I just ran into a fellow who bought one of the Century Arms MAkarovs that they rebarreled to 9mm Luger. He says it does not feed reliably so he sold it to me CHEAP, so I took a chance on it that I could make it run then re sell it. Any of you fine folks ever had one of these conversion guns? HAve some ideas on what it might take to get it to run OK? Anyone here WANT this piece for a truck/boat/tractor/under the seat or hide it somewhere in the house gun? I am quite sure it fires the FIRST round just fine, and it might not be all that hard to make run as a 9mm.
My first inclination is to play with the bullet seating and try to closely match the OAL of the Makarovs original round and thereby somewhat duplicate the feeding geometry. Other idea's or tips welcome.
