[QUOTE="ZG47, post: 3017643, member: 91441"] Free float initially. I have never heard of any issues with free floating that barrel here in NZ. The Model 1 has a lighter weight barrel than the Model 2, which was developed as a better solution for the Egyptian Army after issues, primarily due to tight tolerances, reportedly came up during recruit training. The Model 5, incidentally, appears to have used up surplus Model 1 barrels BUT with a nicer backsight, if I recall correctly. Have fun. I once saw my then hunting partner neck-shoot a possum in a tree from approximately 30 metres whilst standing, with an open-sighted JW15, relying upon moonlight and a spotlight held by another member of our shooting party. These rifles will shoot! [/QUOTE]
