Re: Finally IDed what it is.....

Oh yea, on any given day I forget more than I remember, what the hell were we talking about again? Who? I blame Steve, that's my answer/story and I'm sticking to it. Now where were we going? MacDonalds, get me a big Mac and fries, why is it dark out at lunchtime? :shock: who am I? Who are you? What...

Re: New roof going on today

Down there I would take a page out of the middle ages and build with stone with walls five feet thick. The high water table probably precludes a dungeon, but you can't have everything.

Re: M1 Garand Review...........Post Your M1 Garands here!!!!

Back in 1991 I picked up a M1 Garand from the DCM for about $95.00 plus shipping. I've only fired about two 8 round clips through the rifle after I first received it. I haven't fired it since. There is a stamp on the barrel in the chamber area "S A 7-41". I most likely won't fire it again...

Re: Help needed!

That would have been done by any of the non Russian users of these rifles, as nobody but the Russians used the Arshins system of measure. Even they didn't in the communist era.

Re: Help needed!

These rifles are covered with small markings, the older they are the more markings there will be. They indicate something was inspected by someone at some point in the rifles history from when it was new, and again each time it was upgraded, or repaired, given a refurbishment. The letters would be a...

Re: What to do with this rifle (possibly m91 SCW)?

Leave it be until you stumble across a stock that it would look good in. Might take years, even decades.

Re: 1939 mosin 91 30

It does have the classic look of a post WW2 Soviet refurbished rifle. In the decades after the war the Soviets refurbished their Great Patriotic War rifles as well as captured German weapons and stashed them away to arm the people in the event of war with the west as well as supplying them to anti w...

Re: Help Identifying possible M91/30

It's a typical Soviet post WW2 refurbished 1943 M91/30. These will have a mix of parts from any year Mosin, parts were kept in service and used during refurbs for as long as they stayed in spec. This is normal for any refurb Soviet Mosin or Finn used captured Soviet weapon. The pin is there to stren...

Re: M91/30 from bass pro

Shooting shorter ranges that sort of performance is common, very rarely did I get one that shot dead on at 100-150 yards, most went 5-10" high. Aim for the belt to hit the head, or six O'clock hold on the target should get it hitting on the target only slightly high.
