Shooting Nagant at the range

[rogdigity]

I was considering selling it months ago, but I came into the money I needed and I figure it's at least worth more as a piece of history in a holster than as cash in my pocket.

still interested. PM sent on that one

Just to follow up on the thread. I went to the range today with my Nagant and have shoot about 4 full loads at 20 yards. As has been predicted by the author of the cross-port above - the revolver was shooting at about correct height. So, I think it is normal when it shoots high at 10 yards for it is zeroed at different distance.

sounds like the correct range for them. mine seems to be about the same.


i never had any of the russian surplus ammo but i hear it was a bit hotter then the hotshot stuff is. i hear it was comperable to the 32 H&R mag so i might be picking up some of them here in a few days to see how they work in my revolver.

of course that will be tied to a tree for the first 7 rounds though

well, as stated, wrong thread, but you can find bore sighters anywhere. as for adjusting the sights, looks pretty simple. get a brass hammer or go to napa auto-parts and get a drift pin

Apologize for not getting back, but do understand that my post was not about the correct firearm being discussed.

just trying to help out. the nagant m1895 revolver is commonly refered to as a 'nagant', while myself and im sure plenty of others refer to thier mosin-nagant rifles as nagants as well. as for your sights, did you get them fixed up?
