Re: M91/30 from bass pro
Shooting shorter ranges that sort of performance is common, very rarely did I get one that shot dead on at 100-150 yards, most went 5-10" high. Aim for the belt to hit the head, or six O'clock hold on the target should get it hitting on the target only slightly high.

Re: Hospitalization
Maybe they couldn't reach him at the golf course. At least you are back in your own home and not in the hospital.

Re: Hospitalization
I hope things are improving, that shocking thing sounds painful. Is food being withheld from you for a medical reason? You know we are all pulling for you, have a swift recovery .

Re: Couple of M1 Carbines
I've never fired a Universal Carbine. How does yours shoot, or do you fire it? It shoots just like any other M1 carbine, it's just not made for Uncle Sam. The design of mine is true to the original carbines, later on Universal would alter the gas system, and I found that version prone to jamming an...

Holy shit Batman :shock: I am fucked up, most of my friends are fucked up one way or another, me with the diabetes, neuropathy, my feet are in bad shape and I am approaching losing my mobility entirely.

Re: Couple of M1 Carbines
Even the repops are crazy money now. I have a Universal carbine, one without the odd gas system and metal handguard. That one is likely over a grand now also.

Re: P.38 Pistols
$29.95 in 1962 dollars is 309.75 in 2024 dollars, still I bet plenty of people here would pay that for a Luger today.

Re: Mosin Heresy
That's too bad, I still like my collection despite not shooting much anymore. I never bought them to shoot anyway, I collected them for the history, Plenty of time for them to be sold off once I kick off. Until that day I can still enjoy the story's they have to tell.

Re: Couple of M1 Carbines
A friend of mine in West Virginia was offering over two grand and kept being outbid over and over again. I thought a hundred fifty bucks was a lot for one back in '90. Inland, Saginaw, Underwood, two of Inland and Underwood one of the Inlands being the M1A1 paratrooper model. At todays prices these ...

Re: MN Rifles
I hope so, grand each would be nice, some would go for much more. I remember how some people thought hoarding up $55 Mosins was just foolish 25 years ago. Some of us grabbed hundreds of them

Re: Four SKS Rifles
Biggest piece of shit I ever ended up with was this abortion of an SKS that had been shortened to "para" size and had the AK mag butchered into it. First round fired the mag fell out and bullseyed my foot. Second round did the same, there was no third round. I got that one as part of an en...

Re: Are Mosin front-sights durable?
The front sight was used as anchor point for the bramit silencer as well. It would have been a very bad idea if the front sights weren't strong enough. I haven't seen, or heard about a broken one as well... Oh I have, but that one was the result of someone hitting it with a hammer trying to loosen ...

Re: Help needed
The cut made so the rear sight clears the barrel? That's common because the sight does tend to hit there on most of these M91's.

Re: M91/30 from bass pro
Your rifle would have been refurbished in the Soviet Union sometime after WW2 and stored away as one in a crate of 20 similar rifles. No attempt was made to keep the same parts with a rifle and everything but the barrel serial number was force matched after the process. Sometimes they were neat abou...
