Not only that, but if the carbine in question is one of the older "flat top 
bolt" versions, unless you shoot it real slow, you will jam about evry 
third round. I understand that this problem only became apparent after the 
gun had worn a little. It was fixed with a bolt redesign, hence the "round 
top" version.
