M 91/30

[Squared1]

I just got a 1942 91/30 shoots great. Just wondering what is the best grain bullet to feed it. I'm already thinking on buying a second one. Any suggestion on a model to look for. It had a bit of a kick but my son his friend and a young lady took there turn firing it everybody wanted to shoot it great fun to shoot seemed pretty accurate. As weel

Mill surplus ammo is either 147ish or 180ish. It is still affordable. Here is a link for some

80 bucks pluss shipping isnt bad for 440 rounds of shoulder thumping

There are other quality brands for it like Wolf Gold out of Germany, Privi Partizan, and Selier & Belliot. Pretty sure I spelt the last one wrong. These are around 15 bucks and up for 20rnd.

Thanks sea dog do you have a favorite mosin

I have 5. 3 91/30s an 2 M44s. One is a Romanian that I sportserized. Wish I hadnt.

Favorite? Cant really say. But I do prefer the Russian M44 just cause it is smaller. I would like to get a Finn Mossin Nagant one these days. A later model.

I like mosins because they are cheep and affordable fun with a big round that there is a ton of cheep surpuss to be had

I have three mosins. All are 91/30. My favorite is the 1943, its the most beat up looking but has the best bolt and is most accurate. I also have a 1942 and 1940. All are izhevsk.

Reloading is the key to consistent accuracy.

I'd recommend to save up for a Finn - any of them are remarkable pieces of ingenuity and history.

The 91-30's usually like the light ball.

I have one 91/30 currently. I'm thinking of picking up an M44 and/or a Chinese T53 in the near future. I wished I hadn't passed up an opportunity to get an M38 not too long ago.

I have a couple of them, both 91/30s. One is SA marked that I got off a member here on OSA. I need to do some more research to know exactly what I have.
