The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Folks, I have a hard time to answer this, but I will, anyway: My '32 Ishevsk Hex with the red numbers and red back visor blade shoots into 3x3 feet at 350m = 400yards with open sights. That is the one! And she is beautiful in furniture and metal, as shown here already. We had her out yesterday, open...

Welcome to the forum! As to cleaning, look up the post above, as to ammo, most surplus is corrosive and you should clean your Mosin on the day you shot it. As to head spacing, you better check that first or let a gunsmith do it for you. The OKIE site will help you get the right gear for the future. ...

EEEEENNNNNJJJJOOOOYYYY!!!!
While you can

:chuckles: :chuckles: So you really want to know?? :chuckles: :chuckles: Here u have it: John, 66 :chuckles: to be 67 in May :chuckles: If I encounter a day when I do not want to shave the man in the mirror anymore, I will know it's time to let go. But until then, my Mosin Ladies fire me up every da...

Even so, PSMD, brass is softer than the original steel used some 50 years ago. So expect early retirement of these because of wear and tear......but only if you use 4 clips for a monthly range shooting of 100 rounds each, lol. :D :D :D The scraping of the steel rounds onto the brass may fall into yo...

JTH, if you compare an SKS clip with a Mosin clip, you will see the difference: SKS clip keeps the round level to the next one, as there is not enough space left and the clip grabs the shell directly in the groove. Mosin (RIM) clips just catch the rim, but you can move the cartridge up and down towa...

3 DOGS,
thanks for the "cool", right now I need to fold, but I have a rabid comment about your motto in my sarcastic mind that I need to churn on a little longer...but I know, you will love it. So "bear' with me, and let me keep my arms....

P.S. I am not at war with four legged pigs or boars, so I would never discriminate their fat!! You are waiting for the "but" ?...extension 2-legged? Not here......People need to be , and are nice here. Thinking of Patrick Swayzee and his "Roadhouse" movie, he made me a believer i...

ofgg, that's not cosmoline, it's perfumed Russian Style pig fat (high density gun grease). According to JYD's post somewhere here on the forum cosmoline is a US thing only, not used in the USSR ever. Nevertheless the perfumed pig fat (as my wife calls it) smell is also available on Yugo SKSs, so it ...

:D :D :D It was the EPA Conviction on the Silver Ranch near Vegas, I think, Jim. You could not come because you had to oversee your inhouse ammo inventory (the important annual one) The ladies just raced for the cards, they had a strawberry lolly attached to sweeten up the EPA horse s..t.......but I...

Deputy, h..l yeah, they were kinda 2 egg twins, I guess. Thumbs up, anyway, man. I have been working as a merchant manager 35 years, I know those stories well enough from the other side! I would hhave hated to deal with this on their side. I think they did the best they could, having no real replace...

:big shock: It's over! And the guy got the gal! :biggrin: Folks, what a ride, just like Buckeye I read the whole thing in one session. 4 hours on my slow laptop, :beek: One thing remains to be said -although I am not really the right person to close the thread- I lift my hat to everyone here keeping...

Apart from the fact that the Dolk refused to issue me RMNF business cards because of my one-track mind I have to say that a lot of people there knew the forums. Other than that, I personally like to go out on weekdays, however, depending on my days off work, I have to bite the weekend bullet once in...

WooHoo, what a catch!!!!!
Congrats and cudoos

Catcracker, you little :devil2: , if I were in OH, I would seek an opportunity to enlighten you about the "Dark Forces Below" and the privileges of having snakes guarding my livestock :big shock: :biggrin: :chuckles: :chuckles: :chuckles: :chuckles: If you were here, I would take you acros...

Very nice, congrats....

Seems shootable, so a front band is ok. But make it Ishevsk, lol. The rod, IMHO, secondary, only if you intend to present it with other Mosins or sell it. Real nice find!!

Rusko75 Depending where you are......fast retraining??? On Sat and Sun our open range place had an average of 5 parties (shooting, not partying) from 8am through 4pm, lots of 7.62 all varieties being shot, even 2 50 cal and 1 338 Lapua, I was quite surprised. Lots of Mosin 91-30 and 3 M44s. Finally ...

Ofgg, thanks, sounds familiar, now :chuckles: :chuckles: :chuckles: :biggrin: There are hardly any horses in town, no cows at all and you may get a ticket, if your dog barks too loud to shy a coyote away. :biggrin: But there are lots of D Nuts around :big shock: We call them T Ds, Town Ds, with the ...

I still have some 1952 60 LPS on clips that I use on the range, was to late on newer crates, oh well, this drought will pass.

JYD, Jim, some people on the range are even talking about the alternative, and they do not have tattoos, but some have stars...

Nutty??

Can someone please enlighten me what FUBAR means, maybe per email, if it is not possible here. Come on guys, I gave you the recipe for a P D & Steel211 Party, payback time is here! Tnx in advance. Towards the fruits and nuts issue some hot news: Our city council (all Ds) is contemplating about a...
