Finally shot my Mosin 91/30

[Saiga223]

AWESOME! Now I see what all of the fuss was about.

She was shooting high, but once I got home and started to clean her I saw that the rear sight was up one notch so I'm pretty sure that is the culprit. Can't wait to go back out, definitely need more ammo.

How is your sholder doing? The 91/30 doesn't kick as hard as the carbine but it can give you a sore sholder if you don't hold it right.
I buy ammo in bulk so finding ammo or not having the same ammo that I'm used to shoot is not a problem.
Here is a good guy to buy from.
7.62x54R*Russian 7.62x54R FMJ (440 rds) *A54RUS
And it is about the best price I can find.
Happy Shooting!

Come on now! It is a Mosin Nagant. You must tell, is receiver round or hex, which arsenal & year, any special stampings ( such as CH for sniper or MO for secret police), how many parts match, and what type of stock, birch or laminate? Inquiring minds want to know. Oh, and pictures of the new baby are always expected!

Sounds to me like you're coming down with Mosinitis.

70's & 80's manufacture, is it Non-cororsive? The add did not say.

It is corrosive. What is pictured is not Russian, its Romanian. Russian is in a brownish colored tin.

Nice purchase! Nothing like adding a shoulder cannon to the stable

Not bad at all, I read all of the post about Mosin Shoulder and even saw some pretty ugly bruises before hand so I grabbed the Mosin pad and I didn't feel a thing. Maybe one day I'll try it without my "sissy" pad, LOL!

The only cure for that is another Moisn!

 

[Fordtough25]

Pick up a couple spam cans and that will hold you over for a little while. Mosin's are a blast for sure!

 

[Flinttim]

The pull length of the Mosins is a bit short for me so I sewed up a butt plate cover from some thick leather and added some hi density foam inside that. Takes some of the sting out. For great fun get a M44 Mosin and shoot it right at dark. Oh My !

Or two, or three, or ....

Congrats!! Very fun gun to shoot! Feed her plenty

 

[superjoe76]

They sure are fun to shoot. Something about them just rocks!

 

[ghostv1]

A buddy of mine gave me a case of this a few days ago. On top of that, I just had a Midwest catalog show up in the mail offering numbers matching "excellent" condition 91-30s with all the trimmings including bayonet for $79! I still think I'd rather buy one I can put my hands on before I pay for it though.

I picked up a 1" rubber recoil pad from Tickbitesupply.com for $15 that helped out with the length of pull deal. I've seen them at gun shows under the AIM brand name also for about the same price. Lets me shoot that surplus ammo with less shoulder abuse but now i need something similar for my Enfield #4 mk1.

I am the proud owner 2 Mosins a Hungarian M44, and a 1891/30 hope to get out to the range soon with them.

You do know that there is no cure, and the only treatment to temporarily relieve the symptons is buy more Mosins on a regular basis, right?

That's what I'm afraid of.
