Manipulating a four-year-old into eating her vegetables would have been easier. Our test rifle’s safety lever was also extremely stiff. I highly advise M1A owners to install a winter trigger guard. The shooter’s trigger finger has to be inside the trigger guard and in front of the trigger to take the rifle off of safety.
