Hello.

I just discovered this Forum, looks good!

I got my first Mosin Nagant after reading about them on the internet.  Discovered one with a private seller at a Tampa gun show.  I was looking for AKM items when I showed my wife an example of what I'd been reading about, a Izhevsk 1943 M91/30.  She immediately said it would look great on the wall and I should buy it!!!  We call it Wall - e.  It does hang on the wall, but it is a very accurate shooter.

A year or so later, I picked up a Tula 1939 M91/30 with a 2002 Ukrainian PU Scope.  I called my PU Sniper knowing full well it is not original.  It hits the gong at 300 meters.

Still not a collector..

At a recent Mobile gun show, I found a TULA 1924 5-LINE РСФСР M1891 - No import or refurb marks.  Had to get it!!.  Cleaned it up and fired Czech low recoil 46gr ammo since I had no information on its history and last firing.  No problem so I shot a few rounds of Soviet milsurp 148gr heavy ball.  Shoots great.

Result - just sent off for my 03 FFL C&R!!!!
