Re: New Members, Make your first post here!

I have a question about the rule that we should not swap parts on rifles to make them correct. Not to argue or question rule but what is the reason for that? I've learned here that preservation is first and foremost. These are firearms of great historical significance and altering their Arsenal con...

Re: New film / WW1 "They Shall Not Grow Old"

I'm sure it will be released on video/dvd at some point in the next few months. I will keep an eye out on new releases, I am very current on films and will post as soon as I see it for sale. I'm sure at some point it will make it to Netflix with the rest of the wartime documentaries as well. It was ...

Re: Pre Range Question

A few of you commented on the condition of my barrel before I took it out. I figured I'd give you an update! https://i.imgur.com/OhiVapI.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/SnVogDk.jpg?1 After 30 rounds and second cleaning... https://i.imgur.com/JXEwuMM.jpg?1 https://i.imgur.com/YgXaGkp.jpg?1 https://i.imgur....

What is that? 1978?
This was the only split case I found. The rest were good and I did not have any misfires.

I'm not sure bud, I'm just a lowly peasant here but at the bottom can you see the list of Admins (red) on the main page? You could try to message one of them and ask about the issue.

Previous owner shimmed the barrel up with a piece of wood and steel wool?

Re: M91 Bayonet

Not bad, not bad at all. I bought my M91 Bayonet before I know what I was doing as I thought it was for a 91/30-dumb! I did the opposite, found a real cheap 91/30 kit. Pouches, cleaning kit, stripper clips, bayonet and sling. Once I realized EVERYTHING was wrong era I started looking for age approp...

M91 Bayonet

I've been looking for an Arsenal matching Bayonet for my M91. I watched a few Ebay auctions where a Tula hit $102.50/no scabbard. An Izhevsk hit $123.50/no scabbard. :big shock: When this one popped up I didn't hesitate after reviewing information. I bought it outright instead of letting it go to au...

Re: Which one to keep.. opinions please

The PU absolutely! I feel like those are sought after by far more than just collectors. You don't have to know anything about a Mosin to want an Authentic PU.

Re: New film / WW1 "They Shall Not Grow Old"

That doesn't make a lot of financial sense to me, but I am glad it was made. I don't think this movie was produced for financial gain. It seems more realistic that U.K. historical foundations may have foot part of the bill on this one. It is a documentary, not many documentaries even make it to the...
