Livefast123 Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I finally picked up my Mosin Nagant M44 this morning from Rifleman Firearms near Taunton and I' m like a cat that got the cream! The Mosin was manufactured in 1945 at the Izhevsk Arsenal in Russia making it considerable older than it's owner. The bore is in great shape and is a lovely shiny silver so I can't wait to get down the range and shoot it now. Thanks to PW member Tony1 for an easy deal.

Underdog Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 A very underestimated rifle and cartridge. Looks tidy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imperfection Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I've got one too,but its a 1934 91/30. They're a comedy gun which always put a smile on your face or maybe its the recoil which damages nerves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reggiegun Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 Get some photo's of the fire flash out of the barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I've seen a few guys almost in tears holding their shoulder. I'd love one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livefast123 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) I'm a glutton for punishment......or maybe I should import a rubber 'wimp' pad from the States. The cartridge size is certainly rather large compared to the rifle. I think mother Russia designed it to kill in 3 ways, shoot, bayonet and bludgeon......it is built from finest T 34 steel comrade!

reggiegun Posted January 30, 2016 Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 I'm a glutton for punishment......or maybe I should import a rubber 'wimp' pad from the States Was a guy at PW rifle meet last year with one, man he could shoot it good. We had some photo's of the fire flash from the end, it was amazing. He was Neil's mate from rack and load. Just for you. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fXGPajmCgsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Livefast123 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2016 It's a pity that the PW shoot us right in the middle of my set of shifts otherwise I would have come. What we really want is some tracer.... Underdog - may need the Sunday Times plus magazines at this rate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveveets Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Snap! I've got a 1945 M44 too. Great fun on the range and suprisingly accurate at 200yds even with iron sights. Enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
