Like the feel of the synthetic stock. Don't have to worry about 70 something year old wood needing to be glued, screwed together. Most notably the recoil plate area. I have the 9mm version and like it. Few hiccups to begin with but now with more ammo through it its working fine. Also with the cost of .30 carbine ammo,9mm is a no brainer.
Ya your right should have called but sometimes its nice to take the lazy way
