The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

OK,,bought a Mosin from the Classifieds and trust it will be a good one from a reputable dealer here. Here is my plans; To go through it and make sure it clean and oiled, and then shoot it,,and shoot it,,,and shoot it! Yes,,,,,,all original,,,no mods,,,just get the puppy sighted in and get to know it. I primarily Bowhunt but enjoy a little Gun hunting for Yotes and Deer once in a while.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss I guess I am in good company here! I could shoot a new Bolt gun with a scope and have the latest greatest but,,,That would not be any fun! lol

clean her good and wipe the wood down and have fun. be sure to disassemble the bolt and clean it good. same for the receiver and chamber. a lot of folks have sticky problems form not cleaning it properly. get a spam can of .18c ammo and feel the history.

Check firing pin height, check head space. Shoot!

If its a re'ferb and your getting her right out of the box, trust me it will ALREADY have been oiled trick is REMOVING the crap.

Honestly; great going and enjoy your new rifle and word of warning.......these freeking things MULTIPLY ........quickly Give any new Mil-Sup a good and through cleaning and check the head space. Good luck and have fun. These rifles are a blast!!!

Thanks Gents and when I get it will post up the goods on it!

Congratulations and welcome to the club! Looking forward to some pictures!

Congrats glad you are collecting Mosins ---Remember please keep it all original and do not put any aftermarket stuff on it or sand the wood--Just clean it and shoot it just like you bought it.

Good luck and welcome!!

Welcome

Congrats & Get an Okie headspace gauge and check the headspace. Use the multi tool that hopefully came with your purchase & check the firing pin depth. Grab a spam can of surplus ammo & have fun. These rifles do multiply quickly. Post some pics when you get her all cleaned up. JYD has posted a ton of great videos on checking headspace, firing pin depth etc so be sure to check those out if you have any questions.

Welcome aboard. I like your avatar!

Hey this is exciting. Can't wait to get all the details when you can give em.
