Not a big deal, but an annoyance.
Springfield M1A, was feeling pretty lucky, as
for the most part the weapon fires well and doesn't exhibit any improper fittings or such. Right up until I attempted to reload
from a stripper clip. Seems the clip guide
is too small, which is to say the dogs are too shallow to accept a stripper clip.
The width is correct, but the "front to back" clearance is off.
I was thinking I could just carefully file the dogs back a bit, but thought I would ask here first.
Thanx in advance.
As a side note, Springfield gets a lot of money for this firearm, why is it they appear to not care a lot about final product?
