[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1815380, member: 3455"] Having that 1916 or FR-7 - is like owning a revolver that is marked 357 Magnum, chambered 357 Magnum, but designed to shoot only 38 Special loads: you end up kaboom sooner or later. It is appetizingly chambered in common round, but the action is just not strong enough - I've heard reports of .001" bolt set back PER ROUND fired. And, yes, you can make it last very long with reduced hand loads - except I've never heard of one them shooting very well. So you end up with a weak rifle, that you have to make hand loads and it doesn't shoot well - I can see it happening with some sort of vintage/classic/historic firearm; but all that trouble just because Spaniards decided to play "bubba" ... not in my book.
