Whitney Wolverines live!

I also have an original Whitney but I haven't shot it in a long time. I remember the reputation they had of developing cracks and the having part of the bolt fly out the back causing injury to the shooter. I have experiance with the fireing pin fly out and strike my sighting EYE (THE GOOD ONE) from a LES Rogack copy that didn't have a roll pin retainer installed. Once is too many for me so I suggest either don't shoot an original Wolverine or check the bolt for signs of cracks after each clip fired. Bob Benson
