Do not shoot .38 super in your Nagant, it is way too high pressure for it. There is a cylinder made for the Nagant that uses .32acp, but for the most part it's a waste of time as you loose the gas seal with it.Mantis wrote:I saw that pink AR also. "We can paint you rifle any color." they show pink. Will the Nagant shoot 38 SUPER?

Re: Surplus Nagant ammo
How many of you guys have a Russian M1895 7.62 Nagant Revolver and actually shoot them considering the relatively high cost of ammo compared to 9mm or .38 cal. I just got a CZ 82 and a Md 57 Yugo and I'm thinking about adding to my collection.Is a Nagant Revolver a good idea or not at $100.00 with holster and extra mag.plus shipping and ammo at 50 RDS> for $29.95 Thanks for your help.JGC

Re: Surplus Nagant ammo
I'd like to find a MO marked one to go with the other rifles. So far just a 1941 Tula refurb and a 1937 Tula non import, non refurb.Longcolt44 wrote:I have a '37 Tula and a '44 MO stamped Ishevsk. I have a conversion cylinder but have never used it.

Re: Surplus Nagant ammo
Shoot it? Very rarely, I am not much of a handgun guy, and my Ruger uses the .38 special I load myself, much cheaper.

I just ordered one and the Big brown truck of happiness stopped by today. UNFORTUNATELY I was in the basement with the radio on and did't hear the guy. I at least received one out of two packages, (He left the 30.06 Ammunition) I have to figure out how to pick up the package as it's not rescheduled until Tuesday and I can't wait that long!!!!
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!

Re: Surplus Nagant ammo
That happened to me last month and I called the local UPS office and they let me come down and pick it up when the truck got back from its run.My local office stops answering the phone at 6:30 PM,but they let me pick it up a little later about 7.00 PM when the truck got there. You must call ahead to confirm but they were very eager to get rid of the order without having to make a return trip. Good luck. JGC

Re: Surplus Nagant ammo
My local shop just got 2 cases. I still have 2 or 300 rounds I got in a trade deal with my "44 MO stamped Nagant.

Re: Surplus Nagant ammo
Picked up the Pistol at UPS land this morning. As I was leaving all the trucks pulled out . Reminded me of the scene in "A Bridge too Far" when all the troop transports took off. My new 1931 Tula is sweating Cosmo as I type. Range test ASAP but I only have 28 rounds. After checking the trigger pull, 28 might be enough.

I did shoot .32 S&W long in the Nagant revolver with no problems except paying for it.

Darned pistol is only a $99 pistol, but by time I pay dros, Calif taxes, and transfer fee, it's so high I say forget it!
Still, I need to get one!

Re: Surplus Nagant ammo
I I just test fired my $99.95 Nagant 7.62 Revolver for the first time. Double action was almost impossible at first. After about 28 rounds I was able to get the hang of it, but single action is the only way I could hit anything. I wonder if there is any way to improve the DA to make it easier.Any ideas out there? Thanks JGC

Lieper is the Nagant guru. In his post here is how Ivan helped the trigger pull. Kind of neat.
