Re: Headed to the range. First shoot

Because the commie ammo plants in the various countries all had their own idea of what the ammo specs were you will find that sapping ammo from Russian, to Czech, or some other type will tend to change the groups a bit.

Re: Headed to the range. First shoot

All in all I'm pretty pleased with my Mosin. My time on the range today went well. the Mosin was dead on, in elevation. The windage being 6 inches right is easily correctable. Rather than going after it with a hammer and punch, I will just wait for the sight tool. Having not done a lot of open sight...

Headed to the range. First shoot

Heading out to shoot my 1925 Mosin Dragoon later this morning. In studying the 7.62x54r.net web sight, and the pages pertaining to sights. I have come to the realization, that there is no hard and fast rule to the variations, and markings of these rifles. I wanted to study up a bit on the sights, so...

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!

I'm a new guy, Tattoo artist in Attleboro, Ma. I just discovered the world of Mosin Nagant. In 2 weeks, I've bought a matching number 1944 Model 91/44 Mosin that totally infected me with Mosin Love, and a really nice 1939 91/38 with no matching numbers, but shoots dead on at 100 yards...I guess you...

Re: Finn capture 1924 Tula M91

Looks like and nearly marked the same as the 1925 I picked up at a garage sale this weekend. Only notable difference I see is sling attachment. Oh, and I don't have the sling.

Re: New Members, Make your first post here!

Thanks JYD. This is very interesting information. I look forward to giving it a good workout on the range as soon as the ammo I ordered arrives. Very interested to see what it will do. The rifling looks very good for it's age. The previous owner stated he did not shoot it a lot, but claimed it shot ...
