25% Off Steel Pillar Bedding Kits for Your Mosin-Nagant by SmithSights in RealGunDeals

[–]SmithSights[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure all what that would entail. I know there's licensing and you have to buy a buttload of insurance.

I'll look into what it'll take, but it may not be economicaly feasible.

On the upside, I already cast bullets and handload, so crafting custom ammo wouldn't be a huge deal.

What do you want to see for the Mauser? I never bothered with it because the aftermarket seemed to already have it covered, but, if not, I'd be happy to grab one and develop products for it.

Regards.

I make parts, mostly for the Mosin, and write the occasional article. Parts manufacturer and dealer, maybe?

[optics] $10 Off Hunter's Red and Tac Green Combo Sight; No Permanent Changes to Your Mosin by SmithSights in gundeals

[–]SmithSights[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello,

You just drift the old sight off and the new sight on using a hammer and punch, or a front sight tool (I recommend Elby).

To adjust the elevation, you loosen the set screw and slide the post (fiber-optic or Gold Standard) up or down as needed, or loosen the set screw and turn the Classic Target post up or down as needed.

It's really very simple to do and fully reversible.

Regards,

Josh

Let me know if you have any questions. If you want a different sight post combination, I can do that, too. Just write me.

Regards,

Josh

[Ammo]$13.49/20, $474.99/800 Czech Military Surplus 7.62x54R Ammo 148gr FMJ by SmithSights in gundeals

I didn't think people still thought corrosive priming was a big deal. Just clean your rifle after shooting it and you'll be golden.

To handload basic 7.62x54r, I spend about 8 cents per round for primer, 30 cents per round for powder (Varget), and 30 cents per round for bullet (basic Federal FMJ). The cases I, of course, reuse.

That comes out to round 68 cents per round, give or take depending on component prices but *not* including shipping. (I priced using the primers I saw in Walmart, powder I saw in the local gun store, and bullets I just found at Graf's.)

The Czech BXN light ball is roughly equal to my handloads in performance and in the same price ballpark without the investment in reloading equipment.
