Mosin madness

[Mosineer]

I was thinking if my truck's antenna ever falls off I could use the bayonet!

don't forget the bayo for marshmellows...a few rounds down range, then then you can have a nice hot, sweet snack...

ran up to henryville ranges today (watch the ice) and shot the Mosin..... high and to the right...I thought Commies were to the left!... didn't get to get it on paper, but killed some snow and dirt, group seemed tight...

After some tweaks to my M44, (yes, my mosin madness has flared up again) I decided to take some glamour shots and share... I couldn't help myself

Ok these rifles are reproducing. I just pick up one of these a couple of weeks ago and now I have a M44 in safe. WTH. LOL!!!!

I myself just pick up a mosin. Why in the world i waited so long i will never know. Does any one know a good way of cleaning this rifle for the first time? Getting the cosmolin off of the gun. Just looking for some suggestions. thanks

Maybe a little cold right now, but wrap it up in newspaper, put it in a black trash bag, and put it out in the sun. Nothing makes cosmoline run faster than heat and the newspaper soaks it up.

Its like a disease and lays potato chips all rolled into one....No one can have just one and the itch keeps coming back. I have been trying to figure out how to store all of the bayonets...tent stakes....marshmallow roasters the ideas keep coming.

Stick a pair in the wall and hang long arms on 'em. A pair should hold 4 or 5 rifles. . .

I really need to stop making threads in the middle of the night. I'll post my odd experience here:

I had been having feed issues with my M44. It would catch up when I loaded the magazine to 5, either by hand or with stripper clips. I swapped what is apparently called the interrupter assembly with the one in my 91/30. This sorta fixed the issue, but it still jammed up more than I would have liked. I then swapped the bottom spring in the magazine and bam, it works smooth now. The weird part is you'd think the 91/30 would now have the problem that the M44 was having with it's parts in there, but it works fine.

How much does a mosin run?

Anyone know a good place to pick one up in southern in?

 

[T-DOGG]

I can't speak for Southern Indiana, but K&T Guns in New Haven has them in stock for $125.99. I got mine for a little cheaper today because there was a chip in the stock. It came with all the goodies; ammo pouches, oil can, tools, bayonet, and sling. I can't flippin wait to shoot this thing. I wasn't even looking for one and it caught my eye yesterday when I was buying a different gun. Feelin all nostalgic and what not!!

 

[tv1217]

Could have gotten one cheaper

Russian 1891/30 7.62x54R Mosin Nagant Rifles

Even w/ shipping and a FFL transfer charge (for those of you without a C&R :P) it's still cheaper.


Unless it wasn't a 91/30, then good deal.

Orion arms some places in Louisville, Like 111 gunshop

 

[Oliver08]

I was wondering if anyone has ever shot the 91/30 in the wood stock with out the upper handguard and barrel rings. I have been thinking about getting another stock and cuting off the thinner end, but I'm worried that it would pull the screws threw with out the bands to hold the barrel in. Thanks
