The firearm thread

If you're after WW2 era weapons and are just getting into it andwant something cheap, look into a Mosin-Nagant, 7.62x54R Russian service rifle designed in 1891 and used till 1950.

Can get them for $250-300 still in their cold war storage grease.

Yea, thought of Mosin Nagants, and seen them on trademe. They're nice, but I'd still be curious about an Arisaka if one showed up. Whats with the weird cartridge on the Nagant? Similar behavior to a X39?

Much longer case 54mm as oppoised to 39mm

Performance more like a .303 or 8x57 or 30-06 than that pipsqueak 7.62x39

a genuine samurai sword that had been kept by the Japanese troops.

A few years ago there was a group of Japanese going around buying up any of these that they could get their hands on. "To be returned to their home country" of course.

2 Weihrauch .44 Mag single action revolvers
2 Uberti 58 Remmies, antiqued (means no blueing), .44 cap and ball
1 Margolin MUM .22 semi auto with barrel threaded for a genltemans accessory

The Margolin's a beaut. If I had my pistol licence, and the money, I'd snap it up - after getting the Bess.

Sorry to hear you're thinning the collection, Chris.

Found the old wooden stock for the SKS the other week, will give it a bit of a tidy and put it back on the SKS - anyone with an SKS and an E-endorsement want to buy a hole-through target stock?

Will have to sight your licence and permits, of course, can't go around supplying vicious-looking stocks to just anyone.

It is a shame. But I've put my hand up if he decides to sell the M1

Although some of these kids do seem a little young to be using guns, this reporter seems a little misguided. He just tried to say that an ar15 a girl was using was "an air cooled semi automatic assualt rifle currently used by US special forces in Afghanistan". Biased and incorrect much?

Even if it were true, does it matter?

I use the pinnacle of 19th century military technology.

A Breech loading firearm capable of discharging 10 shots in less then a minute using a bolt!

My God!

technology changes....

He was trying (using false information) to say how much overkill it is to have a kid on a rifle like that. More of the "omg it looks scary" type of thing. An AR15 is no more dangerous than the average semi auto 308 hunting rifle, but because it (hunting rifle) looks more mellow it wouldn't get the same reaction? Well thats the point I was making

I got what you were trying to say.

But trying to tell those muppets that is like talking to a brickwall.

I wouldn't let it worry you lol

We have bigger fish to fry my lad!

It's not like I could afford an Ar15, anyhow
Hey, the only Mosin Nagants I see on trademe are 750 and 900... $300 you say?

I saw that $750 one.

He's fucking dreaming.

Serious Shooters has them for $300 I believe.

Reloaders might of sold out by now, but they normally get them in once in a while.

I got my 91/30 from them for $250

So I'm assuming that 91/30 is for the 1891-1930 model?

Yep, the 'revamp' done in 1930.

You're onto it.

I also own the M44 carbine with the fold out bayonet.
