Despite performing well in trials, mass-produced rifles suffered from subpar quality control, leading to their withdrawal from service. The video discusses the two main variations (milled and stamped receivers), the unique 20-round magazines with bolt hold-open, and the rifle's international distribution, particularly to Albania and African nations.
