The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Hey Steve - Mr. Hlavinka and I don't live too far away from you. If you need somebody to stop by your house to check up on the Mosin family while you're on vacation, just let us know . We'd be more than happy to make sure that they get enough excercise .

I've had mixed results with the Aguila 60gr SSS rounds. The bullet needs a fast twist barrel for stabilization. The typical .22 lr barrel is a 1:16 twist - not really fast enough for the heavy bullet. This is why you were seeing the rounds keyhole at 25 yds. My best success with the SSS rounds is wh...

Interesting plinker you have there, mogunner - like a lot of listers here, I, too, have a fondness for .22 lr rifles. Looking at your 100 yd target - was that shot with the CCI Blazer? If I look at the targets below your top sighter row, it looks like just a shade over 1" vertical dispersion an...

Poor cleaning techniques can ruin a bore faster than shooting it can. +1 - Perhaps one of our "enterprising" listers could develop a good cleaning rod guide for the M-N receiver. These are a must if you really want to do the job right and minimize wear and/or damage to the rifling. Mike

Here's another .22lr AR option for you - here's some pics of my setup. It's a Tactical Solutions dedicated .22lr upper on top of a RRA NM lower. So, if you already have an AR-15, this could maybe work for you. Fun to shoot, and pretty accurate, too! :mrgreen: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y286/dr...

Not really sure, maybe 2 1/2".

Mr. H - That is a 3" dia. Birchwood Casey target dot (got a few more left in my shooting box for our next Fun-With-Firearms outing ).

Nice find R-man. Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like you guys have a nice private range setup, too. Sweet!

Mike

That is too bad, so young, so ugly. Have you thought of 80 grit on a belt sander?? Do you think that would work to remove those wierd stripey marks? :vconfused: If it didn't work, you'd at least have a nice rough surface for the spray-on truck bed liner to adhere to :D . All kidding aside - some be...

A great price for this stuff. I've shot a 1000+ rounds of the PMC through my Stag AR. Good accuracy. The brass is high quality if you're a reloader. Be advised however that the primers are crimped and the crimp will have to be removed before reloading.

Mike

Hah - very nice shooting Erik . Was that shot with your 5200?

Can't believe nobody has jumped on this, yet - http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =255201672 . $445, a small price to pay for such a fine rifle produced by the famous "star and arrow" arsenal .

Mike

Nice shooting! And, a ten shot group really tells the story of the shooter and the gun, as opposed to the infamous "one shot into one ragged hole all day long, if I do my part" group .

I'll admit that I cherry picked that particular group from several targets I have kept from that gun. The trick is to repeat a group like that on demand. Ain't happening with bulk ammo such as Fed Automatch. But it can happen, occasionally ;)

Nice :) Something for me to keep an eye out for. 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) Thanks, JYD. And, the M12 is U.S. property marked as it was used as a military match rifle - that might add to the appeal for you. So keep your eyes peeled for one. Never got into those... Maybe a good thing. I can't afford to keep up...

Very cook, Erik - thanks for sharing the pics :D . I guess it is similar in concept to a Polish WZ48 trainer for the Mosin platform. It looks as though the receiver has a dovetail built into it. Any thoughts of mounting a scope on it, at least temporarily to check accuracy? Mike Way ahead of you Mi...

Hey smallbore fans - here's some pics of my two H&R M12 22lr match rifles. The one with the adjustable buttplate also has had action pillars and bedding added. The other one is pretty much standard, except a PO stained the birch stock for some reason. Both are quite accurate :D . Mike http://i7....

So here's a pic of me taken by Mr. Hlavinka during our recent outing over the weekend. The rifle is a Savage 12 Palma (.308 Win) which I bought not too long ago. I'm trying to get it dialed in for an upcoming 300 yd match followed a few weeks later by a 600 yd match. I know it's not a Mosin - but at...

Looks like fun, but what is wrong with mikey's face? Nah, nothing wrong with my face. Actually, Mr. Hlavinka is just covering for me. The *real* reason I don't want my photo taken is that since my portrait has begun showing up in post offices I'm a little reluctant to have it show up on the 'net, t...

I just don't want to drill the receiver on my old Remington bolt action, as it was made sometime around 1940. [/img] BD - I do not own any BSA scopes but also have heard positive reviews on them. And, I am *quite* sure that you don't want to drill the receiver on your vintage Remington :o . If orig...
