open on an empty mag. Interesting. I'm sure there is a lot more to learn about this thing.
Can't wait to get my hands on it.
