The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Thanks - My vote was Finnish, but wanted validation.

It has occurred to me that if the Administration wanted to hurt Russia, instead of some goofy back door gun control, they should stop import of Russian Vodka. That'd really get their attention!

I sure hope not, they are seen as the most respectable suppliers here out West.

Hi Gang, I work in a gun store with several young fellows who shoot competitively with their 'black rifles'. When I purchased my latest 91/30- a chipper-looking 1940 Izhevsk with a sleek receiver & promising rifling - I decided to show it to them with the cosmoline still on. After the laughter d...

Hey Guys, I've been flogging the Web for an hour...what's the cubic centimeter equilavent to 12gr of Alliant Unique? Check out this guy's cast bullet load: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SN_Mbv47Yg8 Found it, Here's a 1gr to cc conversion chart. Apologies, but I'm working on a $1 a week budget :lol...

Here's an easy way to decap Surplus 7.62x54r cases using simple water pressure: Find a steel rod that snugly fits into the case mouth and is taller than the case (I use the decapping rod from my Lee Classic Loader – since I only deal with surplus steel, I ground the pin off the end of it). First sti...

Excellent bore, and Wow! That stock is gorgeous!

:D :D I have a soft spot for grunt rifles like these. It's that history channel thing. There's that connection between the soldier and the rifle that my typical Mosin refurbs lack. I had a Mauser that had a whole bunch of stories to tell, from the looks of it. I like the 3 line repair :biggrin: Vint...

I've always loaded my ammo from stripper clips. Lots and lots of them. Just part of the experience. Here's my two cents worth :2cents: ... For Clarity: When you lie the stripper clip on it's 'back' its profile is like a letter U. I'll call the uprights 'walls'. I've seen two versions of stripper cli...

... and you guys KNOW I'm loving this thread!!

Beautiful color - sort of reminds me of the hot-salt barrel browning I used on my CVS muzzle loaders back in the day.

Thanks guys! I'm going to use a lighter than original cast bullet (gas check) in a shorter 7x39 size. I'll replace the surplus ammo (my lawn will like that ) and use the type/amount as suggested.

I've read a lot here that leaves me inclined to use cast bullets with a gas seal. My "reloading" activity is limited to pulling the bullet out of a surplus round with an inertia puller, then seating a non-magnetic bullet (required in SoCal) of equal or very close weight/diameter right back...

Pretty funny- they remind me of myself with my first Mosin on day 1 :redfaced: . Got me thinking...They couldn't pronounce the name, couldn't get the calibre right, hadn't even cleaned it... but notice how excited he was just to have it, how how cool he thought the bolt sounded when he cycled it, an...

Cool "Grizzled Veteran" rifle... wait, did you say your Wife wants one?? Does she have a sister?

"eich bin ein "Mosin Man""

Welcome Aboard! You're not gonna believe how much fun it is collecting and shooting these rifles!

I put one of those trigger spring on a M-38 that had a trigger that'd rattle when the rifle was shaken (bet others have seen the same thing). It feels better with some back pressure, but doesn't do anything to make the break more 'crisp'. On most of my Mosins, the bolt moves a little when I get clos...
