Okay, so all these guns are (at least with the Uxxxx SN) commercial units, with many bought by police departments or perhaps some other government department. Many were also sold to private collectors/shooters, but all are now C&R and thus if you own one or more importantly buy one, consider these items when preparing and firing your gun: If the gun is stumbling through FA, then check the ejector firs, as they do wear and can be repaired in-situ by a competent gunsmith. Remove the grip and pull the FCG off the gun. Remove the sear retaining clip and pin, then pull the sear/spring out. Examine the trigger bar and see if the end is worn (rounded) if so, get it fixed. Andrewski does these all the time. Note that the sear is hardened and is very unlikely to wear at all. Once you reassemble the FCG, as you mate it with the receiver, make sure that the sear spring is perpendicular to the receiver bottom. You may have to use a small screwdriver to push it toward the magazine well area to align it correctly. There is no detent to fit it into, and because you have to slide the FCG forward on the gun, the spring tends to set at an angle. If this happens, the gun will runaway on FA as there is not sufficient spring pressure to force the sear into the bolt notch. These are the three most common stoppage items for the M76. The extractors are robust and rarely fail, as is the bolt. If you are lucky enough (like me) to own a Scott Andrey bolt, then it will function perfectly in the gun, and the design is more robust than the OEM bolt. It does use a slightly longer extractor.... Good shooting out there!
