    Jamming Makarov

    I took my new mak out to shoot, and if functioned flawlessly until about 100rds had been fired. At that point it began jamming. The slide would fail to go all the way forward. The ammo seemed to produce alot of black fouling. I think that the extractor was sufficiently dirty that it wouldn't...

    E. German vs Bulgarian Makarov

    I know that the finish is supposed to be better on the German but are there any other differences. I am buying several and want to know if it is worth paying $20 more for the E. German.

    I have a very nice looking Swedish Mauser in 6.5x55, the only problem is that it doesn't shoot well. I get dinner plate sized groups at 75 yards.

    I need suggestions on CCW for church and other times when I need to look neat. My wife complains that I have quit tucking my shirt in since I began carrying routinely a year ago. Our church is very casual about dress so a T-shirt is fine but I prefer to look a little nicer than that. I...

    Bill Clinton: Next Supreme Court Justice

    This isn't my idea, I heard it from a wise old man while roofing a house last week. If Al Gore is elected president, isn't it likely that he would appoint Bill to the Supreme Court? What could be more attractive to Bill than being a Supreme Court Justice. It would give him great power and...
