Gunsmithing (no politics)
GarandMarine:
She's in pristine condition, no Cosmo even. The gun counter guy was mad cause if he'd seen it first he would have snagged her.
And now...
EVERY SURPLUS RIFLE WITH BOLT ACTION IS CHEAP SOME TIME IN HISTORY. MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE IS MOST NUMEROUS OF ALL INFANTRY RIFLE. IT IS RIFLE THAT WINS OCTOBER REVOLUTION. IT IS RIFLE THAT CARRIES INFANTRY OF ALLIED FORCES IN EUROPE THROUGH GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR. MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE SERVES FOR MORE THAN CENTURY, OLD STOLEN RUSSIAN RECEIVER IS STILL USE BY SNIPER OF FINNISH ARMY.
YOU CAN BE HAPPY WITH 40,000 ROUBLE RIFLE WITH NO HISTORY AND PLASTIC STOCK WHO KILLS PAPER TARGET AND DEER WITH NO WEAPON OR FIGHTING HEART.
I CAN BE HAPPY WITH 2,000 ROUBLE RIFLE THAT IS ARTIFACT OF MILITARY HISTORY AND KILLS TSARIST AND NAZI ALIKE.
JOY OF HAVING MOSIN NAGANT RIFLE IS JOY THAT MONEY CANNOT AFFORD.

Well if this is your first one, I strongly suggest you get a cheap and simple Lee Classic Loader kit (like $30) so you can drum up some handloads. All you need is a desk and a hammer. People mock the Mosin, but with decent loads instead of surplus steelies, I can take a 91/30 with Mojo sights to 600 yards any day, and 800 on a nice quiet day. Just remember that unless it's a finnish hex, it'll probably want .311 bullets and not the standard 30 cal .308.
GarandMarine:
I'll never mock the Mosin, the ghosts of Simo Hayha, Vasily Zaytsev and Lauri Turni would kill me in the night.
Speaking of, a fair and 100% balanced comparison between the glorious Nugget, the AR 15 and the AK.

Now that you're a disciple of the 54R, it's time to set up a cookie jar fund towards the big SVT
GarandMarine:
My next 54R is a PSL :P
