Re: My First Semi-Auto!

Re: So did anyone else...

Doesn't sound as bad as here in Ontario...because we had a gang shooting at the mall in toronto...and then a retarded wanna be gang banger shot up a neighbourhood street party..killing 2 people...they now want to ban handguns for everyone. Makes me so annoyed, why the hell should I loose gun privile...

Re: Shot The Mosin For The Very First Time Today And..

We didn't bother asking....the land is huge..probably about 4km's long..and surrounded by forests and the only way to get in is a 4x4 because of the muddy trail to get in. The land used to be owned by an old guy...he was fine with what ever u wanted to do. but then a cement company bought it all...a...

Shot The Mosin For The Very First Time Today And..

I'll admit I was sweating because I was so nervous about shooting it. I didn't do a head space check and I always have bad luck so i thought it was going to blow up. Held the gun away from me...aimed at the hill...loud as hell and everything was good to go....casing looked excellent...no splits or c...

Re: My Mosin Video

Drop the sandpaper and stand back. You can ruin 70 Years of history with one stroke. Who hung it on the wall? There might be even more history in who put these here. The Enfield looks to be restorable with a correct stock and some metal parts. Look on the band that the buttstock fits in to on the E...

What Is You're Mosin History? If Known

So at first I knew that my mosin was just sitting on the wall for decoration since I was like 5....I'm 23 now. I asked about the rifle because in a couple days I'll be shooting it. The rifle I will hold in my hands is the same rifle my grandpa escaped from Germany after being captured and forced to ...

Cleaned Cosmoline Off The Stock..uhoh

So I was using a steam machine and some rags to take the cosmoline out of the wood....when the wood dried it turned like this...cloudy...chalking white color...any idea why this is? have I stripped all the finish that was maybe on the wood? I'm thinking on just finishing the job on the whole gun now...
