First Mosin Nagant

[fatcpa]

I bought my first mosin nagant a few weeks back and finally got around to cleaning it up last weekend. Took it to the range this morning and had a great time. Lots of noise, fair amount of kick and certainly far from the most accurate gun I own, but still way up there on the fun scale.

yep they are fun guns. And with the price of ammo as it is they usually go to the range with me every time.

without question one of the best bargains actually available.

purchased a mosin last year from classifieds for $125 in extra clean condition with 400rds ammo. don't know of any other weapon that you could get into that cheap with enough ammo to last for a long time.

biggest drawback is corrosive ammo requires no delay in cleaning. which is not that big a deal, since you've got to clean your weapon after shooing anyways.

for deer hunting, most years I'd be lucky to get off a dozen rounds on my .270 Weatherby. about 5-6 rounds to verify scope is still dialed in ... then one round per deer.

I had one of those once, big gun with a big bang.

I like mine and like you said, big bang but not the most accurate. Still lotsa fun.

I have never had one. Maybe it is time to get one.

I am thinking I will be on the hunt for one at the big gun show next month.

Just picked one up myself a few weeks ago. Figured I couldn't wrong for a little more than $100.

I didn't have one until you had that group buy on 'em. Now it's pretty much the most popular gun I own (amongst my friends). I do need to get some more ammo though. It seems like every time I think I'll only shoot it a little I end up with a bruised shoulder and 100 rounds "missing".
