The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

Use of the gas check depends on how fast your sending the bullet down the barrel. Full hot loads Yes use a gas check. Slow light loads/check barrel for leading. Depends what your doing there and how hot/fast the load is your using. I make up some very light, carnival type loads , 1100 fps , no gas c...

I have received this Book and find it most educational and enlightening, full of pictures and history, I recommend it . I ordered an extra to keep as new Since the first ones gonna get worn out going through it.

I enjoy all kinds of antique tractors, small engines and rock & mineral explorationing. Trails in the high country , Colorado, Rocky Mtns. Amateur Radio-WØKDL, Fishing, Kayaking. a few more, yeah I keep myself busy.

Video anyway is the youtube Mosin Museum (The Finnish Mosin Dilemma: What is 7.62x53r?)

Check the video above, it should help you out. Slug your barrel, for bore size ie: .308, .310, .311, .312, ..313 ect...find out your chamber dimensions go from there. Lot's of this and that out there on the 7.62x54 vs. 7.62x53 It is confusing Do not use steel case heavy ball ammo for 7.62x54 in it r...

I have been trying different loads for my various Mosin Nagants. I have not tried them all yet. I was shooting yesterday and this load suprised me in it's accuracy and lighter recoil. I happen to have excess 4064 powder so thats what I am using presently. bullet is Sierra 150 grn. jsp spitzer dia. ....

Thank You Comrade !

Looking good, some kind of sighting deice, have you found out exactly what it is yet?

Nice looking rifle enjoy it

Scope not original nor mount, bolt handle looks suspect too. ch stamp would be for a sniper bbl. I don't see it either.

Shoot it first, Yes! see how it is, then decide whether to shim /accurize it further. Somewhere I read it is usual for them to have a few punds of upward pressure on the barrel in the stock thats how they were made. Combat weapons yes not custom built target rifles. But they can be very accurate .

The 165 grn. should be fine, shot placement is the key here. If you handload you can experiment for the most accurate load for your rifle. Just shoot it and become at ease with it and where it shoots at different ranges. Does it group well? ifso just practice and become a good shot with it. locktite...

Rifle not original sniper, 1942 or newer is a must
