Mosin Nagant, WHY?

[johnflaherty1]

I have one becuase it is very accurate and it was cheap to buy and the ammo is cheap i got mine at a pawn shop for like 50 dollars and the history of a 91/30 is very rich.

Why is this thread still popping up? There's no reason at all to not have a Mosin, even if you're just going to use it as a walking stick, club, or cane pole.

I find the rifle extremely accurate, I am not concern with beauty - I reload for this rifle - .308 bullets. I use factory loads and salvage the brass to reload, NORMA brass is very expensive.

.308??????? Am I missing something here?

7.62mm = .3 inches.

Well, normally Mosins use .310 or .311 bullets, same as the British .303 (confusing, no?). There are a few pre-WWII Finnish Mosins out there with true .308 bores, though, and he may have one of them.

This is what I was getting at. MOST Mosin bores are not TRUE .308, so I was a bit confused. If he has a Finnish Mosin that's pre-WWII it may have a .308 bore.

Nope, just asking for clarification So, is it a pre-WWII Finnish Mosin in .308? If so, post some pics!

7.62mm = .3 inches.

And yes, I can complete a simple mathematic conversion.

I've never found them to be ugly. In fact, I think the aftermarket ATI stock out there makes it look funny. It would be cool if someone made an aftermarket that was put together like the original though, with the top section held on by the rings, I mean.

Thanks, I learn something new everyday.

For $100 what else will be this much fun?

Walk don't run to Aimsurplus or JG Sales and order one if you don' have one. Mosins are a blast in all respects.

theyre like the sks in the aspect that you can mod them as far as teh sky. synthetic stocks. etc.... plus theyre as strong as a tank. these things will never break and if they do then the pieces are relatively cheap. my buddy bout 12 mossins for 800 bux and costomizes them for people
