The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I once had a neighbor who was drafted into the Wehrmacht mid war and did a lot of time on the Russian front. He got to the us after hopping the Berlin Wall in the mid 60s and getting through via the defector refugee pathway to citizenship. Anyway, as the tide was turning by the time the German army ...

Sorry we hijacked your thread about your awesome acquisition with memories of such fine meals as green eggs and spam or beans and mfs. Back on topic however if you don't mind my asking about how much did this potential shooter set you back? I just want to have a good frame of reference if my dream o...

Lima beans and bolt lube, sounds like the makings of an MRE, there was a similar C rat years back that is better known as beans and motherf******'s. Never give the makers of military field rations any good ideas :) That c ration was handed out after Katrina. While I managed to avoid the brunt of th...

Nice find op. I'm amazed these are still floating around because as many of you know a lot were lost to nazi butchering at the end of the second war in efforts to get parts to assemble last ditch straight bolt kar 98s. Examples of this are currently for sale at wideners. I always wanted a GEW 88 And...

Also JYD or any admin feel free to update the title calling it a kyber pass. And if you'd like to use this thread for anyone in the enfield market as to what to avoid feel free to sticky with a warning.

So let's say my long lee is a kyber pass. I'm cool with it. What should I have paid then? Considering the bore is fine and it's a good shooter and not a wall hanger or hajjis grenade gun, I know I wasn't COMPLETELY had by SOG at 450. Now here's one other theory someone can shoot down for me. Japan a...

Here's the front end. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/Atlanta_Mike/Guns/3CCA230C-8E01-45E4-9921-7ACD5F650527.jpg To avoid any confusion in the Op before the ruled KP guns pictures were posted, I posted my definitely authentic Ishy SMLE 3* so there are two rifles in this post. The 39 Ishy (r g...

No VR anywhere to be found. Just the typical EFD on the bolt, a CE 1, and what you see on the band which I am not sure is the Victorian crown. I can't get it on camera but the rifling on this gun is still good. I wouldn't call it shot out. The ridges are pretty high and having shot the rifle on pape...

Here's a better band photo as promised. Again if it a KP it's a KP. Any inputs appreciated as it's hard to find any sanctioned production evidence of long lees this long after SMLE conversions began. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v336/Atlanta_Mike/Guns/45933E02-26D3-4B68-A279-3B148AC319D5.jpg Bt...

I too was afraid of a Khyber pass gun. SOG has always been good to me, however, and when they told me it came in with a crate of enfields ordered from a depot in England I found it hard to believe. There are few stamps, an EFD on the bolt, LE 1 under the crown and year, next to no bluing, and no bri...

I too have an Ishy except mine is wire wrapped. I would say you scored on this gun whether believing it to be British production or not as the price difference in the SMLE department should be within a hundred dollars based on where made. Cheers to enjoyable potential tack driving with the hard to g...

I was very lucky with both of these. The SMLE was the last one aim had in stock literally 45 minutes after they emailed having British or Ishapore wire wraps. The $300 Brits were gone so I settled for the $200 Ishy and got a nice one. Then I got the pattern 07 sword bayonet for it. http://img.photob...

Thanks!

Ill post better ones of that enfield when I can later on because I think others who know more about them might be able to tell me something about it. If there's anything else anyone wants to see in better definition let me know.

Some of you probably remember me and most of you have no idea who I am. Long story short I came to this forum a good while back, posted a lot in a short time, lurked a lot, and most importantly learned a lot before I ventured into the world of C&R while dealing cards at night to fund it. Here's ...

Yeah I love the Yugos. I wouldn't have fired it but I happened to be by the big 5 this morning so I picked up 20 rounds. I had an option to buy a Russian but I really couldn't pass this one up. If the Russian's still available in two weeks, it'll have a thread too.

https://sphotos.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn1/531308_10100403412355266_649023197_n.jpg I love this gun. My Mosin's might be used a lot less now. :twisted: SN begins with R 649 but the last 3 are too high based on the chart I saw for 1980 however that could just be the chart's fault. Or it could be an 8...

I for one will just be happy when I finally find one and have the cash to pay for it. Looks like I will be stuck with a Norinco though.

Great find!

That's a beauty. I picked up a Pardner 12 gauge single shot, nothing special, feels cheap as hell but I like it because it's light. Now, if I couldve had me a classic looking .410 like that, I would be pretty damn satisfied.

Brutal. I came on to find out if mine was catching because of the bolt head and caught this..now I'm not going to complain about my small piece of steel having a dent.

Question: is that catching really bad when you load it up?
