It is with sadness and regret that I must inform you of the passing of founding board member Darryl Boyd this past Sunday night. Darryls son Adam has informed me that his father passed peacefully and without pain after suffering a sudden heart attack. Darryl was instrumental in acquiring this board ...

Re: Help needed!
That would have been done by any of the non Russian users of these rifles, as nobody but the Russians used the Arshins system of measure. Even they didn't in the communist era.

Re: Help needed!
These rifles are covered with small markings, the older they are the more markings there will be. They indicate something was inspected by someone at some point in the rifles history from when it was new, and again each time it was upgraded, or repaired, given a refurbishment. The letters would be a...

Re: What to do with this rifle (possibly m91 SCW)?
Leave it be until you stumble across a stock that it would look good in. Might take years, even decades.

Re: 1939 mosin 91 30
It does have the classic look of a post WW2 Soviet refurbished rifle. In the decades after the war the Soviets refurbished their Great Patriotic War rifles as well as captured German weapons and stashed them away to arm the people in the event of war with the west as well as supplying them to anti w...

Re: Help Identifying possible M91/30
It's a typical Soviet post WW2 refurbished 1943 M91/30. These will have a mix of parts from any year Mosin, parts were kept in service and used during refurbs for as long as they stayed in spec. This is normal for any refurb Soviet Mosin or Finn used captured Soviet weapon. The pin is there to stren...

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.

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: 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...

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.

$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.
