    hidden history in my type 99!

    I always said if they could only talk! Very nice heirloom and I dont blame you if you dont shoot it. Make sure you write down how you got it and the story about the sand so you too can pass it on the next generation. The passing on of such items always bring warm thoughts to my heart. The...

    Nimrod sniper scope 6x40

    Nimrods and the Kahles scopes were very robust designs and built for mounting on an accurized M1a for target engagement to 600yds. The originals had Tritium in them for night shooting but most of it was removed prior to selling to the public. These scopes used to sell for $250-$350 back when i...

    Mosin project. Final.

    nice sporter! love the cheap and effective 7.62x54r... McGowen makes barrels of the right bore diameter.. Another thing one could try is to just buy a $100 GreenMountain blank they have a few that are .3085" bore.. most surplus Russian is like .3095" so one oculd shoot it in a .308 barrel.

    My Mosin Nagant M-44 Scout

    I have bought literally dozens of Mosin over the years as I have watched the price go up... I always take a round with me and use it in the muzzle to gauge bore wear, and have been very successful getting really good shooters. MOST of the ones for sell these days have been counterbored so it...

    Mosin xlr sytle stocks?

    I agree to much variation to make a generic modular that fits right. If you decide on wood I just saw Gorilla gunworks has a laminated Anshutz style prone stock and after I called them he said that he could cut the barrel channel for HB or just leave steps out so I could finish the way I wanted.

    Mosin Nagant vs 5 Gallon Water jug!

    Awesome video--- I have chrono'd some Russian surplus 7.62x54r out of a 29" barreled 91/30 at 2680-2740fps. This is a very underrated round and cna be very accurate. I have one I built with one of those UK-59 heavy machinegun barrels that is incredibly accurate. Handloaded 7.62x54R can equal...

    1943 Mosin-Nagant sniper surprise video!

    I have had several Mosins and some of them were very impressive. Mosins are addictive and the price on them keeps creeping up. Keep an eye out for Hungarian surplus as it is the most accurate surplus light ball I have found.

    7.62x54R cheap shooter

    Re: 7.62x54R cheap shooter Easiest fix on shooting high is to take a piece of electrical shrink wrap (Black) slide it on the front post and heat it up! GO to the range and slowly trim it down until you hit a zero! CHECK Youtube for trigger jobs...lots of info on there___I have gotten mine...

    Mosin Nagant 1938 Tula repro w/Redfield Accuttrac

    I have three Ex-PU's I am working to put back together, and one Repro PU with slightly newer optics. This is a 1938 Tula reproduction PU that I selected for the bore (always buy yours barrel first-everything else is secondary). I used a piece of Fel-Pro gasket making material up under the...
