Yeah, I'm familiar with M1 thumb having shot one for several years in high power competition. The worst though was my buddie that was viewing a M1 for purchase.He stuck his little finger in the chamber area to view the bore from the muzzle and....you guessed it...slammed shut. I shut my thumb in the door of a 55 Chebby once and nearly fainted!!!!!!
