The secret for keeping that gun reliable was keeping the outside of the magazine and the spring that wrapped around it clean and oil free (as in dry, per the instructions). Of course I didn't discover that well kept secret until it quit working right after I cleaned it and I got desperate enough to read the owner's manual.

It was the AL48 model by the way.


I am glad to be here.
