OK. First of all let me start with the acknowledgement of a possible mistake. The records we have on file don’t show this pistol ever being fired before. But I would have sworn someone over here shot this pistol.
So…if one of you pops up and says these aren’t the first shots, you are correct. But I can’t prove it as I am typing this.
Now with all that out of the way, let’s get on with this. The B76 was a little finicky, but after a few rounds it seemed to settle in. I don’t recall specifically how this pistol locks, but the felt recoil felt like a straight blowback. For those who don’t know, I am describing a pistol trying to tear itself apart.
Finally…this gun isn’t thumbs-forward friendly. The ergos are such that it induces a malfunction, and cuts your hand in the process. I also suspect the recoil spring is gassed out. It seems very weak. Will need to order a replacement as well.
Sincerely,
Marky
