The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

I have been asked by the local Marine Corp Vets to shoot some digital images 5 shots, of five wars with authentic stuff. The local guys are hosting the state wide MC event in June and I wonder if anyone knows any collectors in the Cen Tex area that would help me put together some militaria for the p...

I bought an M88A because I liked my Romanian t33. The pistol was a plinker plus and was well made up until the plug that secured the recoil spring left on its second outing. I am now getting ready for a warranty improvement by Century Arms. By the way the hammer nips at the web of my hand when firin...

My previous thoughts that red dots with a small moa were what you needed for hair splitting. New thought: Why not use a12 o'clock hold on top of the dot. Too soon old to late smart.

Every family firearm that I would have treasured has evaded me, except the Rem 521t I learned to shoot on, learned how to refinish a stock on, and eventually traded off as a fledgling gun trader. My old man had a 45 1911 A1 he carried through the battle of the bulge and the hospital on his way out. ...

I just put an Old Army ss back online after going through a fire. It took more than 6 months to get it apart. Wondered if I would ever get the hand spring and nub out of its blind hole but once I got a replacement handspring I put a drill bit that fit the hole and the plug on the end popped out. Put...

I have 6 Mosins including the finns but I still have room for a Rem.

Nice in every direction!

My VKT had coarse sand in the action. I shot it for a number of years with out a hitch, I thought the sand didn't give the previous owner a good outcome, There was more than a tablespoon full of grit. Jim do you know the source of the sand?

Happy New Year, lucky finds and great trades. Stay healthy and happy. I love the time I spend here.

I have a Norinco 22 semiauto Browning clone. /Browning copy and Norinco was told to seece and desist and Sarco sold the left overs. This rifle is wonderfully accurate and take down to boot. Also had a Norinco cheap bolt 22 that was more than worth the money but probably the sks was not worth a tumbl...

Very interesting to compare the two thanks. Nice way to make an acquisition.

There definitely was no romance connected to the Norinco and I bought it strictly as a shooter so I guess time decided no regrets...

I bought a Norinco new SKS in the old days for $67 and shot the Rumanian hollow points in it. It was a nice enough firearm but I never felt its accuracy was much better than hard ball sized groups at 25 yards. Years later when a guy offered me $275 for it I said buy bye.

The deal was a three for one trade, a new Mark I, a security six stainless 4 in and a new sup Blkhwk. What's not to like? The old sbh had a deep cherry red frame that noting could replace. I never did bond with the new SBH. I cut it down to 5 inch and never was special. It burned up and I never repl...

I bought my first 45 acp Colt Gold Cup in 1962 125th Colt anniversary. I worked an entire year with the Lunch Ladys at High School to do it. I wanted to be a good bullseye shooter back then. I was never really great. Got my first Super Blackhawk couple years later when they had just discontinued the...

Just glad Texas respects it's citizens and doesn't need to stick their noses into every aspect of life.

Very interesting jyd. I don't quite see the implications except maybe the sale of the pistol cylinder installed. Is there something else?

I bought this Pietta 1858 from Cabella's a couple years ago and never shot it. I decided to get a Howell cylinder in 45 Colt to motivate me to shoot it. 45 Colt is a light year ahead of a cap and round ball load and it is easier to clean. By the time the deed was done I was down almost 3 Benjamins a...

Texas is amazing, what's next? 23 inches in 48 hours, good thing I am at the highest point in the county, down river it will crest 49 feet above normal.
