Sorry to hear about your M41 troubles...I've owned or been issued somewhere over a dozen and have a new PC 41 now that I'm working with. It shoots extremely well with Eley Tenex ammo; I intend to use it this season for bullseye. I like everything about the PC 41. I understand your frustration, though...I had free armory support if I had a problem (and I had a few).
