Another guy here with a ChiCom military one...

Mine has the semi-scarce issue FIXED 20 ROUND MAG.

Shoots OK, have a huge mess of ComBloc ammo on strippers for it, but the next time I take it out will prolly use some NC/BO PMC or Hornady in it.

(I keep getting these weird twinges the cheapo imported C/BE & NC/BE stuff might dry up. I'm prolly a bit paranoid, but WTF???)

From the feedback I've gotten from all & sundry who aren't just "keyboard shooters" the only ComBloc longarm one stands a chance of getting hold of that's capable of decent groupage would be a "Vasily Zaitsev special" 91/30 PU scoped Mosin-Nagant. (Apparently the Dragunovs leave a bit to be desired)

Not quite counting as "ComBloc" per se is the scarce Croatian "Manda" rifle--which looks like a German PzB. 39 with a Remington 700 type bolt assembly, and a Picatinny rail machined into the reciever! Only available in ONE calibre... .50 M2 Browning!

(Tito's Yugoslavia was "Non-Aligned" from 1948 to the breakup, and the at-long-last-independent-again Republic of Croatia is apparently attempting to go for Swiss grade neutrality, or at the VERY least, Non-alignment like India still has. Doesn't quite count as ComBloc by any stretch of the imagination.)
