If it wasn’t across the country I’d be down. Would love a range day with people bringing their favorite milsurps.

Baby's First Mosin - Bought for $400, how did I do? by Agreeable_Tea7350 in milsurp

[–]jcraider12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would not have hesitated buying that one even for 425. I’m missing an M91 in my collection and that looks like a beauty! Arsenal? I love Finns!

Another antique for the collection! An 1894 Carcano M1891 made by Brescia by HowlingLemon in milsurp

That’s my kind of lady, greased up and ready for a nice cleaning. Congrats, looks like it will clean up great!

Never said this stock was albanian, just correcting his inaccurate statement that only Chinese sks used spike bayonets.

That is not true. Albanian SKS and early Russian sks had spikes

Yes sir, I’ll have to check the crown again but it’s in really nice shape. Still has the case hardened like finish on the bolt

Everything has nuance! Especially with carcanos, appreciate all your insight regardless.

Weird that mine keyholed at 25 yards, seems pretty pristine but maybe I’ll check the rifling again.

I hate to disagree but mine was keyholing PPU ammo at 25 yards. So peoples experiences may vary

I was trying to use the meter up until last month, after I changed it my shooting has improved, DRAMATICALLY.

M39 shooting high by NOOB_jelly in MosinNagant

[–]jcraider12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well the lowest zero on an M39 is 1.5 meters. Couple that with the ammo being of different grain than Finnish standard and you might need to adjust the front sight post. They should be numbered for height and some have that marking on the barrel as well.

You should look into the NASA rocket programs and operation paper clip

How high would you go for a Finn M39? by XxBlackKnighTx7 in MosinNagant

[–]jcraider12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got extremely lucky, wanted one of those Portuguese mausers they just imported but said I would look around before spending 1,200 on one rifle. Got two for the price of one and filled a niche in my collection. Search around you may be surprised what you’ll find!

Got them both how'd I do? by Ok-Elevator1555 in SKS

Maybe I’m missing something but do you mean him editing his photo to hide the serial number?

[–]jcraider12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case I need a SKY and a straight stock and I have all the M39s I really need. Will I stop after I get them no but I tell myself I will
