ThatZX14Fella Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Is there any other Mosin Nagant lovers out there? I've liked them for a while and treated myself to a '43 Tula 91/30 on the 26th. I shot it for the first time yesterday and I am definitely in love and will probably end up owning at least ten more Mosins. I was waiting to get my field gauge in to make sure the head space was good before I shot it. The headspace is good, firing pin protrusion is good, bore is good, everything seems good. My accuracy was off yesterday because I was a little nervous about shooting such a high caliber rifle with a steel buttplate considering all the horror stories I've heard about the recoil. After the first shot I realized that it doesn't kick at all. Anyways, I love this thing. Sorry if this doesn't make too much sense, I heard a loud explosion and kinda lost my train of thought.

Megastink Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I have a 91/30 sniper with the PU scope. Awesome rifle. Shoots 203gr Brown Bear SP 1 moa. Not bad for a 73 year old rifle. 1 Quote
BassSlayer71 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 I bought a 1954 type 53 Mosin. I really liked the gun and it was very accurate. I should have kept it but right now, I feel I need more protective guns than older, more collector style guns. I will have another and a type 53 SKS to go with it. 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted January 15, 2015 Super User Posted January 15, 2015 If you like Mosins, don't ever get into M1 garands, it will lead into a lifetime addiction that will leave you broke Lol. 1 Quote

ThatZX14Fella Posted January 18, 2015 Author Posted January 18, 2015 If you like Mosins, don't ever get into M1 garands, it will lead into a lifetime addiction that will leave you broke Lol. I've been wanting an M1 Garand and a M1903A3 for a while. Lol I see the Garands all over the place, just don't have that kinda money. I'd like to get deeper into milsurps. I know a decent amount about Mosins, just don't know anything about the others, unfortunately. I occasionally see Mausers and Lee Enfields, but I never know what model they are or if it's a good deal. Quote
SHaugh Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Milsurps are enjoyable because you can literally feel history when you hold them. I've had them all and spent way too much money on them as well. Garands, 1903's etc. What kid didn't grow up with the image of a Garand being the ultimate mans rifle? John Wayne..... etc... I could try to save you that money by telling you that they are all really about the same in the end. Each has it's own weaknesses and strengths. Each has it's own rich history. My advice would be to find a good shooting Mosin or Lee Enfield no4 and call it a day. You won't find another gun with more palpable history, and they will not break your bank account either. 1 Quote
BigBass72 Posted April 21, 2015 Posted April 21, 2015 I have Two 91/30 one round receiver and one octagon receiver and a M44 carbine and Yes I have a Garand and 03 springfield. Quote
