Welcome to TGO! Enjoy your stay!

Academy Sports was very close to Wal-Mart on the 9mm I just bought. I paid almost $11/per 50 Remington UMC 9mm at Wal-Mart, and $56.xx/per 250 UMC 9mm at Academy.

All 3 have the same front sights. Post and globe. The rear sights appear the same, but the "dragoon" is attached to the barrel by a slighlty different method.

I have no idea what dragoon is, so I'm not sure that matters. All are in what appears to be very good condition. Because of the condition, I can only assume they have been refurbished.

I'm not interested in making any money with them. Was just curious if I should keep one over the other. All of them appear to have super nice bores.

I just called for you. They are out of the 9mm, but they have the same stuff in .40 S&W. They have about 5000+ rounds at $76.99/250 rounds. Again, probably find it cheaper, but they do have it.

I was in Academy Sports in the Rivergate area a few days ago, and they had about 5000+ rounds of 9mm UMC for $56.xx/250 rounds. I'm sure you can find cheaper, but they DID have them in stock.

Ok, I have 3 Mosin Hex 91/30's in front of me, and I'm trying to figure out which one (yes, just one) to keep. I've tried looking up the different marking and such, but am still a little confused. They all appear to be in about the same condition, and I'm not really sure any of the markings really matter. Just thought I'd check to see. All have matching numbers. The first one has markings like the picture below, except the date on mine is 1924. On the top of the receiver, there appears to be a Soviet Crest (somewhat faded) with a diamond below it. It also has a Ukrainian depot/refurbishment mark on the stock, like the picture below. The second one looks similar to the picture below, except the date on the one in front of me is 1934. I think there were a couple other stamps on it, but they are very hard to make out. The third one looks similar to the picture below, except the date on the one in front of me is 1933. I think there were a couple other stamps on it, but they are very hard to make out. The rear site (numbers/lines) and part of the serial number are filled with orange. There also appears to be a faded star, with the date 1933 stamped on the stock, like the picture below. The sling slots on this one have screws in them. Maybe Pre-WWII? The other Mosin's do not have the screws. That's about all I know. Anyone have any input? Thanks in advance.

I'm working on it...I'm workin on it. Baby steps. If I bring them in slowly, the girlfriend may not look at me so crazy.

Yea! Like I just did when someone offered to sell me his Marine Magnum for $800. I want one pretty bad, but I'm not gonna let myself pay these crazy prices. I did the same thing with the P220 I just bought. I could have easily spent $200+ more to have one right away, but I waited for the kind of deal I knew was out there.

All this talk about Mosin's is getting me a little excited. According the this UPS tracking number, My Mosin and ammo should be delivered tomorrow afternoon.

Congrats on the new HK.

I was wondering when someone was going to bring up this subject. I thought everyone had forgotten about it.

I just got done watching it. Not too bad. Lots of action to keep things moving. I thought the ending could have been a little better.

SIX years old? Amazing! VIDEO #1 VIDEO #2

Yes, a friend of mine purchased one (from Hero-Gear) not long ago. He loves it. I tried to shoot it, but being used to longer barrels, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. He is a much better shot with it. Makes a great muzzle flash when it's getting dark. He's still looking for a holster. Can't seem to find one. Fits well in his pocket, though.

That is great. Please let us know how that works out for you.

This is why I will start going to Academy and/or Dick's first. The 9mm I got from Academy was just a few cents higher than Wal-Mart, plus I don't have to fight the crowd.

You said a funny.

That is true. You do NOT have to tell the officer.
