Re: RUPTURED CARTRIDGE!!!

Damn :big shock:

I need a shot of vodka myself after seeing your photos!

First and foremost, I am glad you're ok. Dou44 have a nearly identical rupture recently (thankfully, he too was OK).

Have you checked the headspace on this rifle? Also, what ammunition were you shooting?

Re: 91 xo/mo

Man, lots of graffiti on that one! It looks like some marks have been scrubbed and stamped over too. Also, the font looks unique.

I'd grab this one for sure :thumbsup:

Re: Church men's retreat- food, guns, and the Bible!

It definitely sounds like you're loaded for bear...or taking over a small country! You boys be good!

It sounds like you're going to have a lot of fun! This ought to be one heck of a range report when you get back :thumbsup:

Re: How Do I Console My Friend? (Poor Quality Mosin)

Hi Dave, I agree with the others...I am very interested in seeing photos of this one. It sounds to me like this one has been around, and that could be a very cool thing. In my opinion, these old rifles don't have to be accurate shooters to be collectible. Who knows, his may shoot just fine, but that...

You've got to love the nonchalant attitude 8-)

If I had a sniper waiting to be cleaned up, I'd have taken 3 days vacation and posting happy smilies on the forum!

Re: Wiki - Early Cossack stock photo needed

While you are all busy taking photos of your Cossacks for me...might as well drag your Finn M24s out of the safe too.

Anyone have a stepped barrel M24?

Thank you...

I see a lot of holes in that paper. Looks like pretty good shooting to me!

Re: I just can't keep up!

Man, that stock is gorgeous! It may have been awhile since you posted a Mosin, but this one is worth waiting for! I was just talking with Brad (desdem12) recently how I actually love these refurbs. I am getting anxious for Cabela's to have a $99 sale again so I can pick up another one sight unseen. ...
