See what you guys made me do!

[Saiga223]

For $89.99 I couldn't resist. All numbers match except for the mag door (I guess that's what it is) Anyway spent the last 2 hours cleaning it up so I'm thinking it's ready. The rifling inside of the barrel looks really good, bolt is smooth, now I just have to check the head space. Thanks for all of the tips!

Nice, I've been thinking about pickin' one up myself. Too cheap to pass up! I'll be divulging into some research before my purchase, as I know little to none about these.

Congrats, I know you made at least ONE person jealous.

You drank the Mosin Kool-Aid! From a fellow Mosin owner, congrats on your purchase!

FYI, if you run out of ammo, they make great boat paddles!

Now go out and get that ati stock to sporterize it that costs more than the gun did.

Saw those at Dunhams when I got mine.. I almost bought a second one, just to do that with.

Terre Haute doesnt sell them anywhere.

 

[duffman0286]

[johntheplinker]

Very good! What is the date on it and where was it made?

The date is 1942, where to I look to tell where it was made?

I thought about it, but I have decided that the only thing I'm going to do to it is thread the barrel and add a sniper style flash hider and put the "sissy" pad on it. I have an abundance of ABRs already need to diversify, LOL!

I got mine at Dunham's in Anderson since they do not have any stores in Indy. It was on sale for $89.99 last week.

Triangle with arrow on this one so it is Izhevsk. Is that bad or good?
