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.)

Or is "less chatter, more splatter" more your style? Then go see Varmint Vapor Vestry!
