OK;
I read over several months’ worth of threads in this section and found some great info. I procrastinated long enough. So I applied for my C&R License.
I also read over a good many threads on Mosin Nagants, have become addicted to Hickok 45's flippin' Youtube Channel!
What have you people done to me?
Ok, I can't turn back now.
So I need your help in deciding which Mosin to purchase first. I like the 91/30, but I also like the OAL of the M 44.
I don't really think I want a Type 53 after reading about the quality issues, and I know unless I can actually handle the gun in person, it'll be a bit of a risk anytime I order one.
I want a Mosin for general shooting, but I'd also like to do some deer hunting with one as well. I may well eventually scope one out, like the discussion in the Affordable scope for Mosin thread.
So I need to rely on your expertise here.
Any suggestions for a first Mosin? I have a feeling there'll be a few in my future.
Anyone handload the 7.62 x 54 R?
Suggestions on vendors are welcome and appreciated. (I have several bookmarked to send signed copies of my C&R when it arrives.)
Thanks for the help in advance. Also thanks for the new obsession...like I needed one...
