Not quite what I'd hoped for it has to be said! I managed to get off three rounds with the M44 which were still striking about 18 inches to the left at 100yds but time was short and I had to deal with something else so I've put it off for another day. The best things come to those who wait (apparently...) :lol:

Great looking Nagant and in real good condition too.Stand by for the flames... :D

Whatever the Russians use for blacking is obviously very good quality because i've never seen one in bad condition.

Hello , never fear, mine did the same. You will need to tap across the front sight post to zero it , so its not just yours.

Was the bayo IN or OUT ?

Heh - thanks, it's always good to know you're not the only one! I'd already tapped it across quite a way (you should have seen how wide it shot before!) and it looked to be pretty much 'on' with a laser boresight, so I was hoping to be a bit closer to POA this time out. Unfortunately as I mentioned I ended up with very little time so didn't manage any shots with the bayonet extended - I know it makes a difference although I still can't quite work out why! In a perfect world I'd like to get it shooting somewhere near POA with the bayonet folded as it's a bit more practical that way. :)
