The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Old West gear, post Civil War, pre 1920s? I am most interested in holsters.

I also prefer the SKS over the semi-auto AK.

They were tough enough to survive two world wars. I have never seen a broken one either and at one time I owned 75 of them.

One thing is certain about Mosin Nagant rifles, it is that nothing is certain. You have a nice rifle; congrats!

What do they say? "Earthquakes don't kill people, buildings kill people."

Those are really nice. I tried a couple of times to carry a pocket watch for daily use. They don't launder well.

Thank you for the suggestion, but that was my first stop.

for a CZ 52 pistol?

A followup to the story about the pawn shop where I had the consignments. I was able to pick up the pieces, undamaged from the owner. The guns were in the only corner of the building with a little roof left. The building was so badly damaged they tore what was left down. He set up in a temporary loc...

Thanks for the work. Had you not mentioned that you changed, I would not have noticed, and that sounds like a job well done.

Has anyone heard from Mike? I am getting a little worried about him.

I think that I have seen an uptick in general interest in vintage revolvers lately. Ten years ago, they were really inexpensive in pawn and gun shops everwhere. Back then I became interested in older top-breaks. I have since given or traded all of my topbreaks to my son. I still like my swing-out cy...

I drooled over that list of rifles many weeks and succumbed to my lust on many occassions.

That is a "wow" rifle to me.

A few years ago, Covid time, I picked up a 2500 IMI FMJ BT Match bullets for my .308 - Didn't even have a .308 at the time but it was part of a large reloading lot at an estate sale and I wanted the primers, powder, and especially the linotype pigs !! Two still sealed 1000 round bags and one half u...

At this point, I am happy with hand stitching. It really slows down the process, but I am in no hurry.

No machines. Hand stitching.

Or at least some kind of home. Here are some of my latest home-building attempts. These are my designs, obviously a variation of a theme of one piece holsters. I am having a ball learning a new skill.

And the stock was altered by Beaver International.

We got the worst of it at sunrise this morning. It knocked out power for 12 hours, it was nasty, but no damage here. It did some nasty work in Marianna right next door to the gun shop I have some consignments in. What do you have on consignment Steve.....? Well, as it turned out, it was not only ne...
