Topic: Does anyone here own a Mosin-Nagant?

Nexus !jNexusRe/. started this discussion 15 years ago #14,026

I am thinking of buying a 91/30 or an M44. Does anybody have any experience with these rifles? If so, any tips or advice on finding one that hasn't had the dog shit shot out of it?
I know this probably isn't the place to ask about firearms but I figure someone might own one of these here, seeing as how common they have become.

buy a gun that you didn't see in a video game.

I am not buying because of a video game. I am buying one because they are extremely cheap.

If you want a video game gun, you might as well go all the way and try to attach a chainsaw to a machine gun.

Why do you want one other then it being cheap?

Even if you put price aside, it is a very well built rifle. Parts are plentiful, as well as the ammunition. The more I research it, the more attractive the rifle becomes.

So just as a toy?

If the shit is going to hit the fan, I want a rifle that is going to last. Don't blame me for being a forward thinker.

Ok, zombies are unrealistic, but a scenario like the 1992 LA Riots isn't very far-fetched.

A firearm is not a toy.

I can see owning a gun being like owning a car, you'd want all parts easily available and you'd want it easy to run. Plus, on World at War, the mosin Nagant is a head shot machine.

It is common sense. However, like I said before, price and reliability are a very big factor. There is a reason why this rifle was produced from 1891 to the early 1970's.

Don't say that, bro. It'll be the doubters that go first when the dead rise.

I've never owned one (I'm an AK-47 guy myself) but I have heard they are pretty good weapons. Rifles like that were built well and if the price is right and parts are plentiful I say go for it.

No, I don't think. I'm not exactly sure what the one I owned was. I bought it from a "friend." Really cheap. Those rifles are fucking perfect. They never ever jammed. I've had M-16's jam everytime I have ever fired one but the AK was always reliable. The only thing that sucked was that the barrel would heat up very easily. Other than that it was flawless.

How much did you pay?

They're very good and rarely ever jam. However, the recoil will knock you into next week.

Couple hundred. I got 1,000 rds of ammo, a couple 20 round clips and a couple 30 round clips.

No. A guy wanted to get rid of it because his girlfriend didn't want him to have it. Beta as fuck. Worked out for me.

Oh! Well it is a nice find none the less. I never have the money when a good deal like that comes around.

It was all luck and timing. I'm usually one that hears about deals like that after the fact.
