The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Weapons Pro is the name of the dealer that I had the rifle on layaway from. The FFL dealer I went thru has 2 licensed FFL's and the older lady who I first talked to and took down the information handed the info to the other person who saw an issue with a semi auto with a bayonet lug ( Not a Semi aut...

Seller is on GunsAmerica which is where I found it.. They have an actual webstore tho and list the Garands for the same price there.

The FFL that I got to transfer my M1 Garand made a big stink about the M1 Garand not being SAFE act legal with the bayonet lug ( even tho I told him to check the SAFE website and that it is well versed that it is legal ). He actually had called the dealer I got the rifle from before I had a chance t...

I still have to finish paying for my HRA but I got mine from Weapons Pro thru Guns America.. The FFL that I wanted to use is soaking up the sun in Florida and so his shop is closed for a while. Tried obtaining FFL from a more local FFL that my grandparents know from church and they are a bit off on ...

Nope, they will soon be gone.. Obama and his chronies banned the reimportation of US Millitary spec rifles which the M1 Garand falls under since most were lend, leased to other countries.. CMP was looking to import about 84,000 rifles from Korea right before they were banned.. 2016 could change that...

Ramen yes, wife no, in truth I only ate the ramen soup because I liked the stuff, that was before all the " watch the sodium " bullshit. I still like Ramen. Sometimes I don't add the MSG pack and instead flavor it like a real soup. Add some cooked Bacon, leaks or chives, onions and paperi...

It went into effect today, 15 January. The database they want for background checks and tracking is nowheres near being ready. As I understand it, it was left to the state police to create it and they are not interested, and the Feds said no way to background checks for ammo. The NICS system couldn...

Matt, Where in NY are you located. The shop owners I have chatted with on this subject won't allow transfers. You have to buy it directly from them. I am looking for someone who will do it. I have no issue being charged a reasonable fee for handling and such, but I will not be gouged. ' Scott I liv...

I have a lifetime supply of ammo for everything that matters, I am not asking permission, or putting my name on any lists to buy ammo, f*** them, and their f***in safe act. Me neither. PA border is 2hrs from my house. Lots of gunshops that will sell free of any bull. But I'm only going that far if ...

I don't think the C&R will qualify. I think it has to be an 01 FFL.. Could be that a C&R would qualify but it would be up to the merchant as if they want to sell... 3 local shops carry 7.62x54R both surplus and commercial. One of them told me he will get anything I want, so Federal M1 Garand...

I'm in NY I have enough .22LR to be comfterble, but I don't want to shoot any of it yet given the .22 shortage got greater.. I see that Ammofast a place that usually has quite a selection at moderatly inflated prices is out of almost everything and I don't think that's a good sign.. Now here in NY w...

Well, I just ordered 40 rounds of federal M1 Garand ammo from PSA. we'll see if it goes thru.. The workaround is to have it shipped to an FFL or just have them order it.. The LGS I deal with told me just to find what I needed online and he would order it if it was something special and he could not ...

So would keeping 40-60rds of ammo for each caliber be sufficent?...

I do plan on keeping 1k rounds of 7.62x54R and quite a bit of 30-06 for the M1 but more what I can afford in that respect

Now that you guys have gotten me 100% into Milsurps ( Commercial sporters no longer interest me ) and I will eventually go broke from it... I'm wondering how many guns/ calibers is sufficent? Right now, I have 2 Mosins, Remington 597 .22LR, JC Higgins 12ga and the M1 Garand is on order ( I know, not...

He gave up a gun he already owned because of government bullshit? I guess he was told that it would be illegal in NY since it had a 20rd fixed magazine. I guess he sold it before he moved, and I've known him for 4-5 years I guess... But even with the SAFE act, it would still be perfectly legal to o...

Coworker of mine who likes guns ( also a very good machinist, he could be dangerous if he wanted ). Told me he was going to Gander Mountian to see if they still had " 7.62x54R bolt action rifles " for $200. I told him, he was talking about Mosin Nagants and that I had 2 of them. He was tal...

there is a youtube video of someone bushing a berdan primer pocket with a peice of copper tubing and resized to use boxer primers.. The guy makes it look easy but when you take into account the time it takes him to make the bushings and install them, it's totally not worth it... A box of PPU's is le...

Cool. Adjustable gas system it is.. The way it would work is turn it so the ports all the way open, and then start closing it till it cycles itself right?

Being that I have an M1 on layaway ( didn't do CMP route to not all paperwork and proofs in order ). I'm wondering what commercial M1 Garand ammo is best. The gun I have coming is a post war HRA ( which will be checked out by the FFL/gunsmith who knows milsurps before I accept it ).. I don't expect ...

The LGS that I got my '32 Tula Hex from threw 2 extra pouches in the deal, just because he had them.
