Considering buying a Mosin

I love my Mosin, only thing I don't like is having to clean it with ammonia after shooting. I have a 1931 hex head, 91/30 also a M44, great little carbine. Love taking it to Camp Perry to use in the Vintage Rifle matchs, makes shooters next to me take notice thats for sure. The Mosin is a fine piece of history, that is readily available, inexpensive and fairly accurate. In answer to your question as to whats the difference between a reg. 91/30 and a sniper, is the sniper comes with a scope attachement and scope. The bolt handle is bent down to accomadate the scope. The scope itself is a three recticle little number. Personally, I love these kinds of scopes. When your buying a sniper rifle your buying the scope, and different bolt. As far as I know thats the only difference. If anyone knows something different, I'd love to know.

 

Well you have heard what everyone has said, so quit considering & get you one, will be one of the best $150.00 bucks you will ever spend on a firearm..............

 

you better know what you are buying if you buy a "sniper" they are so faked you can't believe it. look to gunboards.com for the most knowledgeable info on the subject.

 

DAMN YOU MOSIN PEOPLE!!!! QUIT SPREADING THE MOSINITUS!!!!
I wanna trade one of my Arisakas for a M39

Just the thought makes me wanna commit Seppiku on a Type 30 bayonet....

(Not really, thats just silly... )

 

It's listed under humor but it really sums up the Mosin. Enjoy your "new" Mosin. They can be addictive.

I shouldn't have read that at the office. My boss just called me in to discuss my internet use. Maybe I shouldn't have laughed so hard

 

A mosin nagant is a fun gun. Should it be your only gun? not no but hell no!

 

Actually, I could live with my M44 being my only rifle.

Sure would miss those 22s, though.

 

I couldn't live with it being my only rifle cause I can't shoot it. Its ridiculous

 

thanx

Ihad this once and I lost it, never to be found again until today. I'm LMFAO yet again at the simplicity of these verses. Thanks for the memory.

 

i don't know about the longer bolt handle on the sniper, but a useful piece of range equipment when shooting other mosins with some of the lacquered ammo out there is a rawhide mallet.

i have a few and find the m44's the handiest, but prefer the finn m39.

 

Just keep the chamber clean.
