The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Forgot to tell what I like best it's the bolt angle I'm missing half my pointer finger so I use middle finger on trigger . The pain of the bolt hitting what's left of finger is bad . This explains why I have 4 lever guns now I have a bolt without the pain .

The first shot on an old gun makes you want to put safety glasses on I did, The gun has very light kick lot of sun glare off snow made it more of a challenge to see 100 yard target . Spent 2 hours with 1937 winchester 1894 30-30 I took the peep sight of to take pics of mod somone did years ago shoul...

Got to range today a foot of snow but nice sunny day put 2 rounds to 50 yard target both dead center 5 inches high.Shot 5 at 100 hundred yards still a bit high . I like this gun nice trigger pull smooth action did not have all day to play with it shoot pistol for awile im hooked nice gun .

My town is great place to live atv trails hunting fishing it's the city next to us they know we have no police . So they use this to there advantage they hit during day while you work . Also when I said reload I was talking about buying brass primers , bullets that reload not the Act of putting roun...

My fear is my two daughters home alone . So far the dog has stoped the major attempt . Best watch dog I ha...

It takes up to 24 hours to get one on 911 call.Home security is top on my list. I will call state tues to see who to send to .I will start process thi...

I got spotless record got concealed permit which is now 10 pages in my state my problem is my town has no police department so sending form to local police cant happen. Would have to be state police .

How does stock recoil bolt nut affect or reduce recoil on mosin I no my guns and this just makes no sense to me .

Buy more guns thats a good idea , That would mean another gun safe . I have not decide what my next gun will be due to finger injury bolt action guns hurt .Thats why got the mossin bolt stays higher and wont hit whats left of my pointer finger I hope. Most of my guns are lever 1894s 32 specials 30 3...

ok you guys got me , I am a accuracy NUT CASE I would reload for a BB gun if I could...... I no its a army surplus gun and it will cost more to relaod but driving a salt filled primmer down my barrels sends chills down my spine .
