    Excellent device, solves timing problems. It is a drop in replacement op-rod catch. Clip stays in the rifle after last shot. You can load an empty clip into the rifle and top load rounds as you wish.

    A google search will show how to make one.

    M1 thumb is an empty rifle handling issue so the Holbrook device has no effect on that. Otherwise, it does what it is supposed to do.

    would work great with a Brass catcher.

    Never had a M1 Thumb but a Hakim Finger is real bad! $%^&**##

    I have one in one of my M1's and I'm going to remove it. Nothing like the ejection ping!!! Just have to keep my thumb out of the way, as I do with all the others. (But I have had two M1 thumbs and an M1 finger.)

    don't you just remove the accelerator from the op rod latch?

    There is a bit more to it than that.

    M1 thumb is an operator failure issue. So is Hakim Finger. Load either correctly and you'll have no issues with 'em.
    Holbrook devices and anything like it is nothing but a way of separating you from your money.
    Spelling and grammar count!
