I've had my 98 for about 4 years now, and it's had plenty of use. I had one problem with the trigger sear once but a few bucks and that got fixed. What's gonna be the next thing to go? How long do the internals last? ------------- In a world where everyone has gone mad, only the lunatic is truly sane. |

If kept oiled and clean with occasional "O" ring replacement...5 to 10 years between failures is reasonable. (disregarding manufacturer's defects, such as the recent improperly hardened sear and hammer) -------------

| I couldn't seeing anything messing up besides a few o-rings, and possibly the sear or hammer. Otherwise it would most likely be the user's fault. |
