and I'm in love. A little different flavor than the black and silver guns I've got laying around... it's a 1943 Izhevsk M91/30, all matching serials and goodies except for a sling or carrying pouch. Bore slugs at .312-.313... Probably run some bulk Prvi .311" pills through her once I get set up for rifle reloading.

Looks like something really fun and interesting to play with. Nice job. I hear they kick.

Congratulations! Everyone should have at least one, IMO.

Congrats, definitely a change in scenery.

[Davidjlittle]

I need to get one...

 

[5L1mm]

they're cheap enough. do it.

 

[Redneck Geek]

Nice. My son has one and they are really fun to shoot.

Everyone should have at least one and a few spam cans hanging around.

I reckon I need another. And more ammo...

 

[rharp]

Taylor, where did you pick it up? I'm in the Wichita area and have been looking here and there for one. Seems like the ones that I can find for $100-150 are in rough shape. And what does ammo run for these nowadays?

Don't we all?

Well took her to the range this afternoon after a rainout at the jobsite... this thing really does kick like a mule. Once I got used to the irons and knew where to hold it, I hit a 4" grouping in 3 shots at 50 yards. Doesn't sound like much, but for a guy used to 12x optics and 3.5# crisp trigger pulls, I'll mark it down as a victory in my book.

Doubt I'll be reloading for it as I probably won't shoot it often, but it's a cool piece of history to me. Of all the wars, World War II is my favorite to study, followed very closely by the Civil War... I think I'll just stick to WWII - doubt I'll be getting a smoothbore musket any time soon

 

[DevJames]

Ha. They're not known for accuracy anyway!

So I should have one next to the SKS? My local just got some in and I was thinking about it just because.

 

[Odomxd]

I'm thinking of picking up another to turn project on.....The Promag stocks look intruguing. Anyone done one yet?

If you can get a C&R license. They are good for three(?) years and will pay for itself when you can buy them online and have 'em shipped right to your door. I reckon that I've saved at least $150 on transfer fees since I got mine, and I haven't the income to buy as much as I'd like.

I bought a 1938 91/30 from aim surplus on my c&r for $140 shipped and it looks immaculate... bore is amazing. The kick isn't that bad... a type53 is worse.
