Re: M1895 Chilean Mauser

have one, maybe a year newer than this one. love it, it is a joy to shoot, for $299 you just about can't go wrong unless it is a total mismatch with no cleaning rod.

Re: k31 100 yards

m44 shell ejection

My M44 (1945 Ivesh) has trouble ejecting the spent shells. I purchased a newer ejector and that did not seem to help any ideas?
