I've been drooling over this gun for about 3 years. I've read a fair amount about it, and it's definately possible to blow yourself up with it. Same with a CVA. I'd still go out and buy a CVA if I felt so inclined. I'm not out to shoot 500 yards at this point. I just want to be able to shoot a ML much more than I do right now, and this will allow me to do it. I do appreciate the heads up, don't get me wrong.
