I understand. You just play one on the internet.

Scroll down to see pictures. Looks like it's in good shape. Can't wait to get it. Talked him out of
the shipping charges.

Wouldn't you be concerned about all of the innocent russian soldiers
this rifle may have killed ;-)


Rifle was made during WWII in the Urals, more likely used to kill German
soldiers. Pretty common rifle, not collector quality.

That green eyed monster comes through every time, Harry.


Say what? Why would I want that rifle? It's not nearly as pretty as the
100-year-old Swedish Mausers I like. And I'm not a sniper wannabe.

Then why build an AR with the finest available components along with a high dollar optical aid?

Sniper rifles have scopes.

BTW Harry, The Russian Mosin was a superior rifle to even the Swedish Mauser, And the Finnish Mosin was superior to the Russian.

Then again, the Swede models today are probably in better shape than the Mosin's. After all, the Swedes never were in a real war since 1814.


1. So I can shoot tight groups.

2. I'm not sure what you mean by "superior." The Swedish Mauser is a
better looking rifle than the Mosin, is lighter, shorter, has far less
recoil. It's certainly not a really long distance sniper rifle but,
then, I'm not a sniper.

Harry, is your Swedish Mauser the rifle or carbine. The Swedish Mauser and the Mosin Nagant rifles both weigh in at 8.8 lbs vs the Swedish Mauser carbine which comes in at 7.5 lbs. I am just curious.

Ahh, but I didn't get an AR15 because it was beautiful or collectible.

[i'll comment on the next lines...]

I
got it because it was reliable, a good shooter, easy to customize, and
easy to carry. I'm shooting 1-1/2" groups at 100 yards now with ordinary
Wolf Gold ammo.

Sounds just like a decent Mosin to me....


All the advantages of a Mosin without the 10 pound carry weight, 4'
length, and slow bolt action!

Yup, those pop bottles are dangerous sommiches and you need to be able
to get off a quick follow up shot if they turn and charge you.

Our range frowns on "rapid fire" defined as 2 seconds between shots.
Oswald did better than that with a nasty ass Carcano


Nah. I don't miss on the first shot, but sometimes the pop bottle next
to it tries to attack. Oh, I shoot paper targets, too, and "gongs."

What are you shooting? Manatees?


The only critters I have shot in the last 40 years or so were a few
rats and a ****load of those pesky skeets.


The indoor range I like has no 2 second rule.


The range here is outside but I assume they are trying to make a more
pleasant experience for serious shooters. You don't want to be in the
lane next to a guy doing magazine dumps with an assault rifle.

Some times I will do a double tap and nobody has said anything about
it but I only do it if I am a few lanes down from the nearest other
shooter.

Oh, and I don't dislike bolt action rifles. But the 1894 Swedish Mauser
I like is about 36" long and weights a smidgen over seven pounds.
Remember, I like lever action rifles, too. But not "oversized, heavy" ones.



If it is really noisy at the range, I wear ear plugs and muffs. I tried
someone's "electronic" muffs, forgot the brand name, but was not impressed.
