Opieee Thanks for the info; I was hoping someone had worked up some data and had some specific recommendations. I don't want to have to buy another useless reloading manual just for this rifle. Maybe It would be a good Idea to buy some brass with non-Berdan primer pockets and use the powder...

Want to do some reloading for my 91/30 Mosin Nagant and my Finn M39. Does any one have this info? I have a pretty good amount of Accurate 2700 and one of the slower burning Hodgon powders and a supply of 150 grain psp Speer spitzers. My old Speer reloading book totally ignores the round

Was watching a video about life above the Arctic Circle a little while ago about some folks (guess they were Laplanders) herding reindeer with snow- mobiles and camping out rough and happened to notice one guy had a rifle with him. Three guesses what it was (you won't need 'em all).

Re Front Barrel bands I'm sure somebody who knows a lot about the various incarnations of Mosins will be able to answer this question: Can I replace a m91/30 Mosin Nagant front barrel band with an earlier model easily removable and replaceable (and more expensive) barrel band? I have...

Where I got my mosins I bought two from keepshooting.com and The M39 from [email protected]. The two I bought from keepshooting were arsenal refinished and except for the crappy shellac were very nice. The Finn looked nice until you removed the wood and there I found some minor rust and...

shelac shmellyac The crap on my arsenal refinished Mosins could be easily removed by a casual fingernail. It was total crap. I removed it with lacquer thinner, steel wooled them with very fine steel wool, redyed the stocks with dye and put on three coats of clear, satin, marine spar varnish...

1. If I have a sourse for metric wood screws, what size screw do I ask for as replacements for the original m91/30 butt plate screws? I don't want to deal with minimum order fees and high postage charges just to buy a couple of common screws and I would like to use the original length and...

Re deer hunt Good luck and may you eat venison. Too flat and and visually too close cover here for the 7.62x54 unless shooting down from a tree stand. I wouldn't want to kill somebody with a stray round. Something with more limited range: 30-30 or 7.62X39 or a shotgun with buckshot or...

Did that. iron sights- 100 yards, 149 gr Russian surplus ammo; Fired ten rounds total in the Finn and began by aiming intentionally low and moved to the center and put six of six on a 8.5x12 paper with a 6 in bull and got one 2.25 in above dead center, one 3 in from dead center at ten o'clock ...

Front Barrel Band removable over the front sight. I ruined the front barrel band trying to get it off without removing the sight which is a pain in the bum. It is a dumb arrangement. Here's a cheap low cost practical permanent solution: Get a sturdy black zip tie of the appropriate size...

I have already tried the 20 gauge bore brush, with brake cleanre and an electric drill. I did that before I bought the other bolt head. You mention "freshen the chamber"; Please tell me how that is done??? Thanks

Headspace cont. It will chamber and extract the round, but only with difficulty. I bought another bolt head with no better result and tried the bolts from two different pieces with no better result. The bolt from the culprit rifle works faultlessly in the other guns. Inspection with a light...

Does anyone know what would be the proper fee to pay a gunsmith for correcting the headspace of a MN (more or less)?

Burns; More Bad News Yesterday while purchasing yet another firearm from an other firm, in conversation with the salesman (himself a collector) he said he got a finn from pat Burns at gunsnammo without an extractor. When he called about it Burns' response was a gruff, curt "Well what do you...

M39 Buyer Beware I bought for about $365 ($22 was shipping) an m39 from gunsnammo.com / [email protected]. Their online ad said that the gun was a Sako m39 with 100% blue, bright sharp shiny bore, matching bolt, sako wartime stock in excellent condition with an 1896 Izhevsk receiver...

I forgot to mention that keepshooting.com will include with the rifle a "takedown" tool, a web sling, an oil bottle with two chambers (and cosmoline) twin pebble grained leather ammo pouch and a long spike you can use to toast marshmallows. The rifles have been cursorily wiped of the cosmoline...

How do you upload a picture?

MORE SPECIFFICS Both rifles were bought from keep shooting.com. I would say they are arsenal refurbished, but I cannot detect the slightest sign of usage wear anywhere. The older one with the pinned sight base was made in 1930 at the Izhevsk arsenal and the stock is made much better than the...

@#$%^&**!! I was logged in and spent an hour crafting a detailed post' when I had finished and tried to post it The thing said I didn't have "permission" to refresh the page and log in. When I did my post was gone. The lesson is if faced with a similar happening; copy your post so you can...

There is a 3/8 in dovetail under the rear sight base. Once it is removed the dovetail can be used with the proper scope rings to securely mount a long eye relief scope. Of two 91/30s the one made in 1930 is pinned in place and the other (1934) has no pins so I suppose it is soldered on...
