I emphatically agree on the chamber area ,I've thought re barreling and re contouring the area ...but then its getting into much more work than I want to put into one of these ,this was as I mentioned a quick and cheap way for me to get into a reliable single shot at the time.

The triggers are bad no doubt and vary from rifle to rifle ,I also have a single shot in 30-06 that I've restocked for my sons first moose tag this fall and while the 223 trigger is decent the 30-06 is much better you have to learn to shoot them ,neither of these is bad enough that I've attempted to mess around with them just the same
