My dad purchased this Mosin-Nagant for me for X-Mas. It was built in 1942 and has the Soviet flag stamped on the action and burned into the wood. I doubt it's ever been shot because it still had cosmolene in the action and no wear whatsoever. I shot it 6 times yesterday and it's deadly accurate. (Hit a soda can at 100 yards open sight)
In the case are two Ammo Pouches with 2 packages of original ammo still in the paper, a bayonet in perfect condition, an original oil can and a sling. It's awesome to have a piece of WWI-WWII history. This weapon was built in Stalingrad, btw... (According to all of the matching numbers anyway) http://i563.photobucket.com/albums/s...jAwNS5qcGc.jpg Posted via Mobile Device |

I have one and it kicks like a mule. It looks like you have the long barreled version. I have the short barreled carbine. |

I wrapped mine in paper towels,put it on the dash of the car & left it to bake.
I hate cosmolene, shit is so messy Edit Im sure you know this/but just in case That old Russian mil surplus ammo will eat your rifle. Clean the boar good, run a lil oil down her More edit You can lighten the trigger very easily with shims cut out of a pop-can or any thin metal. |

Finished upgrading my AR today. I installed a quad rail yesterday and bought an adjustable foregrip and vortex strikefire red/green dot today.

I am going to ask some reloading questions here in a few months, so any advice when the time comes will be appreciated. Thanks. :) |

You might buy some Sellier & Belloit ammo - they're a Czech company IRRC, their ammo is pretty good and you should be able to reload their brass. They'll have 'russian short and long' stuff. Likewise, Serbian Prvi Partisan. I've had good luck shooting both. I don't reload, but my (fallible) memory tells me that these will work for you that do.
