The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

G'day forum members,

I just joined today, I have been reading the Knowledge Base articles and very much appreciated the info within, they helped me validate this purchase.

My first Mosin Nagant, you wont see any US import markings as i'm in Australia.

first 3 photos are open...nothing else....

Australian, eh? Does that mean that you live in the Alps and wear Lederhosen? (Just teasing of course)
That is a nice rifle, and a fine entry into Mosin Madness. Congrats!

I’ll post more photos of the markings later, but for now here is 2 from my first outing on the weekend using highland FMJ’s.

Not out of a cultural obligation I just do those things for fun! How did you know?

Thanks mate, I am really enjoying shooting it so far.

Nice "REAL" PU Sniper rifle!

Thanks very much , I really benefited (still am) from the reference material so am very appreciative of that, thank you!

Good day at the range today.
Got my zero sorted, screws line up with the punch marks and just needed one hash mark right on the windage turret so basically nothing.
Using 180 FMJs from Sellier and Bellot, drop at 200 and 300m matched the turret BDC. I love this rifle!

With snipers, it is sometimes a coin flip.
I think a lot of the accuracy was in the person using them. Some could make allowances for the rifles they were issued.

Darryl

its certainly full of character that makes in interesting to shoot and shoot accurately
