The closeup of the bayonet is good stuff. The round is like a .308 super.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

heck the 308 is just a short '06!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

read my previous article too

Trish_Pantscotti ago

Oh, I will.

I'm itching to make a new rifle purchase but I need to figure out what I want. I've always previously skipped that part. The 223/556 platform is so versatile and affordable for any kind of regular shooting that it's my starting point. I might just build the fucker myself, we'll see. I might just rebuild my current AR.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

oh man

i can help you spend way too much time thinking

Trish_Pantscotti ago

Thanks, expect some dialogue. These colder months are rifle-shooting time! I'm going to renew my club membership!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

ya i specifically stick around to chat

its in the title

these are guns i like lol

thedirtypuma ago

I can't mod you here cause you have 10 subverses that you are already modding.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

ok i fixed that

thedirtypuma ago

Sorry for showing up so late. I always thought it was interesting how they didn't make a special sniper version of the mosin; they just used the most accurate of the bunch and stuck a scope on it.

I bought one for a hundred dollars and spent another hundred on a spam can of 440 rds back in the day.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

heck ya

and those 440rds hit hard too

ExpertShitposter ago

Think the 7.62x54r now officially holds the record for the longest service life of all. The biggest problem with the rim is double stacked magazines. Previously, everyone was making single stacks so it wasn't a big deal. When the SVT Dragunov came around, they apparently spent an entire year prototyping its double stack mag before they got a design that works 100% reliably. And it still holds only 10, while looking like it should be 15. On the flip side, it is considered "inherently" accurate due to repeatable head-spacing off the rim, that results in repeatable rifling engagement.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

thats pretty cool i hadnt heard that about the dragunov

im gonna check it out

Nadeshda ago

I just want to take the opportunity to say thank you @clamhurt_legbeard for sharing your knowledge with us here. Truly every time I learn something new that is fun and exciting too!

Thank you so much for this!

clamhurt_legbeard ago

i like a lot of guns

youre gonna hear a lot lol

Nadeshda ago

Nice, I have a broad appreciative happy smile going on over here... please know this...

clamhurt_legbeard ago

Such a cute photo!

I love Mosins. I have been collecting them for a couple of years. I have four right now. I am currently looking for a hex barrel and a pre 1940 long barrel.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

oh nice

my dad eventually started copying me and my gun purchases

he got a hex receiver 91/30

what are the 4 you have

i have a 1944 m38 and a 1943 m91/30

DillHoleBagHands ago

1936 91/30 converted to an Archangel stock. The original stock was water damaged and cracked. Was not really safe for shooting. The pre1940 metal work is night and day with these rifles. The closer you get to 1945, the sloppier the metal work looks.

1942 M38 no bayonet. My favorite out of the pack. Kicks like a mule and hits dead on everytime.

1943 91/30. This one is my second favorite. Poor old girl is battle hardend. Multiple retooling marks and some done by some old Ruskie.

1945 M38 with bayonet "The Problemed Child". Shoots about 6 inches low and I have no clue why. I think the rifling is shot.

It is an addiction now. Classic Firearms got in a new shipment of Mosins today and it was hard for me to not order any.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

for the shorty with the bayonet

have you tried sighting it in with the bayonet out

DillHoleBagHands ago

I have not. I have only had it out once. Baynot out nakes that much of a difference?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

theyre sighted in with the bayonet out

so deffo might bring it in

DillHoleBagHands ago

Hmmmmm worth a shot I suppose.

btw I own v/MosinNagant if you are interested. Sadly not much there.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

oh cooooool

maybe i can adds some stuff

DillHoleBagHands ago

I would appreciate it. I have a couple of other pages slide because I don't have the time anymore.

i_scream_trucks ago

clamhurt_legbeard ago

TheBuddha ago

The Nugget. Didn't click, by the way. I'm very familiar with this rifle already. Some of them aren't bad, but they were banged together by Russian peasant women.

I avoid almost all online firearm discussions. People are, shall we say, a bit more opinionated than I care to deal with, with this subject.

Nadeshda ago

I hear you Sir and I agree it' tough sometimes to have good conversations here. You are exception to that rule though. Have a beautiful day!

TheBuddha ago

LOL You're on today's to-do list!

I'm using a pretty fancy to-do list software app that I kinda sorta edited to make suit my purposes. You're on it! "email nadeshda" is the most recent item on the list.

I just haven't gotten there yet. ;-)

I did my guitar practice and completed 1.5 hours of PT (in 45 minute chunks). I'll probably only do three hours worth of PT today. It's largely up to me, but they're suggesting I take it easy for a few days, 'cause I have some radiant knee pain and they don't want to aggravate that further.

Did I tell ya that I took three steps?!? I did, too! I'm pretty damned proud of that. They were extremely difficult, but I did it. That's like weeks and weeks ahead of schedule!

Ol' Buddha's gonna buck the odds and make a complete recovery. I can tell! I can even lift my leg up to put it into the bed. I normally (since the injury) either lift it with my hands, get assistance to lift it, or loop the right leg under the left leg and lift with that. However, I'm now able to lift it up on its own power and sort of throw it at the bed. It's awkward, but I'm pretty damned pleased with it.

Nadeshda ago

Wow oh wow!!! You took 3 steps? That is awesome news!!! Best day ever! I am so proud of you Sir! You are such an inspiration to me! You have to know though that somedays you plum make me feel terrible, but only because I get depressed that I can't seem to get around to do everything I want to do. :/

Oh you, your news makes my heart glad!

I just logged in to see @Rotteuxx Book binding project, not sure if you saw it, pretty cool.

Forgive me as I have been having really weird days lately. I think the weather, environment and stuff just driving away at my mood and temperament.

Anyway let me not get stuck here, even though I could speak to you for hours... I gotta stay focused or I am going to do my head in; I have been having horrible thoughts like plum disappearing from Voat and everything online and going completely dark as I constantly seem to let people down including myself and I am pretty sick of it... :(

Egh... this too will pass... I am not too worried as I have this annoying habit of bouncing back, anyways have a beautiful day Sir!

TheBuddha ago

I shall, at some point today, send you an email. Vamoose! I shall see you there.

freedumbz ago

Ah yiss moist nuggets. I love me a moist nugget. I have one too and love it. It shoots the accurate and I can use it to impale upstanding members of the African community when they visit me through my bedroom window.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

what model do you have

m44

freedumbz ago

Plain ol 91/30. I like me a classic gun.

clamhurt_legbeard ago

true stuff

my 91/30 is in better condition than my m38

but i think the m38 is more practical

so handy

Battlefat ago

All hail Bubba Mosin...seriously though, great job

clamhurt_legbeard ago

Nadeshda ago

Oh geez I love this! Sexy rim bullet and feeder business and overall a nice looking rifle!

drakesdoom2 ago

Original rifles with fixed bayonet are indeed over six foot long stock to bayonet point.

Nadeshda ago

That’s something! I love the idea of it but would need to practice walking with a spear like rifle on my back. I wonder how heavy?

clamhurt_legbeard ago

around 9 lbs

or a little over 4 kg

Nadeshda ago

Not bad... easy enough, a healthy new born weight...
