How do you clean the detachable magazine of a semiautomatic rifle ?
Q. The magazines (also known as clips) of my rifle get very dirty in use. Eventually the build-up of spent nitro will cause the magazine to jam and the result is a misfeed. But I can't see a good way to clean the magazine. My rifle is a 22LR Remington 597 semi-automatic with 10 cartridge clips and a stainless barrel.

A. First of all, clips are NOT the same thing as magazines. Your gun has a magazine. I'm not familiar with the Rem 597, and I don't know if the magazines are serviceable (able to be taken apart or not). Most cleaning kits come with a brush that looks a lot like a tooth brush, that you can use to clean off the lips of the magazine with.

Where can I find the Miniature Books magazine?
Q. I've been trying to find a magazine that was released in the UK a few years ago. It was a magazine that had miniature versions of famous novels (Dickens, etc.). I think you got one free with every issue and I think a magnifying glass free with another. Does anyone have a link to the website or know where I can buy the magazine? Thanks a million!

What do artist charge for magazine illustrations?
Q. I need some illustrations for a magazine. It is a university magazine and our circulation is about 70,000. I need one cover illustration and three inside, all 8.5x11. I don't even know where to begin.

A. Depends on, both, the magazine and the artist. Some magazine publishers set their own standard rates for illustration, often depending on the size of the image (the origianal, not the magazine page size). Publications with smaller circulations will, of course only be able to pay a lot less than one with a larger circulation. On the other hand, artists can charge what they want for their work. A more well known illustrator can ask a LOT more than another, who is not so well known. The quality of the artwork is NOT a significant factor. So, it should be clear that some artists can price themselves beyond what some magazines can pay. To help you figure out where you might stand in this hierarchy, I suggest you find a copy of a book… [cont.]
