Mosin Nagant

A bud has two, one shoots OK-ish, the other will dot an "i" at 200 yds. They often don't get the respect they deserve.

Amazing. She does look clean.

The spikes are my favorite, too. I have one for my SKS, but haven't installed it.

Ditto. What'd ya give for her?

I looked all over for evidence of use. I looked for scratches, gouges, wear where sliding parts come in contact, wear from safety being repeatedly engages, etc, and found nothing.

I actually prefer bladed bayonets, they are much more versatile.

$82.77. Not the cheapest ever deal, but pretty good for what looks like a new rifle.

I doubt that mine is a very accurate rifle, but I have not yet tried it.

Bore shiny, sharp, and perfect?

For use off the rifle, or what?

Damned good deal. Does the guy have any more like that? $80 for a decent, long-range, sniperable rifle is a pittance. They do take a lot of cleaning with that corrosive ammo, though.

Hell, Ig. If the barrel has a minor bend, and it shoots around corners, just set the scope to shoot around the same corner. No biggie.

It looks OK, it does seem shiny, but I am not sure about perfect.

For all kinds of uses

No, it was just one. I am not personally sure that the rifle can be easily fitted with optic sight. It has a round receiver.

Iggy, Many rifles have round receivers.... Drill & tap is the common procedure for putting mounts on these types of receivers.

For example, Mauser 98's are case hardened, and require a bit of spot annealing before you drill.

Easy for a qualified gunsmith, or even a decent machinist. Scope mount milled to match the receiver's radius, a few screw holes drilled and tapped.

I have a few mosin's and a few nagants.

The M44 is a beast, short and stubby, arsensal refinished.

A number of other M/N rifle types.

And three 1895 revolvers. One actually has a decent trigger believe it or not. I should shoot one someday.

So far I have English, French, Swiss, German, American, Russian, and Yugoslavian military firearms. Sure wish I had scored a bent bolt 6.5 Swede in the good days when they were cheap and easy to obtain but I wasn't into collecting then.

I may have missed a country or two. Austrian, I have some straight pulls, almost forgot. Forgot the two sporter type 99 arisaka's.

Today, not bad, a while back too much if you had a 03 ffl. If the condition is really good, just smile and enjoy a piece of your heritage. Lots of Nazi's didn't go home due to M/N rifles. American arms tend to be sports cars. Russion arms more like tractors. Both get a job done.

I personally admire American precision rifles. (say, Remington 700).

How about a long eye relief scope mounted on the rear sight base?

Down toward the bottom of the page he shows an M-N mount and some info about other makers.

Piece of cake for our newest CNCer, eh? Which one of youse guys is going to go hold his hand while he gets out the tiny, broken tap?

I added a scope to my other Mosin Nagant (Finnish M39). At the time I had no other tools, besides an electric drill. It worked out pretty well. I am not going to modify this rifle for the sake of adding a scope, I think that it would be somewhat insulting to the rifle.

I still do not think that adding a scope mount to a round receiver would work as well, though.

What, no Spaniards?

thousands, possibly millions of rifles with round receivers have successfully had scopes mounted over the last century. it's a very standard operation. All it takes is a base with the same curve, and a couple of holes drilled and tapped.
