vf1000ride Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 The Mosin humor website is a gas. I had seen that a long time ago and their comparisons are pretty accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I was only there once and didn't come away impressed. The staff were assholes, there prices are ok but not that good. Just find it funny that they think it is ok to rip people off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrewsBrews Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I've got an m44. and amazingly it's actually got a butter smooth bolt. no hammering needed.When folks at the private plinking range get too complacent with their ARs I whip out the mosin and blow the targets off the line with backstop debris. That, and the concussion that it lets out has everyone scurrying away from the firing line.If I have one suggestion it would be get a carbine version like the m44. The long barrel ones feel like you are holging up 300lb. And, well another suggestion... don't fire it bench rest. much pain can be had from that steel but plate.

I also know they make a rubber butt pad to help with the recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 The corrosive ammo has me hesitating a bit, is it really a big deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carwhore Posted January 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 The corrosive ammo has me hesitating a bit, is it really a big deal?from what I'm seeing as long as you inspect the barrell and make sure there aren't any pits and the rifling is good you should be fine.YOU HAVE TO CLEAN IT RIGHT AWAY once you go shooting. Don't let it sit in the safe for a few days-week-month! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have a m91 I've always used romainian surplus corosive ammo in it with no problems...to clean I put a cork in the end of the barrel fill it with amonia let it sit for a couple min drain and swab it out and finish it off with a generous shot of gun oil...plus if u are going to shoot it regularly I recomend the ATI sport stock for it either that or a ice bag for your sholder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radio Flyer Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 My favorite gun to shoot is my roommates Mosin. He's done a few things to his. Scope, polished bolt, raised cheek pad cut from the stock. You definitely will get a wide range of quality of ammo when ordering. We had two different batches of ammo one time at the range. You could get some groups damn near touching each other at 100yds with one batch and then you could have a 3" spread with the other box.Very fun rifle to shoot and at $80 you can't go wrong.
