How do you guys feel about the AE rifles - with the rebounding hammer? I have only had the older ones, (including a 1952 carbine I should never have sold
![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)
I suddenly discovered to my horror that I no longer had a .30/30 Carbine and this '94 AE model has come along - absolutely mint, deluxe wood and checkering, 100% blueing and very nice, but I just wonder if the newfangled stuff would annoy me over time - the rebounding hammer - the AE flicking cases into my right eye...or whatever it does. I don't scope leveractions so the AE is not a feature for me. Going by serial number probably made about 1988 - 90 so does that mean it will have some other space age thing, like another additional tang safety or something?
I am tempted because its just such a beautiful rifle. (Only seen photos though)
Alternatively I have located another carbine from 1967 that is beat up and worn silver on the outside, but with a mint condtition barrel and for much less.
What is the general feeling among the levergun community?
