Lofty,
Very,very nice piece there. However in my state,they are BANNED.

Fifty three years ago I had one that was quickly thrust into my hands and it did not work at the worst possible time.

Pretty well soured my taste for the AR/M-4 type weapon from then on.

I turned the remnants of the M-16 back to the armory and "acquired"
(Military translation=S.T.O.L.E) a Stevens Model 77 12 ga pump with a 16" bbl. Things went much better from then on.

Yes,they have improved the platform dramatically but the stigma for me still remains.

Again,a super nice piece.
