The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Thanks Drago. Yeah, I decided to leave it and am also thinking about going ahead with bluing the bolt/carrier as well.

MN man, here is a great website to glean off of as well. It is an info site with most, if not all, of the info known to date about the SKS and its variants.

Hey Boomer, I'd welcome you but you were here before me.

Well, figured I might as well play a little to get more familiar with how this particular forum works as opposed to the others I am on so am posting up a recent restoration project. First a little about me on this. I am a tinkerer as many here who know me from other forums, etc. will testify. I use...

That is definitely a nice looking pair of pistols you have there. I have worked on a few Ortgies back when I worked in a gunsmithing shop. They are nice to work on. Good classic pistols.

Working with a new laptop and accidentally closed my whole web browser. When I restarted it and tried to re-open the forum it wouldn't open. That was around 12-12:30 and couldn't get back on til now. Thought I had broken it.(again)

This is one reason I always wear safety glasses. How does one go about making that firearm servicable again? Just get another receiver? Classic arms, among other places, have stripped MN receivers at reasonable prices so if you could do the work yourself you could make a serviceable rifle for not m...

Well, if you really want to get picky, it's not an octagon barrel either. It is four sided on top and round-ish on the bottom. If they split the bottom rounded side into two parts(separated by the action screw mount/hole) then that would indeed make it a 'Hex' receiver. Just sayin' :lol: :roll: (yea...

popgun, the 46gr ammo(as mentioned in the other thread about it) is milsurp training ammo. The casing and powder characteristics are the same as regular milsurp 7.62x54r. It is fairly accurate out to 100M or so and has very little recoil. Made to help recruits get used to firing the rifle correctly ...

Martin I agree with you on the replace vs re-bored barrel. The step down looks classic Mauser barrel type set up and I couldn't see why they would re-mill the OD for that when it would only take up more time and money needlessly. One question though. I noticed the last step on the barrel of the seco...

There is a member of another forum board that I am on that makes custom IWB holsters. His website is http://www.hhholsters.com. I have not had the need to get one but everyone I know who has gotten one likes them. May not be what you are looking for but worth checking out.

Nice and peaceful over here. See you in the Semi thread!

Hey OO, I just replied to your PM over on 'the other' forum
This could get real confusing for me here bro, I am a simple man j/k

Hey GreatGuns, glad you could make it in! This forum typically runs flawlessly, sorry for the troubles you had. Welcome! Thanks for the welcome guys. and no worries on the server deal, I figured it would get straightened out. It happens. Martin08 posted up about this place over on one of the other ...

Oh BTW, I did try to check out the archived threads from the old forum just to learn and get a better feel for everything here and got the big red X there. That was about 5 minutes before my first post. Just an FYI.

I had a friend from another forum who was trying to join today and said all he could get was a big red X. I told him to hang in there for now, and if the registration doesn't go through soon, I'd contact an Admin. I hope he can make it. Greatguns will make a GREAT addition! Sounds like that is my q...
