Post by rjmt »

This is my 4th Mosin since January - my wife says I need professional help

found a 1942 M38 on line in North Carolina - having it shipped in this week

1300 rounds of ammo isn't going to last long!!

1300 rounds? What are you going to do for the other 11 1/2 months of the year? Wouldn't she sleep better knowing you can arm an entire block if you live in the city or a whole county outside of the city? I know that would make me feel better.
Looking forward to the pics. :thumbsup:

We live on a mountain top in SW Washington state

ever seen what a steel core 7.62x54r round does to a Fir tree?

ever seen what it does to the motor block of an old Dodge 318?

hit a piece of Basalt burried in the field with one round

my son tell me the sound of a tumbling 54r richocett is as very intimidating sound!!

What's the wife worried about, you are still under ten of them, even at 20 or 30 most here would not consider that excessive :)
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
