Default Mosin Nagant!!

Well I just made use of my C&R license for a firearm purchase and ordered a Mosin Nagant 1891/30 rifle. Hopefully I will get a good one. Pictures when it arrives!!!

I have always wanted one, why I have no idea but I went ahead and put in the order with Aim Surplus.

I love mine. It came covered in cosmoline and took loving carry cleaning. Had a scope put on it by the gunsmith and its a blast. I can shoot a 4 inch plate at 200 yards with no problem.

Well I finally finished getting the cosmoline off after a good break down and soaking the parts in mineral spirits which by the way works great!!! I might work on the stock or I may just leave it as is!!

I keep seeing crates full of them at the gun shows, but haven't got one yet. I may need to actually pick one up to look at it more closely next time.

I think I'd rather have a 1903 A3, but $100 is pretty darn cheap.
