Today I wanted to make my first ammo for my Mauser as I realized following: The max. overall length for this ammo with a .323 bullet is 82.55mm according to the chart (I use a .318 bullet...

Hi guys

Can somebody tell me if there is a cartridge belt/ammo belt for the Mosin Nagant ammo 7.62x54R available or "only" the pouches. I'm just curious to now it.

I agree with you guys. Dennis has a good reputation of selling good guns. I already bought two weapons from him. A Mauser and now this Mosin and I'm sure more will come. I already contacted Santa

That's really a nice peace of history. Good find, JYD

WeldonHunter, I'm glad JYD explained everything now
The 3k rounds you have - did you buy them or reload them? Because the surplus ammo is too hot/strong for the antique weapon.

Later on some Mauser rifles were converted to 7.92 x 57mm Mauser caliber (.323 bore diameter) Do I have to use also 8x57mm brass, but .323 bullets? Are the bullets in...
