If you purchased a makarov barrel from Federal Arms Corp. sometime before Oct. 2001, the FBI will probably be contacting you to seize your weapon and test fire it. It seems a federal prosecutor was killed is Wash. state and he was a big anti gun activist. Someone with enough power has had the FBI running down these barrels for a few years . I can not believe they expect that the culpret will hand over the gun so I guess they are collecting data to go after another Brady Bill as soon as Democrates get in office.
