The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Anybody on here got one? They look pretty nice, not too pricey, just wondered about opinions and how do they shoot?

I bought one about 10 years ago. They are a fun accurate shooter.

Yep I bought one in like 1999 from Big5 in Northern California when they were like $69. They're great little shooters. I recommend getting a few spare mags. I almost lost the one that came with mine and if you lose it you can't go to aand pick one up and the rifle is then a single shot. Here's a post about the one I got and some other reading material. http://www.russian-mosin-nagant-forum.c ... 08&p=77546 and http://www.russian-mosin-nagant-forum.c ... 8&p=369260

I currently have 3. Love these little rifles. Also have 4 the polish trainers. All accurate and fun to shoot. You won't be sorry if you add one to your collection.

I have one that I bought on a whim. I have shot it a few times but don't have much feeling about it one way or the other. The foreign .22 rifle that I do have a strong attachment to is a Chinese JW-15; it is as good as it gets.

I finally got one of these this week, and got dejavue at the range. A friends Dad had a Walther KKJ 40 yrs ago that I won many Turkeys and Hams with. It would hit a blue "nickel" target @ 60 yrs. bout every shot. This Romy feels like a clone and I want 5 more.

I had one and the magazine was finicky. No spares were around at the time so I sold it.

If you like the Romy, go find a BRNO #1. They feel like mini Mausers.

I just got a Romanian trainer not long ago. Purchased a vinyl sling for it on Ebay. It's a blast to shoot and fairly accurate too. The flip up sights worked at 25 and 50 yards. It was a pain to keep reloading the mag after a few shots, so I ended up just dumping a round in the action for each shot. I only brought a box of 50 rounds to the range and went through them fairly fast.

You need some extra magazine to switch out. I have one of these and have like 9 or 10 magazines. After almost losing the original magazine which would turn the rifle into a single shot I bought some spares. Liberty Tree Collectors has them. https://www.libertytreecollectors.com/p ... dcategory=

new reproduction mags are available. they are great 22 rifles.

My Romanian Trainer was the third, "collectible rifle", I got that started me on this road to learning to like Top Raman and almost running head long in to financial ruin and loving every minute of it.

Ordered another mag for mine today.....made in USA My Taiwan mag is good, but sometimes leaves the 5th round laying there.
