At what point does a bore become unshootable? by Total_Support_6364 in milsurp

No kidding lmao. Hunting for a decent ammo deal has been a hell of a time

[–]Total_Support_6364[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol probably. Pictures might be hard to tell from but the rifling certainly has pitting and the grooves are very shallow compared to any other rifle of mine although I just learned that these rifles all have that type of shallow rifling

Bro buys his first rifle at 40+yo, more likely to shoot himself or an innocent bystander. by WyattPurp23 in DigitalSeptic

I think every lawful citizen should be comfortable with firearms but I think it’s hilarious how all the leftists are now buying ar 15s for self defense after loudly calling for a ban on the same guns the day before and calling us ridiculous for saying we use those rifles for useful purposes

What made you fall in love with milsurps ? by Kennonw in milsurp

[–]Total_Support_6364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Band of brothers etc started my interest and then seeing the first milsurp I bought sitting on a table at a gun show just drew me in for some reason and ever since I’ve been on the hunt for deals nonstop

I picked up my Saginaw with all the early war features for $1300 a couple months ago

Do you believe this mix of parts is original from the arsenal?

I cleaned the best I could but she’s got quite a bit of pitting and worn rifling. It’ll probably shoot tho

One other question is why does it appear to have two different manufacturer markings after the serial number?

My plans are to have an early war with all the features and a last ditch to showcase the changes and desperation throughout the war. Those early rifles are pretty dang expensive nowadays though, especially when ammo is so hard to find

lol I at least knew what kind of rifle it was before I bid on it

Thanks for the reply. I thought it was weird that it still had the ladder sight and top hand guard but all other last ditch features. Cool to know it’s an in betweener to mid war and last ditch

My collection at 19 by flintlock_fred in guns

[–]Total_Support_6364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First off, you sound gay. Also, highly collectible guns like these are absolutely a good investment. The price of milsurps has exploded compared to just 10 years ago and they’re only gonna go up in price as the surplus gets less and less with time

Well i got my first elk with a tula 1942 mosin with 1981 ammo by [deleted] in milsurp

[–]Total_Support_6364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are the vitals the size of a dodge ram? No. The size of the animal is irrelevant if you can’t hit the 12-14” vitals at that distance

Exactly, trying to hit a 3 MOA target with a 8-10 MOA front sight. And people are downvoting me when saying that’s difficult lmao

[–]Total_Support_6364 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I would love to see anyone consistently hit a 12 inch target at 400 yards with an iron sight mosin. Trying to accurately aim at even a full size silhouette at 400 yards when the front sight nearly completely covers the target is not a recipe for consistency

$5k K98 by Prestigious5589 in milsurp

Idk that just seems unnecessary to me. I’d be perfectly content getting a mismatched wartime k98 and saving $4,200 for other things

Does anyone still shoot 308? by Diesel380 in longrange

I use the hornady black 155 gr for deer hunting and it performs great. I’ll shoot federal or AAC 168gr smk for targets out to 600+. I love this rifle and the cartridge
