Thank you, my brotha. Sorry if I went about it the wrong way...

I'll buy you a cold one, if ever we shall meet.

Order online. Not the cheapest, but OK. Do you reload?

If you plan on going out of state anytime soon, Cabela's in Phoenix had it on the shelf. It was Hornady ammo, and $30 a box but at least they had it...

For the record, there is no reason to buy the Hornady ammo over the Prvi Partisan because the brass Hornady uses is PPU anyway.

You picked the wrong rifle to not reload with. Hehe.

I think I have an issue of surplus firearms from last year that had an article on the m.95 and m.95/30... I'll see if I can dig it up.

Lots of good info, especially about the recoil. I can't wait, not to buy one!

Straight pull bolt, enbloc clip fed; Not a bad rifle for $99. Learn to deal with the recoil!

Actually, I have no problem with the recoil when I have the buttplate tight against my shoulder. Only use factory new ammo for it.There is more detailed information on here on these guns than any site I have found on the internet. There is a book available on these guns through Amazon, but I doubt that it has better information than found here. Now to get my gun out of the safe and have it on my lap and check out the markings and details that are posted here to find out what they really mean. Should pull the shades or the neighbors will think I'm weird!

I saw some .338's for sale and was wondering if you could squeeze them down that much. I have a .329 sizing die I use to put gas checks on cast boolits...... Thanks for the tip MB!

If you slug your barrel, you will likely find that its' bore is greater than .329 - mine slugged at .332 so I had Lee make me a push through sizing die .333 in diameter. I plan on sizing both boolits and bullets with it....

I'm actually wondering if an M95 would be a decent hunting and bear defense gun. Nice and light to carry - but still packs a punch. It will be interesting to see what kind of accuracy is possible with correctly sized projectiles......

Pics? Is it a carbine or a cut down long barrel?

Are the sights short or long?

carbine, short sights. this is not a cut down long rifle. very blond wood like a nice yugo SKS. stamped ser# left side of barrel and receiver right next to each other.
pics are on the C&R under lets see your straight pull rifles. very happy. took it apart this morning. nice thin coat of cosmo on every thing. not like a mosin cosmo job.
