    Custom Mosin-Nagant Project

    @ LAGS Accuracy first Function second Looks second True to Frank Lloyd Wright, I believe that Form and Function should be one, but accuracy is the most important trait desired above the other two. After looking at the Center Balance System website again, following my post above about them...

    Custom Mosin-Nagant Project

    @LAGS Roger that on the options for the McGowen's barrel, thus my excitement for finding the parts for this project. In regards to the bullpup configuration - there is a sorta mass produced custom set of furniture from Center Balanced Systems that converts the MN to a bullpup. You can...

    Custom Mosin-Nagant Project

    I came across a photo on-line of a simply built bullpup MN. Looked as though it was fashioned with hand made parts but the overall package looked good and best of all, short. So I have a desire to build my own now. The reason I want just a receiver is because the barrel and wood furniture...

    Custom Mosin-Nagant Project

    I want to undertake the construction of a custom Mosin-Nagant, using some of the more contemporary aftermarket parts now available. Before I start purchasing materials though, I am having a hard time finding any receivers for sale through the regular surplus websites. I have seen them...

    Lasers on a handgun?

    Lasers are more gimmick than anything else. Most sidearm fire fights occur within 21 feet, so ask yourself, what good will a laser do in that situation? If you can't come on point from the hoslter in the blink of an eye, what makes you think a laser is going to get you there faster? Save...

    Where do you live? And why?

    I was born at Offutt AFB, just outside of Omaha NE. First conscious memories are while we were living/stationed at Torejon AFB, Madrid Spain. This was during the time of Franco (the last Fascist dictator), who I apparently saw during some of the military parades held in downtown Madrid. All...

    Encouraging New Gun Owners Through Mosin-Nagant

    No idea what the prices are in your region's Walmarts, but you might want to check the price on Mossberg 702 Plinkster semi-auto rifles (.22lr). Here in Central Virginia they are selling for $107.

    Rifle users thoughts on scopes with mounted lasers

    I know someone who adds lasers to EVERYTHING he can (that has a rail or can have a rail attached) and I just shake my head whenever he suggests I add a laser to any of my rigs. The only thing I add normally is a scope, except to my Mossberg 702 Plinkster, which I have expressly forbidden myself...

    Stock Project for Daughters’ Mossberg Plinksters

    Nice looking, good work there. Love the KalashniKitty sticker! What did Serena do to her trigger finger? Also, I noticed that one Plinkster is a bolt action and the other is a semi-auto, was that by their choice?

    The Mosin Nagant Club

    Been a member of the THR Mosin club for over 20 years and didn't even know it! Pictured is my Finnish M28, with Hex receiver. One of approximately 33,000 made according to the 7.62x54r website. Was a Big 5 purchase back in the very late 80s or possibly turn of the 90s decade. Paid either...

    7.62x39 Question

    The Soviets and Chinese have been providing plenty of 7.62x39 weapons around the planet. Since the end of WWII, everytime American soldiers have engaged the enemy, the primary response to our firepower has been the 7.62x39 (SKS and AK)........that alone speaks volumes of it's capability for...

    .22lr to train new shooters with?

    I disagree a little with your statement TonyAngel. Learning to shoot includes the operation of any firearm. Loading, safety device/switch utilization, cocking, obtaining sight picture while aiming down range, breathing management, squeezing the trigger, rendering safe again..........all part...

    Non-Detachable SKS Mags?

    Mine is a Norinco SKS, which I bought from Big5 back in the late 80s. I tried both a 20 round and 35 round attached magazines and found both of them to flatout suck when it came to loading, so they are nothing but clutter in the cabinet now. The 20 rounder just doesn't like being force fed the...

    .22lr to train new shooters with?

    Walmart has the Mossberg Plinkster 702 for $107 right now, at least here in VA. Price is probably the same in most regions. Decent lightweight rifle, nothing spectacular......just a good general purpose/critter rifle for around the house and would be a good candidate to train noobs with no doubt.

    Rossi Trifecta w/ .22lr Question

    Hello. My father purchased a pair of Rossi Trifectas for my children (currently 12yo & 9yo) as their Christmas presents last year. They are great starter rifles and should my children ever express an interest in hunting, they could pursue just about everything legally with just a switch of...
