Hi guys... Last week I picked up a crate of ammo at a local gun show, and I wanted to do something with the crate besides crack it open and chuck it! so here it is....I pulled the lid off and cut it down to fit back into the box.....and made a second shelf with what was left over for Ammo and field ...

That's $110.00 for one can ? That strikes me as high but if it's for a crate (Two cans and an opener) it's great! No just for one can, but the cheapest on the net right now is $85 per can at Dan's Ammo here in PA, plus PA tax 6%, $5 , plus shipping $20, so for $5 I got the crate I was looking for, ...

Hi everyone, Just got home from a local gun show in Leesport PA. and found a pretty good deal. I picked up a spam can for $110 with tax and they threw in the crate for free. Actually I had to stop them from mangling the crate trying to open it with a tire iron! I wanted the crate to make a wall hang...

I went to the Warminster show early Sat morning. The lowest rice I saw was $200. Maybe they dropped them later in the day or Sunday. yea Mr P. I'm finding the more I go the gun shows, and am lucky enuf to find what I want on Sunday, the better the price! Like everyone has eluded to.....no one wants...

Cabelas never gave me a cleaning kit with my rifle, and the one I got on Ebay came with a "serrated" cleaning brush? i think? no wire brush anywhere, so I figured they just wrapped a cloth over the thing and cleaned it that way? I have a full modern kit to service the rifle, so the kit was...

On a bench the energy drives straight into your shoulder and your body is more rigid, as opposed to standing where you can absorb that energy, but you can't steady the rifle like you can on the bench. More accuracy, or more comfort? My public range is only set up for bench shooting. Wow, all that c...

I think you are right A1!.....I just got back from a walk in the snowy woods with my boy Tank, and I'm thinking of running back down, but it is getting late!.....$175 was the crate price.

Hi everyone, If you all are near Philly, actually Warminster PA. there is a good gun show happening. I saw many Mosin Nagant versions, along with 2 sellers that had crates of 54R for $175+ tax. I just picked up 100 rounds of surplus to try out before jumping in to the 880 crate. I hope I don't regre...

Cool thread! My first Mosin was just last week, but what a whirlwind week of learning it has been! So, My best purchase is my 1933
"Iz" Hex 91/30...... first Mosin/surplus/military item. And..........we all know it won't be the last

HI guys! Get em while you can! We had a service call today not far from the Cabelas store where I got My 91/30 last week, and they were sold out! I thought MAYBE I would get lucky and get another Mosin on the cheap?....nope. They do have a nice Enfield, and a clean SKS, but no more Mosin'......and o...

hey guys!....here is some funny awesome stuff....I went to our local state gameland shooting range this morning. As I was setting up I looked next door to see a real NICE set of 91/30....m44...Mosin beauties. After introductions this guy let me shoot his rifles!!! I put a nice 3" group at 50 ya...

I guess there's another subject I need to add to the "need to learn" list!?....Dragoon

Sounds like something my Grandmom would call my high school buddies!

Gerry

i just went and checked the rear sight.....no gap, and its a 1933, so I don't think it is an ex-Dragoon?

Thanks for the info guys! I found out the oval with the Pii inside means it was black powder proofed....maybe I'll bore it out and build a musket! ...J/k The more I look at the rcvr the more stamps I see! just found 2 small circles one in the other, and a real wierd stamp that looks like chinese wri...

I have a few marks I would like to decipher>>> just below tang screw 5 P 40 I 2 I also>>> a circle with 50 inside? and a diamond with 21 inside a diamond with rNc inside....I have a few of those around the gun an oval with what looks like the Pii sing inside and what looks like 2 upside down Nike sw...

Thanks for the kind words! The big triangle has the arrow in it, then the little triangle on top of the big one has the number "1" in it. There are actually 3 or 4 repairs on the stock.....one on each side up near the barrel....kind of like a half dove tail. Yea, Cabelas bayonets are rough...

So, here is my 1933 91/30 from Izhevsk. I purchased it from Cabelas on Saturday and since then I disassembled completely, steam cleaned all parts, oiled and reassembled. Today I pulled the bolt and polished everything along with checking the trigger pull which is at 4.6lbs down 1/2 a pound pre polis...
