1925 Mosin Nagant 91/30

Another nice one !

Thanks.I do prefer my 1944 K98 though simply because its so accurate.

I have restored this one-took an eye watering 17 coats of BLO,but it did look like an old fence post when i got it. :lol:

Nice - as do i.

My byf 43 low turret sniper with Zeiss Zielsech - shoots out to 1000 (except today at the range ahem)
My 1935 S/42G a code that I surfed up and down for due to being the year the k98 was accepted into the German army

And my ww1 Gewehr 98 1915 Amberg - the mausers are my best iron sighters followed 2nd by SMLE and P17

Thanks - I promised myself that I would never let it go !!



i will be shameful and plug one of my videos with it, showing how well it groups with a crap shooter (me) behind it.

Yep original calibre etc.I really enjoy shooting it,but curiously it prefers old milsurp ammo and the rougher looking the better.I once had some old WW2 machine gun rounds (you could see the link marks on the cases) and this stuff was so dirty and greasy,but it was the most accurate ammo i've ever stuck through it.FNM ammo isnt too good while Privi is better,but they both pale in comparison to that particular milsurp.

Bang on smae with me - this machine gun stuff I use as well, does it have a star on the headstamp, if so its Yugoslavian M53 machinegun ammo (Yugo MG42), this stuff is greasy, but it shoots so well !

Cant remember what they were stamped with,but your hands literally were dirty after handling them and i must confess i didnt bother cleaning them before using.I have some more milsurp upstairs dated 1954 which i got from C&G,but this isnt quite as good as the machine gun rounds.

Thinking about machine gun rounds-i had some heavy ball ammo for my Nagant once...and i mean once.The damn stuff was rattling teeth out of my gums with the horendous recoil.

That heavyball sounds like Yellow tip copperwash ? I had some too , alot of czech yellowtip / silvertip was around. The silver tip was among the best milsurp stuff I used in my ruskies

Yes it was copperwashed,but the thing with Russian/Czech ammo is the coloured tips are not consistent to identify its type.I checked the tips were all same colour (they were sold loose in a bag to me),but one single round i sent down range was a tracer...which we're not allowed on our range.Plus like i said previously they were shaking my teeth out plus i needed a piece of 4x2 to cycle the bolt.
