The guns are cool historically and technically. However, ammo is rare that I've never found it even at major gun shows. The cartridge is not too powerful either and the trigger pull is supposedly dreadful.
Yes, reloading equipment exists for the 7.63x38r calibre. There are quite a few sites dedicated to that reloading project. It's a great weapon that I thoroughly enjoy.
It's probably one of the few guns that a hi-point looks at and laughs.
i have heard some were single action only.
mine spins the cylinder in double action but doesn't cock the hammer and fire.
is mine broken, weird, or just a nagant?
I think everyone is missing the MN revolver's big plus. When I got mine it still had cosmoline in it. Made in 1941 and never cleaned. I fired it no problem before I broke it down for a correct cleaning. This gun will function reliably under ludicrous abuse and neglect. [...] They know it will work. If you were walking rail yards in -30 degree temperatures with blowing snow and ten foot visibility, how many weapons available for under $500 would you prefer over the old Moison-Nagant?
Wow, very snazzy. Yours is almost as pretty as mine.
