You must have really shot the s*** out of this M41. I estimate that I have put through no less than 15,000 rounds through mine over the years and it still works like new. Have you an idea of how many rounds yours has fired? Most of my friends also have M41's and while I can not give you a round count for theirs, I know they have seen a lot of action and I can honestly say they all still function fine.
