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!!!!
