The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

You want gun regulations, check out this Washington Times series Emily Gets Her Gun: http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/gun ... s-her-gun/ Will make your head explode. She's a cutie, too.

Looks like the OP's deal sold out. That was quick.

Great. More Mosin Competition in VA. I have a hard enough time competing with Greasemonkey.

Welcome to the forum!

I think the few dings on it are great for claiming historical accuracy to a rifle that I accidentally scraped on a barbed wire fence. :brolleyes: I'll miss my .444 Marlin, but not as much as I like the K31 that replaced it. This'll be my first year hunting in VA so hopefully I'll have good luck with...

Sure, Greasemonkey. It's by...uh...Dulles Airport. Yeah, that's it.

So I'm at the local Army/Navy store picking up a small uniform item and I look up on the wall and there before me is a really dark Mosin. I ask to see it and it's a 1925, ex-dragoon Tula for $120. Thanks to you all, or I'd never known what I was looking at. I was so enthralled I forgot to check the ...

Is it Saturday and Sunday or Friday and Saturday (the good ones here do all three days)? I would think more people would show up on Saturday than Sunday to my experience. But it could be crowded either way. For sure if you wait until the second day, the best stuff will be picked through, but if you ...

Cleaning these is so easy. I'm not sure why you don't want to use water but it's an easy first step. I have a tea kettle with a spout that has a somewhat small pouring spout. You can remove the barrel from the stock but you don't have too. Fill the kettle with water, heat it to a boil with no soap....

The show started at 9 and I was in line at 9:30 or so. It was around the building. When I left around 1-1:30 the line wasn't any shorter. This was the second day. I should have gone on Sunday, the last time I went on the last day it wasn't so bad.

I didn't think I'd find the ammo at all. The third place I went to told me I probably wouldn't find any. The clips were just a lucky find. Had I not had two grumpy grade schoolers with me I might have thought to look for a sling for that K31. Never again with the kids.

Got mine in a few weeks ago, and got my package from Josh on Friday, which makes the full trifecta. Can't wait to put 'em to work and hopefully make a range trip next week.

So I hit the gun show in Chantilly, Va today. Most crowded GS I've ever been to. Hardly room to move. Mosins were few and far between, as far as I saw. A Westinghouse and a 43 VKT, both nice, but out of my budget. Both had something I've never seen, or maybe just never noticed. There were 3 wooden &...

I really dig the scratch marks. Some soldier back in the day put his name on that rifle between shootin' enemy soldiers. Pretty cool.

Nice get.

I carry a USP .40 when I'm not at work. My first gun and still my baby.

Me too, but I've got another 3 1/2...It is my Friday, though. Well, it's actually Friday, but it's my Friday this week.

I was so excited when I got my first case. It was like Christmas.

I had to take last year off, but I'll be in the woods this year. I hunt deer mostly, but I'm looking for a bear this year. Pain in the ass to drag out of the woods, but I gotta do it at least once. Hopefully can get my Mosin dialed in to my satisfaction, then it's on like the proverbial video game g...

2:19. I do believe there is an echo in here...

Normally asking $8.95 for 20 rounds, the Army Navy store had some on the counter for a "day special" of $6.95 each. And since I was already there to buy a black long sleeve T-shirt for work, I added two to my purchase. Always need to be thinking about squirrling away for any upcoming zomb...

I work overnights, and the nature of my job allows me to be on the interwebs all night most nights. Your tax dollars at work!
