Keystone Mini Mosin

They're only making 500 of them. You better hop on it.

I just did. Right after I created the post I went to their website. I filled out the order form and pulled the trigger. I told myself, "What the hell, it's just money" .

There you go! It looks like a neat little rifle.

That's cool...... I can't justify it for myself but that doesn't diminish the "coolness factor". If they were to make it a regular model instead of a limited edition of 500 the price would most likely come down also. This limited edition may just be a marketing plan to see what type of demand exists for something like that. I better stop looking at it...... The more I look, the cooler it gets.

Now thats cool! I see that they offer a standard version as well. I'll probably order one when I haven't blown my toy budget for the next 6 months.
Getting the crate and all the doodads would be neat, but it would end up as another box I'd need to find a place for lol.
Offering a "limited/pre order" version of something at start up is pretty common practice now. I've got quite a few limited/pre order goodies from my video games, and had a good number of limited paintball markers. There's always folks willing to spend the extra for the cool add on doodads, serial#s, or colors.
And the doodads that come with this are REALY cool.

Never heard of them before. Except for..
Is the action the same or similar? And please post a range report when it comes. Very cool.

wish i had the $$ i will be going by milton pa were there made this weekend to pick up a tractor. always when i'm broke.

Keystone Sporting Arms is the manufacture of the Crickett youth rifles.

The Mini Mosin is based off the Crickett action and will be a single shot. My son and grand son both have a Crickett rifle.
I'm not sure if I'm going to shoot the rifle. I might just keep it in the box.

I'll shoot it for ya . If you do decide to shoot it, I'd love to see how well it does. I'd assume as well as the Crickett. I've recently developed a taste for the Mosin. A sickness maybe.

i don't think i would shoot it. these would be worth some $$$ down the road. if they start making more then shoot it. if i stop by there hq this weekend i will ask some questions maybe see if i can shoot one.

....hrrmmmm...yes.... it wouldnt be a real Mosin experience if you didn't have to spend the night before your first range trip cleaning the crap out of it....

Made by Keystone in .22 LR, in a similar size to their scaled down kid size Crickett rifles.

From a Guns.Com on-line article:

"This Mini-Mosin is the perfect size for your little Comrade" - said Keystone on social media.

A lot of Texas kids can hardly wait until their birthday.

This little Mosin will not be lonely at my house. It will have around 50 big brothers to keep it company.
I have also given thought to building a copy of the crate that a standard 91/30 will fit in.

That would be great to have the matching crates sitting next to each other! And $399 for just the rifle isn't bad, but I would have to have the crate also if I owned one of these. Problem is I don't have any other mosins to go with it, or any spare cash right now. My son would love this thing though...

i see little tiny 5 round striper clips in my head, but it would have costed more. or a 6'' bayonet lol.

Ha! That's exactly what I pictured. But apparently it's single shot?

yeah....tho if it sells well, I wonder if they would consider doing the work to make it take a 10rnd magazine.
cause lets face it striperclips would be AWSOME, but opening up the bottom of the action and using the mosins "magazine" to hid a regular savage,marlin...you name them style mag wouldnt be THAT hard.

That would likely be doable.....tho Id be more concerned with a kid running around poking stuff, than i would them shooting stuff....I dunno, seems like it would be more likely to all end in tears.

In the description it says this is just the first of a series of Mini Milsurps. So if this takes off like I’m thinking it will then there should be an Enfield, Springfield, Mauser, and Arasaka as well I would hope.
