grimjaw is correct, if you are considering it, go to gunboards.com check out the sniper rifle forum, there has been much discussion as well as many pictures from people that have purchased them. My money is going towards a garand otherwise I probably would have tried to scrape the pennies...

The bell seems to be it! Went through and did another 50, and worked much better! Thanks

I actually did check the length (buried in my first post). I never used the powder die, and it sounds like that was my problem. When I was charging the case I I just put it up to the powder measure. I will give the powder die a shot this weekend and see if that helps.

It is a flat base bullet. I did not bell, mostly because I didn't know. To this point I have only loaded larger rifle calibers (30-06, 8mm, 54R). So I was loading this the same way. Clean/Inspect Lube Size Clean Prime Charge Seat Bullet I am using the lee perfect powder measure...

I got all the final stuff I needed from Midway yesterday, so I rushed home all excited to try it out! I got the Lee carbide dies, and was very impressed with them. After sizing all my cases I went to trim, I just use the lee trimmer, and noticed I couldn't get the trimmer all the way in...

You can find out a lot about the gun by going here: http://7.62x54r.com/ He has tons of info on those guns...I think they are very fun!

yeah, I have been trying to keep my out for one...not that I NEED another mosin, but I just love the history behind them!

I would jump on it, it is a Spanish Civil War gun, something I would love to get my hands on, if it doesn't speak to you after buying it, let me know...please! more info here: http://7.62x54r.net/MosinID/MosinRareSCWM9130s.htm

Thanks for the tip...I might just have to send it in here this week!!

Very nice!! I am going to be putting my order in soon, hopefully the next week or so. Curious though, how did you request a WWII? That has been the one thing holding me back is I would want a WWII receiver.

another possiblity is someone put it together from parts...

Generally the russian captures have been reblued, have a coat of shellac over the stock, but another dead giveaway is if there is the serial number stamped on the left side of the stock. This number will match what is on the receiver/barrel. Generally if it is a complete mixmaster with...

Well I have found some ammo, but with the inability to shoot steel out of my barrel (even though it is a modified choke), I think this gun will be relegated to the occasional hunt, or may have to be sold off, too bad too, a nice looking sportsman model 48... I had always had an interest in 16...

Yeah, most the land up here is Waterfowl Production areas, and they require steel, no excuses. But, I just realized my gun will not be able to shoot steel as it was made in the late 40's....now I am really upset!

How about for steel shot? Up here in MN, all public land you have to use steel shot. I just bought my wife a 16 gauge for her to start with (she had concerns about shooting a 12 gauge). I am local to Sportsman Guide, but am not seeing anything...

Another thing to consider, I beleive all the GP11 (swiss surplus) is non corrosive, which means those guns probably never fired corrosive,so bores *should* be better. Swiss will also be a little cheaper less than $200 compared to the m39 $250 +

If you are looking for a shorter mosin I would recommend the M38. Same as M44, but without the bayonet. You will want to shoot the M44 with the bayo extended as that seems to affect accuracy. Shouldn't be an issue with the M38. Of for a little more you can get a 91/59, basically a 91/30 cut...
