Just Order Some Mosin Ammo

[SourwoodJD]

Just order a case (880 rds) of 7.62x54r 148gr russian for my Mosin 91/30.

$ 158.69 shipped

from The Armory

They were the cheapest I could find

How'd I do ?

Mods: If this is the wrong place please move Thanks

if it was the cheapest you could find I would say you did good.

[Garufa]

That is an excellent price.

[NRA]

cheapest I ever found/bought was 70.00 for 440 rounds so not bad at all

[SourwoodJD]

Cool Deal.

I'm anxious to see how this thing shoots.

They're interesting old rifles and pieces of history.

I can see how one could be addicted to buying more .

expect some tough bolt action and it will kick like a mule. after a good boiling water bath and a good lube with Tetra it was better, IMO. It does break down easy for cleaning.

BTW remember it is corrosive ammo

If it is a "new" one thoroughly clean the cosmo off of it, most importantly the chamber. Take the stock if if you like...be careful taking the front band off so as to not scratch up the handguard. Actually, the cosmo can stay down in the works forever but people make a big deal out of removing it.

Clean the chamber out well with some Hoppes and a .45 cal brush. That will help avoid, but may not totally prevent, sticky-bolt. That will go away after numerous shootings/cleanings anyway.

my trigger felt better before I decided it would be a good idea to get the cosmoline out of the working of it. I would definitely not mess with that if I had it to do over.

hum just the opposite here

good price.most places get $80 a tin + shipping

[JeffL]

Not a bad price at all. AIM Surplus is about $167 shipped. I'd order from them just because I've used them in the past and they're a trusted vendor.

[SourwoodJD]

Thanks for the advice guys!

I got the mosin used so somebody had already had the pleasure of de-cosmoling it .

The trigger is not too bad, its long and heavy but not to creepy.

The back of the bolt(cocking/safety knob) goes down slighty when pulling the trigger before it fires.

Is this normal ?

Its a m91/30 stamped 1939 , Izhevsk with a round receiver.

Finish is pretty much nonexistent.

Not a collectors prize but its still a cool rifle.

I was wondering about the recoil, sounds like what I was expecting.

[dou44]

southern ohio guns will have a big sale in nov ,i have bought alot from them and aim and both are good .

If you're going to shoot it a lot there is nothing unmanly about the Nancy Pad....Amazon.com: M44 Mosin Nagant Rubber Recoil Butt Pad: Sports & Outdoors (says M44 but fits 91/30 also).

[Mike.357]

hum just the opposite here

I think all the goo in the trigger mechanism made it feel smoother, it was always a suprise when it decided to go bang.

[Mike.357]

and + 1 on the Nancy pad, it is a must have and does not look dorkey like a slip on pad does.

[SourwoodJD]

Got the ammo Sat.(it came Friday but i wasn't home). Went out and shot 20rds.

The old thing shoots pretty good. Gonna have to do something to the front sight. It was about 5in high at 25yds and about a foot or more at 100yds. Recoil was not as bad as I thought but That nancy pad looks like the shines.

All in all a cool rifle !

[Guest spoolie]

We have it in stock...I'm looking at 6 tins right now in the floor.

That's normal for a Mosin

[Garufa]

That's normal for a Mosin

Actually, it's not. At least in my case.

At 125 yards with bayonet attached, rear sight adjusted to about 250 meters, I can put every shot into an 8" target. I'm talking up to 40-50 rounds with a little cool-down time between strings.

Benched.

[Guest HvyMtl]

Remember, the sights are set for the bayonet on the rifle. So it should shoot high without the bayonet on the rifle.

Enjoy the rifle. It is fun to shoot. If you really like it, start looking for additional Mosin (yes, they are like Lay's Potato Chips, no one can have just one!) I suggest the carbine length for easier toting, and more noise and show (due to the short barrel.) Look for Finnish models if you want collectable or even higher accuracy.

Again, enjoy!
