Hi all! New here but have been lurking. I have a M39 VKT 1942 D barrel. Haven't shot it yet but looking to getting it out. Anybody have any ammo recommendations for it? I know the M39 prefer certain types of 7.62x54r.
I can‘t speak for the M39, but the PPU brand 7.62 works fine in my M91/30. Sadly the FMJ ones seem to be of lower quality than the lead tip ones, as the tend to bind up in the clip, when I try to load them. The lead tips didn‘t have that problem so far.
But as far as I‘ve heard, the S&B brand is supposed to be of better quality (but also more expensive).
If you‘re from the US, I sadly can‘t tell you, which ammo types are available or good over there
Hi I just got hold of a carcano rifle and I’m wondering about it’s origins or possible war time use
It seems to have been modified or sporterized
But all the markings are on it I can post pics if any can help

Howdy, been a Mosin owner for about 8 years, and I'm happy to have found this forum for these awesome rifles; I've already learned a bunch just perusing these discussions. I love seeing everyone's Mosins on here! I might make a post with some photos of my homely 91/30

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
