I’ve had a MSAR for years. Never a problem. It has an honest 5k + rounds through it, not a world record, and all brass cased. It has been taken care of so there is that. Back in the 80’s or 90’s a group of Irish Army troops came to the base to train with another group. They had AUGs so did a...
I have a 1914 in very good shape. I cannot recall it ever failing to fire and cycle, although it does cycle with more enthusiasm with hand loads or European ammo.
I also have a HSc and a Beretta 81. I prefer the 1914 over the HSc . The Beretta is sweet but really does nothing the Mauser couldn’t.
Buffalo Bore makes/made a LFN loading that was excellent. I use Rim Rock hard cast 75gr. FP, same as BB, and Starline brass with a CCI 500 loaded to euro spec.
I bought mine in late ‘77 or early ‘78. Bridgeport made in the 30xxxx a range. I learned how to reload because of this gun. I have noted in records it, and a pretty decent leather holster, set me back $129.95 OTD. If I’d had bought a couple of more I could have retired early.
Got one. Bought it years ago before some folks started having problems. It has always run perfectly, no gripes. Very accurate. I am more spooked by the fixed optic than the rifle mechanicals, although it has been fine.
The Czechpoint vz rifles are very nice ( and currently somewhat in stock at Atlantic ). Very accurate, reliable and build quality is excellent. I have 2 of them and other family members also own them. No troubles at all. A go-to rifle.
I think I would look for a used revolver from Ruger. Smiths and Colts are nice but even used reach for yer wallet. A .357 has a goodly bit of recoil - akin to holding a few firecrackers in your hand- so I would opt for the stoutest gun I could afford.
I have a Savage 24V (.357 over 20 gauge) bought new around 1983. Wood stock and iron sights. Very accurate with most any bullet and the shotgun patterns well. It was priced wrong at a Walmart @$125. I should have bought a few more.
