That list is a hell of a lot funnier now that I actually have a Nagant.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Especially the parts about the recoil. My shoulder still is sore from Tuesday.

Surplus ammo is the way to go I think with these guns, esp right now. its fairly cheap, you can get it as low as 15 cents a bullet. I would recommend anything in a can, but I would make sure to caution to check every bullet before firing. I have seen a few I've pulled from a can that could be down right dangerous to shoot.

Huh? That doesn't seem right. My groups were pretty wide at 100yd, but that was my bad, not the gun's. Between not being used to iron sights and the fact that it shoots a foot high at 100yd, I was doing good to maintain an eight inch group. I know I can tighten that up though.

Yeah 50 meters what the funk? Mine's good to at least 500... Sure I can't print 10" groups that far out, but you can definitely hear it when you hit the big gong that far out. Well, if it didn't punch through that is.
Maybe the guy just didn't know how to adjust his iron sights...

Speaking of sight adjustment, I ran across a quick fix for my low site post last night that I may leave as a permanent fix: I just slid a short chunk of black plastic insulation from some 12ga wire over the post. It made the post a hair wider (which I like) and took all of a minute to do (which I really like).

I had it out at the range today, and I do believe I have it fixed. 2.5" group 2" low at 50yd. That's pretty damn good for me and iron sights.

Yeah, that was just way to easy of a fix. I think I am just going to leave it. As for the addiction, yes, I think I've got it. My right shoulder isn't gonna feel right for weeks.
Surprise bonus: I talked to my dad tonight, and he somehow got a hold of a cherry 1903A3 Springfield .30-06 for cheap (customized by a professional sharpshooter), and as soon as I make it back to Nebraska it's all mine! Woooo!

I found at the Gander Mtn about an hour west of here had about 5 M44 carbines on the rack for 99 bucks each. I used a 10 dollar off coupon and got mine for 94 bucks out the door. The one I picked out looks great...great stock, great finish, and good bore. Lots of cosmoline all over it (until I cleaned it at home). My dad bought one at the same time as well since it was a good deal considering the condition of the guns.

Foggy, I used to like you, but now with the 03A3 in the mix....not so much...., I'd love a 03A3, but working versions are getting scarce and EXPENSIVE!!! Good score!
Nova, good score! It's funny, I was in Gander Mt here on tuesday and they had a rack of 5 M44's but they wanted $150 each. WAAAAY too much.
Those short barrel Mosins belch a LOT of fire!

Yeah, I was slightly surprised myself. "You got a what? For how much? And you want to just give it to me!? Whoa, thanks!".
If you are looking for a M44, Big 5 on Parker & Illif had another three or four sitting there. I didn't check the price, but I doubt they were that high.

Seriously, Fog... The Nagant was DESIGNED to be fired with the bayonet on, and it DOES fire better with it.
It's the old (1890's) Russian Army way of putting spikes on EVERYTHING.
Also, it's already been mentioned once, but http://7.62x54r.net/ is a GREAT resource for Nagant info.
Especially the Mosin Nagant Rifle Model Identification Guide.

Seriously though, use the bayonet, buy cheaper ammo (50 cents a shot? I'd be insulted to be charged that much), get a buttpad, and have fun with your rifle.

Granted, he's talking about the M44 (short barrel Nagant), but.... :lol:
