I have two brothers that own property near Mark Twain Lake. There is a gun range there run by the Army Core of Engineers. That is where I do most of my shooting. Busch Wildlife has gotten so crowded the last time I was there I waited over an hour, and could only shoot for an hour.

Thanks for all of the replies. My local Cabela's has the small Limbsaver in stock, and I still have a gift card from Christmas that will more than cover it. I'll pick one up this Saturday. I just need to get a sling and I'll be set. Can't wait to go back out. Besides my 1938 Izhevsk Mosin, I have a ...

I forgot about the Limbsaver slip on. Anyone know what size I would need to get? Also, to top off the great day my order for 880 rounds of Bulgarian Surplus ammo came in today. Received 2 440 round spam cans of 1972 silver tip ammo. Luckily it did come with the opener. Can't wait to try them out, al...

I took my Mosin to the range today and fired it for the first time. First things first...it was a blast. The recoil was not as bad as I thought it would be, less then my 12 gauge shotgun. I also tried shooting with the bayonet. It sure makes the rifle look long. Getting used to the sights took a lit...

I just received two 440 rounds spam cans of Bulgarian 1972 surplus for just under $160.00 from SGAmmo. When I ordered this past Tuesday they received 417 creates...they were empty within 6 hours. http://www.sgammo.com/product/surplus/880-rounds-762x54r-bulgarian-com-bloc-mid-70s-production-surplus-a...

Last week I took the gun apart and took the metal bits to my brother's auto shop and used his parts washer to clean all the cosmoline off everything with mineral spirits. It got most of it off, but still had to use some carb cleaner in the barrel and chamber with a brush. Dried everything off with c...

Thanks for all the replies...this is the reason I found this site and to learn more about the Mosins.

Another quick question. I know how to check the firing pin spacing with the tool, but how critical is it to check the head space? Is the No Go gauge the best way to check? I've heard that as long as the original bolt is with the gun the chances of having a problem with head space is very small.

Thanks all. Where is the best place to get the ammo pouches, sling, and stripper clips? I have the cleaning kit an oil can.

I just bought mt first Mosin Nagant 91/30. Cabelas had the for $119.00 this past week so I got there early this past Thursday and looked a few over. This was the best of the 3 they let me look at. It's a 1938 Izhevsk with all matching numbers, including the bayonet. I know the stock is not the origi...

SGAmmo has Brown Bear 174 Grain FMJ for $11.00 a box...I just bought 10 boxes until they get more crates of the surplus. I ordered on 2/28, was shipped on 03/01 and scheduled to be delivered on 03/05.

Hello everyone...new here. I just found this forum after buying a Mosin. I do have a Russian 1954 Izhevsk SKS I bought this past fall and thought I would share. It is kind of unique as it is an Izhevsk but has a Tula stock, and a blued bayonet. http://images46.fotki.com/v274/photos/2/1012932/9703965...
