"So, Bob explained: I spent a year and a half refining the whole thing to make it fully acceptable from the closed bolt to ATF and reliably self-loading. I like to use that term, self-loading, because semi is like semi-pregnant. I mean, either it is or it's not. So I used that term self-loading rifle.
