The Nagant revolvers were a sleeper for a long time at $100 or so. No other WWII pistol I can think of can be touched for that price. Now, they are creeping up like everything as supply dries up.

I don't think the price is bad if the import marks are minimal on them and shipping isn't horrible.

I do think interest in the Nagant revolvers increased over the last couple of years. I think when I bought mine, it was $140 and came with accessories. I think the R guns pistols also come with holster and cleaning rod.

Rguns also has the surplus ammo spam cans. It is definitely gone up in price as well. They have the can of 1092 rounds for $390.

I bought some of the aluminum Federal 9mm to use in my CZ75. I probably won't get to it for a while, let us know how it does. Much cheaper than 9mm anyways, and I hope better thaan the Tula.

Let me know how the aluminum stuff does. White Marsh Walmart had Tula steel 7.62x39, 7.62x54r and 9 Luger. Picked up a few of the 9mm for the Star B to see how it does. Shot the Star on Friday with some Freedom Munitions 115gr and had a hell of a time at first. Didn't feel like the rounds were setting in the mag right and it was hanging up. Got better as it got dirtier and shot the last two mags without issue.

When I took my Star B to the range I shot 50 rounds of Blazer brass through it. I only got 2 jams the entire time I shot it. Maybe I just got lucky with my Star B and Mags.

Two jams out of a box isn't particularly stellar. It's not terrible, but hardly what I'd want to depend upon. On the other hand, I've got one that does a lot worse with brass cased ammo.

Blazer brass is brass-cased. Right? :shrug:

For those with Star B jams, I don't know how many rounds you are loading but with mine and my dad's, I found that loading just 5 produced little if no jams. I almost always had a feed issue when loading a full 8. After I got an after market new mag, I can load 8.
I generally shoot 5 at a time anyway. It allows me to take a break between shooting and keeps the pace steady.

Found the same thing to be true with mine.

Same here, but I can usually go up to 6-7 rounds with improved performance over trying a full 8. The biggest change, though, is using the TulAmmo with rougher steel cases.

I was hoping it would be a cheap source of ammo.
