    Rem 597 stuck case

    PapaBear, give the rear of the chamber a good look at also. If the previous owner dry fired it a lot it'll peen the edge of the chamber over and create extraction issues. It's an easy fix if you have a chamber iron.

    AK 47

    Your better Ak's are the Bulgarian, Hungarian, Yugoslavian/Serbian, Polish (rare),Egyptian (Maadi) and Chinese, Just about in that order. Like others have said, the Romanians are really hit and miss, mainly because of who's building them. Another option is a converted Saiga which is basically a...

    Night Sights

    Price range $60 to $150. Gunsmith installation depends on which sights and on which gun,you have to be a little more careful with tritium sights then others.

    M1 Carbine Issues

    I'm guessing that the extractor is in a bind (because of the crack) and not moving over the rim of the case. Looks like you need a new bolt,which isn't a problem,however head spacing may be. That would require the removal of the barrel and some specialized tools. E-mail me at...

    SKS Magazine problem

    Here is a factory 20 round SKS mag. I've used them in the past and they work as well as the 10. You still have to load with strippers but they do give you an extra 10 rounds. They're getting harder and harder to find though and they usually aren't cheap...

    CZ82 on the way! Unless you want to loose your religion don't ever take that puppy down to pins and springs! Setting the sear safety can be one very nasty experience!! It is a fun little pistola though and the 9X18 doesn't get near the mention it should.
