The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I picked up the revolver today... trying to post picyures but not having any luck... will try again tomorrow!

I'm picking up my first Nagant revolver in the morning... a Tula 1944 in excellent condition... asking price is $159 which includes the holster and rod... this seems like a pretty good deal today (I know they were a lot cheaper a couple of years ago)... what do you guys think?

son-in-law today... a 40 cal Glock 27 with night sights and a 22 round and 8 round clip, a full case (2,500) of Montana Gold 40 cal 125 grain JHP bullets, several hundred (400-500) 357 and 38 Special brass, 200+ 38 cal 125 grain JHP bullets, and a couple of braces used in raising and supporting cabi...

I got the spam can plus a box of 500 .22LR for $200 out the door including tax... probably about as good as can be expected right now :(

Is $119 too much to pay for Soviet era spam can of 7.62 x 54? Bought one today... seems like I paid $88 for a spam can around Thanksgiving.

I own three but owned zero as of last October... so I'm closing fast!!

Thanks... ordered. I had seen that site previously but the screw is marked as NI (not illustrated)... just overlooked it.

I have an older Taurus Model 66 357 Magnum... the cylinder lock screw got lost so now I have a freely spinning cylinder (not good). Taurus doesn't recognize the serial number (older) so they won't repair it. Does any one have a source for stuff like this... have tried all the big outfits with no luck.

I want a pistol caliber carbine for home defense but can't decide between these two or suck it up and shell out twice as much for a JR Carbine... thoughts??

Do you carry a bore light and headspace gauge? I usually do but don't find my main local gun store very eager to cut the cable tie on the bolt so I can examine the bore and bolt. What are your experiences along that line?

Forgot to add they also have two or three snipers with scopes at $599... is that reasonable?

Local gun shop has a 1917 dated Remington with all mismatched numbers and mild to moderate pitting. It has some Russian markings as well including the imperial arms so probably placed into service in Russian army prior to their surrender in 1917. The asking price is $279... seems high to me but what...

Eric and Barry called the AR the prom queen of assault type rifles and the AK the biker bitch!! Check them out... hilarious!

Thanks everybody... I'll just try one of the slip-ons!

Hey guys... I'm looking for a decent rubber butt pad for a T-53 and 91/30 (are these interchangeable?). I've seen some on Amazon but the reviews say they're too hard to effectively reduce the recoil. Any suggestions?? Happy New Year!!

You'll be sorry... there is no cure for Mosinitis other than more Mosins... one is too many and a thousand is never enough! Welcome aboard!!

1.) What is the maximum time you would soak barrel and other parts in mineral spirits for cleaning cosmoline?
2.) Is there a problem in using a heart gun on the wood stock for bleeding out the cosmoline?

I bought my first Mosin in Sept 2013... really didn't know anything about them then but price was too good to pass up... have now bought 3 since Sept 2013... little buggers are addictive!

I use mineral spirits followed by carb cleaner followed by Hobbs #9. I built a PVC pipe closed at both ends filled with mineral spirits...oak the barrel in it overnight and then used carb cleaner followed by Hobbs #9... seems to work for me. I soak the small parts in mineral spirits followed by carb...

Mosinitis is a terminal disease... no cure!
