i shoot my mosin nagent 91/30 all the time, even more now that i reload for it. bought it at dunhams for 79.99, all the numbers match and its a 1944. factory corrosive fmj rounds kick like a mule.
im gonna try it out once this year on deer just to give the old girl another chance to kill, haha.

Accuracy is quite hit or miss out there. However, there are some that are real tack drivers.

You can't beat that price. I bought a whole crate of rounds I think over 700 for real cheap. I don't think I will ever use it all.

Most of what I have heard and read about the Swede though is that these guns where known to be very accurate. I am sure that there are the shot out or improperly taken care of rifles out there though.

Got an M1 Garand and a 1903 Springfield. My 1931 '03 has a 1944 barrel on it and looks like it hasn't been fired since the re-barreling. Would like to get a Mosin just 'cause they're cheap.

IM IN LOVE WITH ar'S / 223 VERY ACCURATE!

I have two mosins. both 1936's and also a nagant pistol, also a 1936. I like them. will be buying some mausers soon too.

I would like an AR too, but there's just not the history behind them that you get with the older rifles. I think the days of history where nation warred against nation for control of territory are largely passed. Maybe not, but ARs won't ever have the historical association of a WWI or WWII, nor will we be able to own the actual rifles, only semi-automatic versions of the real ones.

Garands, Springfields and Mosins are the very ones used by the folks who played a role in history and one can dreams of the stories your rifle could tell you if it could. For ARs, all you get is one somewhat like a "real" one (M-16/M4).

Just perspective from a history nut.

you can own automatic ars? you can own ANYTHING? AUTO JUST DO THE PAPERWORK? AND BUY THE TAX STAMP.

Model 96 Swedish Mauser..in all its glory and 29" barrel. Mine was a gunshow find for less than $100. The shorter ones were Model 38 s I believe.
