Re: Nagant O Rama !
Are those decent Mosins? I would really like to pick one up for that price, and a crate of ammo.

As for the 'Hex' receiver, these are early Mosins built during WWII. After the war they went to a round receiver to save on fabrication costs. |
Re: Nagant O Rama !
Several points in this post:
- MN rifle holds 5 rounds (as previously posted). The Nagant revolver holds 7 rounds of oddball (deep seated wadcutter bullet, case mouth crimped over bullet nose) ammo. It's interesting to compare the Nagant revolver to a more modern (S&W, Colt, Ruger,...) revolver. There's been a wee bit of progress made over the past 100 or so years! - 7.62x54R is what I call a "real" caliber, about the same power as a .30-06. It is NOT a magic, armor piercing round, in normal loadings. Treat it as a .30-06 for penetration. Yes, if you find some hardened core (not mild steel core) AP bullets, good things could happen. - AIM's MN rifles, while advertised as "Refinished to Excellent Condition", should be considered as very good external condition. I got a couple rifles a couple months ago. One was a round receiver, 1938 Tula arsenal receiver (star w/ vertical arrow mark). Excellent condition bore (slightly worn, but strong & bright). Arsenal repair at toe of buttstock, plenty of scratches/scrapes & some drips to the shellac finish. Bluing is in VG-Exc condition, with noticeable wear at muzzle (from mounting the bayonet), small InterOrdnance dot matrix import mark on top of barrel by muzzle. Bayonet serial number doesn't match rifle receiver s/n. NOTE: I've found InterOrdnance to be untrustworthy scum in firearms purchases. Buy direct from them at your own peril. My second AIM rifle was a 1928 dated hex Izhevsk arsenal receiver (Cyrillic markings), with similar metal & wood condition to the round receiver rifle mentioned above. The front of the stock (?forend?) was finished with very dark (drippy) shellac, while the buttstock was finished with the normal red-yellow shellac. Good Soviet workmanship! Mosin Nagant rifles are neat pieces of history. The AIM rifles are certainly worth the $70-$80 (especially since they come with all they neat accessories). While ammo prices have doubled over the past couple years, it's still fairly inexpensive compared to other "real" calibers. If you want to see some really neat MN rifles, look at those made during mid-WWII. VERY rough machining on the receivers - they look almost like they were chewed out of a chunk of steel by a beaver on crack. They still worked, though! |
Re: Nagant O Rama !
The glee over MN rifles is a sad testimony to the fact that our government is disarming the populace by narrowing our choice of arms to 100-year old technology. Maybe that is a slight exaggeration -- the AK-47 came out in 1947, but that was full-auto, and we aren't allowed to have that technology. The only thing we can reasonably afford to arm ourselves with is semi-automatic. Without banning all guns they have accomplished their purpose -- they have made sure that the population is out gunned by law enforcement and military.
You had better purchase guns according to the following criteria before they are outlawed: 1. Black 2. High capacity (15+ handgun, 20+ rifle) 3. Semi-auto only Be sure to buy commonly available calibers. |
Re: Nagant O Rama !
They may have BETTER guns and cutting edge TACTICS
But we have MORE guns and the DRIVE to defend our way of life. When those two forces collide History has show who the winner is time and time again. T |

As for backup via bolt-actions, you can buy several Mosins for 1 AK. Yes, I know you can only shoot 1 rifle at a time......BUT consider this. STRENGTH in NUMBERS and I'll have plenty of Mosins to pass out to defending neighbors, comrades, etc. ........IF we get to that point. AND, if and when the EBR's get banned then the prices of Mosins go up along with a lot of other guns. It's kinda like arguing whether or not to invest in Gold or Silver. Yes, I have some Gold coins but also include 90% junk silver in my stash..........cheap and necessary. :yes: |

theses were so full of cosmoline- I found a gunsmith that charged me $35 a gun to clean them up( takes me about a week to clean one gun of cosmoline)- when I got them back they looked like they were brand new plus he test shot both, well worth the $35 although if you look at it a dollar way it cost me half the gun to clean them. |
Re: Nagant O Rama !
I just got back from the little local gun shop.
Bought a real nice looking Mosin Nagant for $95 + tax. It is a Izhevsk, Russia manufacture, dated 1943, has a round receiver and all the numbers on the gun match. It came with a bayonet, tools, oil bottle, sling etc. The gun is very clean, no cracks, no dings to speak of either. The dealer said it came from Southern Ohio Gun so they may have more nice ones. I have AKs, pump shotguns, handguns etc but this is my first real rifle.:getdown: |

Re: Nagant O Rama !
I love the MN rifles. I think I'll order two more while I'm thinking about it. Where else can you get a bolt action rifle with the punch of a 30-06 for under $100? And you can get stripper clips to help load those 5 rounds PDQ. If you have a C&R license, it's a no-brainer. Two more it is! :ok:

See what I mean? The South "lost" for technical Reasons....... if they had employed a "To The Last Man" mindset in due time it would have broke the back on The North. That is what happens when you have CENTRAL PLANNERS as opposed small pockets of resitence that are independant of each other but unified in purpose are able to asses and create strategies (on the fly) to antagonize and demoralize the enemy. It has worked in the past ..........and it will work again. T |
Re: Nagant O Rama !
Congrats Argent. Did you know it is possible to fire other rounds in your Nagant? I've fired S&W .32 Longs with little problem and I've heard you can fire .32 H&R Magnums also. Naturally you will want to read up on this before just taking my word for it and trying it out. Anyway, I'm sure you will enjoy your new acquisitions.
Here's a snapshot of my Nagant revolver http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q...nagant0010.jpg and my Mosin Nagant M-44. http://i132.photobucket.com/albums/q.../m44003rev.jpg Unfortunately both were tragically lost during a mountain-climbing expedition in the Himalayas. Shucks! |
Re: Nagant O Rama !
Does the cylinder press forward to seal the chamber on these revolvers?

Re: Nagant O Rama !
I have gone a different direction in my odd ball guns but many years ago a gun nut buddy kept telling me about these Russia rifles and pistols that could be had cheap. He love them, said they used the same ammo.
Its hard to believe they are still this low priced? I was talking to the neighbor about these guns a few weeks ago. He wants to better arm his family but not spend big bucks. So told him about Russia rifles and pistols that used the same ammo. Told him the ammo was still cheap and he could have it sent to my house as I do not care about who knows what. If I did not need a few things and more ammo for my odd ball guns I would buy these. I like my odd ball rifles better that these but with those low priced pistols you can not go wrong!! Just like my buddy told me a couple decades ago. |

That, and the cheap price, is the only good thing going for it. "Double action" is a workout! |
