[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2269862, member: 711"] Treat your thumb like it's grown to the rest of your hand. When the bolt moves forward the handle pushes your hand forward and up, and brings your thumb with it. A friend of mine who is from the black rifle era bought a CMP M-1 several years ago. He didn't have a clue how to field strip it. So, I let my hindbrain loose and fieldstripped it on his living room floor in about eight seconds (slow, I know). He was amazed. Then he said "Now put it back together." I said "I don't remember how." The look on his face was simply priceless. When I told him not to use commercial ammo, he told me I was full of chit and managed to do some pretty substantial damage to a nice rifle. [/QUOTE]
