YAY! My first mosin is home!

[Notblake]

After 10 long 24 hour periods I've added a new member to my family.

A 1943 russian 91/30. Picked it up from big 5 for $99, the gun is rough around the edges, but clean where it matters!

I detail stripped it and cleaned off as much cosmo as I could find, I then watched Enemy at the Gates. (lol)










What do you guys think? how did I do?

[Rem222]

You can't go wrong with a Mosin. I have a friend I shoot with that has a 91/30. It's a tack driver and cheap to shoot. Have fun with your new rifle..

A great link.....7.62x54r.net

Post some pictures if you get a chance.

What is a post about a "new" gun without some pictures?

Congrats on your new rifle though.

Sorry, I guess the pics were only showing for me.... can you see them now?

(of course a thread like this is useless without pics)

[wsmc27]

I can see 'em.

CONGRATS!

Gotta go watch the movie again and dream of future 91/30 purchase!

Congrats on your new rifle

[mievil]

Doesn't look counterbored. Nice SN, too.

[Interloper]

Nice rifle.
I trust you aren't thinking about stripping the stock or drilling for a scope mount?

[gorblimey]

Looking good.

I am. My iron sights are all messed up. It shoots way high at 100yards.
Might get a Monty Carlo stock too.

[IronCobra]

Now you need a carbine to go with it.

Shoots high at 100 yards, you say? What were those Russians thinking?!

[Fate]

Of course it shoots high at 100 yards. That's bayonetting range!

Congrats! Welcome to the addictive world of the Mosin-Nagant. Better make room for more of them. It won't be long before you feel the itch to buy another.

I actually just picked one those up myself a week or two back from Big 5, same price, probably from the same sale, but haven't had a chance to bring it out to the range yet.

Let us know how she shoots!
