Do you recall what part they considered 'weak'???

I thought the opening at the rear under the cocking knob was odd; and the inability to get a feeler gauge in the receiver to measure headspace is annoying...It's also somewhat distracting to pull the trigger and see the trigger bar emerging from the bottom of the receiver...

I was particularly interested in the barrel itself, and the almost exact similarity to the 120mm 30 cal Luger 'pencil' barrel...I am tempted to try to find an old shot-out Nambu barrel/extension and drill & tap it for a 30 Luger 'pencil' barrel...
