The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Well, it's been four months, but I finally got to the range to shoot my '43 91/30 for the first time. I have a 8 year old and a 11 month old (girls), so getting to the range by myself is hard. I showed up with my 91/30, a box of about 250 rounds of surplus russian ammo from a spam can, my spotting s...

Yes, I often wonder that as well. Did this rifle off a number of Nazis? What would the original owner think of his trusty battle rifle, one day ending up in the hands of a white-bread suburbanite Texan like myself, who has never even served in any armed force, being sold for less than the cost of ni...

Well, I just ordered my first spam can (440 rds). I'll tell yall about how well it shoots once it arrives and I get to the range. It's getting mighty hot here in Houston so I might not shoot more than 30-40 rounds. Hopefully I won't have any sticky bolt or other issues. Question: In my 2nd picture u...

You picked a good one! :thumbsup: Ha, there was no picking involved, it was sight-unseen. I didn't even go with the "hand-picked" option thru classicfirearms.com, I just paid them and hoped for the best. I am really looking forward to the next big Houston gunshow, because I'm going to be ...

Here are pics of my first Mosin Nagant, a 1943 Izhevsk 91/30. I've been wanting one of these ever since I first laid eyes on one back in high school, and got to shoot it at a local gun range. I was immediately hooked by the sheer power, and the low price meant it was only a matter of time until I ow...

Oh yeah, I can see the "KEL-TEC" logo in the lower left of the grip. My bad, nevermind.

Is that an LCP? If so, what is that silver colored screw on the back end? Mine doesn't have one of those.

+1 for the Ruger LCP. They are pretty inexpensive (less than $300 for the basic blued version), but made well. I chose mine because it's small enough that I actually WILL carry it. It fits in my front right pants or shorts pocket (in a Nemesis pocket holster) and I virtually forget it's there (so mu...

I've just recently caught the Mosin-bug, and purchased my first, a 1943 Izhevsk 91/30, from classicfirearms.com. Here's some terrible pics, I'll take some better ones soon: http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r212/nicholjm/Mosin1.jpg http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r212/nicholjm/Mosin3.jpg http://...
