On right now. Sure blows any claim the antis have of Afghan terrorists buying guns at US gun shows. If they can't steal it or take it from their enemies, they make it.

Interesting show. Especially about the U.S. buying all those Soviet bloc weapons and sending them in there. I wonder where we bought Soviet weapons when the Russians were running the show in Eastern Europe?

Some of those bolt action rifles they showed at the arms bazaars early in the show looked like fancy sporting weapons.

Great historical piece. I was however curious about them saying that the Dragunov was 2 moa at 100 yards. I would have expected better. Wonder if this is true. Also interesting seeing the enfields and mosins. Guess I gotta get an enfield to add to the safe now.

They are pretty much right on as far as the Drag is concerned. Some will do MOA, but it really is for sharp shooters to use as opposed to snipers. With the correct ammo it is better than is usually reported, but would still fail any sniper test that the Western world would give it.
